Remarks

Expansive views of Santa Cruz proper, the ocean glitters in the distance. End of a private gravel road just off Glen Canyon Road < 2 miles to midtown. While close to town the property feels much farther away from the hustle and bustle of town. +/- 3 acres. A secluded paradise. Theres space to grow your own food and live in harmony with the land. There are 20+ fruit trees including citrus, peaches, asian pears, apples, persimmons, olives and figs and several raised garden beds gopher wired and fenced for rabbits. There is irrigation to the garden beds. The entire property has 8 ft perimeter fencing (no deer here) and two large driveway gates. There is ample sun and you are above the fog line. The road was rocked with both drain rock and base rock and recently paved in sections. Listen to the sounds of the owls at night and the baby quails in the spring. Gaze at the stars on a clear night. Breath in the fresh air. The sunrises and sunsets are magical & colorful up here. This property is very special.
