About this home

Set above the fog line on 6+ usable acres, this extraordinary ridgetop retreat feels like a hidden mountain Shangri-La. Private and peaceful, this home and its surrounding acreage are a sanctuary shaped by an easy connection to nature. Just 15 minutes from Santa Cruz, the property offers a rare escape from everyday life, creating an atmosphere that feels restorative, spiritual, and unique. The remodeled kitchen with new appliances and upgraded countertops serves as the heart of the home, complemented by vaulted natural wood ceilings that add warmth and character throughout. A dedicated separate workshop, private office, and custom stone hearth with a wood-burning stove add comfort and flexibility. Outside, a tranquil koi pond with Japanese maples and a heavy timber arbor, wraparound IPE deck, and mature fruit trees create inviting spaces to relax and reconnect with nature. This high-end 3BD/2BA home is fully off-grid capable with 50 owned solar panels, a water-cooled Generac diesel generator, a high-pressure well pump, and two enclosed 5,000-gallon water tanks. An oversized garage, EV charger, and extensive fire hardening complete this remarkable retreat where quality, tranquility, and serenity come together.
