A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own approximately 38 acres nestled within its own private valley adjacent to Chaminade Resort. It is exceptionally rare to find this level of seclusion, privacy, and natural beauty just minutes from the conveniences of town. Spread across five parcels, the property offers expansive, sun-drenched acreage with sweeping views, remarkable tranquility, and extraordinary potential. A preliminary Rural Density Matrix suggests the possibility of up to four potential building sites, presenting a unique opportunity for estate development or long-term investment. An existing vintage cottage sits on its own 1.88-acre parcel, while the remaining 36+ acres are zoned RA (Residential Agriculture). The property is bordered by Chaminade Resort to the West and vacant land (RA-D- Designated Park) to the North and East, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and a protected natural setting. Whether you envision creating a world-class legacy estate, family compound, or private retreat, or you’re a discerning investor or luxury home builder seeking an exceptional land opportunity, this property offers possibilities rarely found in Santa Cruz County. PRIVATE ROAD. Please no Drivebys.
