Enjoy the Santa Cruz Mountain lifestyle on this fabulous generational property. TWO CONTIGUOUS PARCELS total just over 4 acres with a meadow, a seasonal creek, some granite outcroppings for that Tahoe feel! The original home was lost in the CZU fire and the permits for the rebuild are nearly ready to pick up. The permit fees have not yet been paid and they are not included in the sale, but all the plans, design work, and research which got us to this point are included. You can build the home which has been designed, or modify the plans to suit your own taste. Each parcel is zoned for a main home, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and a junior ADU (attached to the main home). Add barns, shops, sheds, or resurrect the corral which housed a couple of horses here for years. Abundant water from a spring AND a productive well ensure your ability to irrigate the meadow, the gardens and the many tree specimens. Located near the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains, we are usually well above the coastal fog. In fact, we enjoy a bit of snow almost every year. The school bus serving the well regarded Bonny Doon Elementary School has a stop not far away. Once you are on Empire Grade less than 3/4 mile from the property, UCSC is a straight shot of about 8 miles down Empire Grade, with not a stop sign nor traffic signal until you get to campus. If you enjoy water sports, you can drop down Pine Flat Rd. to the west and visit the famous North Coast beaches along scenic Highway 1.
