Description

My home is poised for peace and tranquility. Set on a small pond and 17 acres at the base of the beautiful UCSC campus, red-winged blackbirds, egrets, and great blue herons are regular visitors. It is a friendly neighborhood tucked away from hustle and bustle yet just a 5 minute walk from campus. Downtown cafes, bookstores, and beaches are a 5 minute drive. If you enjoy nature yet want instant access to town, this is an ideal location. Pogonip County Park is another backdrop which provides miles of walking trails through redwoods and overlooks SC Harbor. Route 1 to San Francisco (north) or Carmel/Big Sur (south), and Route 17 to San Jose/SF are minutes away, Small families and senior couples are kind neighbors. Multiple grocery stores nearby. Lovely private deck with potted plants and relaxing view.
