The Neighborhood: The Santa Cruz Mountains offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. This lush and forested region is a nature lover's dream, featuring towering redwood groves, hiking and biking trails, and pristine state parks like Big Basin Redwoods State Park. With picturesque vistas, it's an idyllic setting for outdoor activities, including birdwatching and camping. The Santa Cruz Mountains also boast a thriving wine scene, with vineyards and wineries producing exceptional varietals. It's a place to unwind, disconnect, and find solace in nature's beauty, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. This is a very quiet, family neighborhood.

We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.

You’ll have one designated spot on the property. \- Nestled in the redwoods and set behind a gated fence, the home offers a serene forest escape.
