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 jays, 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!
