Step back in time and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Aptos foothills. Set in a sun drenched meadow just 3.2 miles from the vibrance and activity of Aptos Village this 13 plus acre ranch has been in the Bella family since 1962. Having settled on the adjoining ridge in 1895 the family chose this site to raise their family and continue a rich legacy of apple farming. As it did with the Bellas this 2 bedroom home and meadow setting is ripe for new beginnings. Located at the junction of Valencia School Road and Fern Flat, the property enjoys a backdrop of stately redwoods and mature oaks. The home is nestled deep in the meadow affording it the best of both sun exposure and privacy. As you step out onto your patio & take in the serenity and beauty you may encounter one of the many deer that stop to enjoy an apple or two. Did we talk about the pool & spa? Set on the sunny side of the home it is a great place to relax & take in nature and the sound of the breeze through the redwoods. We can not forget the home itself which has been updated and enjoys an abundance natural light and warmth from the wood burning stove. The kitchen and dining area flow into the spacious living room with it's view of the redwoods and oaks. Private getaway or the stage for your new estate. Only you know.
