About This Lot

As of January 2021

Over 8 acres of land approximately 3.6 miles from the Aptos Post office. Peace and quiet and less than 10 minutes to Aptos Village. Opportunities like this do not come up often at this price! Property was appraised for $375,000 in 2019. Price reflects the time/cost to obtain a building permit. There was previously a cabin onsite along with a well and electrical. Unknown if well or electrical onsite are functional. Plans were in progress approximately 20 years ago for a residence by local designer John Craycroft but never completed. Buyer advised to consult with County of Santa Cruz regarding requirement for obtaining a building permit. Copy of PRELIMINARY PROPERTY PROFILE REPORT from Hamilton Land Planning is available upon request.
