(Undisclosed Address), Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Magical, extremely quiet, gated botanic garden-like home with 100 plus distinctive flowers blooming every season! Quiet paved private road with no one across from you, just nature, where you can watch stars in your yard at night and see blue jay, quail, and hummingbirds in the day from your window or deck. It is a perfect place to relax, rewind, restore energy, and nourish your soul and spirit! You feel like you are at a resort every day! It is 3 minutes to Henry Cowell Redwood Park with 13 trails if you love hiking, 5 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz or Scotts Valley, 12 minutes to the beach if you love surfing or walking on the beach, with immediate access to Hwy 17, and only 30 minutes to San Jose Airport. The first owner was a finish carpenter & master craftsman who put heart & soul & quality into this home! The home's esthetic is warm and comfortable, with large windows showcasing intentional landscaping, flowering plants 12 months a year, edible plants in three raised beds, about twenty fruit and nut trees, and even a screened blueberry patch and greenhouse. Solid Wood Doors! High-end Hearthstone Vermont Stove. Own well with excellent quality water (Santa Margarita aquifer) solar power panel. No chemicals have been used on the whole property, grounds, and buildings since 2009. Not a cookie-cutter home! This is truly a hidden gem you can rent as your home! The detached two-car garage is only for small compact cars with manual doors. It can be used for big storage, and there are off-street and driveway parking spaces for three regular cars. The renter is responsible for gas, electricity (almost 5 months FREE or under $20 due to the solar panel), Internet, trash, a fixed monthly water fee of $169, and a sewage fee of $90; the last month's rent is due at signing. No smoking or drugs are allowed. This is a long-term rental only, with favorable rent increase caps offered. A pet deposit and rent of $35-50, based on size, and a pet screening report are required.
