Remarks

This is a rare and spectacular offering with multiple uses; though what makes this property so special is its A+ location. The property is literally adjacent to Wilder State Park! This means you have direct access to nearly 11 miles of park land that travels from forest to the oceans front. And if that was not enough, you are only 4.8 miles to UC Santa Cruz and 6 miles from Shopping and Restaurants. The property is had been used to board horses, though the potential uses seem so abundant that the end user will have much to dream about. Currently only about 3+ acres are reserved for equestrian facilities, though the property is also suitable for a large vineyard, an Estate quality ranch, or for those that desire to own their own 144+ acre Utopia. Whatever you decide, you will have the pleasure of owning acres of majestic forests, including: 5 meadows that range from 1 to 4 acres of flat to gently sloped open space. There's also more than a couple wonderful locations to build your private estate. One of those location offers an ocean view. Simply unbelievable!
