About This Home
As of August 2021Bonny Doon lifestyle in this fabulous secluded 3+ bed home. Set at the end of a long drive, this piece of perfection is incredibly private and enjoys views across SC City Watershed to forests beyond. Large decks allow gatherings to flow outdoors, while the living area fits many friends & family all year long. This property was not affected by the CZU fires; it still sits in an oasis of green. Fruit trees galore, w/ 2 Japanese Maples snuggled in the elbow of the decks. Blending the outdoor space w/ the inviting interior are an outdoor shower set inside a Redwood faerie ring, & 2 screened sleeping cabanas for those warm summer nights. Walk a few steps down the hill to discover a studio cabin, home to the original owner as he built this nearly perfect home. Need more? Hike your 4.6+ acres nestled among other large parcels, all of whom value privacy & peace. A true oasis in the woods, yet easily accessible to town, UCSC and the fabulous North Coast of Santa Cruz County. Paradise found!
