About This Home

This private home in the Aptos hills less than five minutes above the village, pairs sweeping ocean and mountain views with storybook gardens on over an acre of land. High open-beam ceilings and expansive windows flood the main level with natural light and frame views of the bay and surrounding hills. The kitchen and dining area open to a welcoming patio, ideal for sunset dinners, sunrise coffees, weekend brunches, and easy indoor outdoor entertaining. Three bedrooms and 2.5 baths include a calm primary suite oriented to soft morning light with garden views and an expansive primary bath. Upstairs, a spacious loft room with bay views flexes beautifully as a media room, studio, or home office. Outside, terraced, drought tolerant gardens with roses and productive fruit trees create a private, year round oasis, complemented by a quiet sitting area under a majestic redwood grove. A covered back deck overlooks the gardens and hills, while a detached two car garage and generous parking for an RV, boat, or guests make hosting effortless. Five minutes to New Leaf and Aptos village, 15 mins to Capitola and 20 minutes to Santa Cruz.
