About This Lot

As of April 2022

A great opportunity at a great price! Build your dream home on over 2.5 acres with mountain views in desirable Bonny Doon. The building site is set well back from Empire Grade road and is surrounded by towering redwood, madrone & oak trees that the Santa Cruz Mountains are so famous for. The 1750 sqft., 3 bedroom/2 bath & 2 car garage home was destroyed in the 2020 CZU fire. County says any new buyer can build an in-kind home & go through the same expedited Recovery Permit Process as the owners who lost their homes in the fire.
