Property Description
Escape to Your Own Park Like Setting. Discover 13 acres of mountain seclusion atop a private ridgetop with sweeping views of the San Lorenzo Valley. This rare parcel invites you to create your own sanctuary in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The land offers expansive flat, usable areas ideal for gardens, recreation, or future projects. Tall see-through fencing protects your gardens while preserving the vistas. A fresh spring supplies water to a storage tank, perfect for off-grid living, permaculture, or a sustainable retreat. Propane service is available for conveniences like an outdoor shower, hot tub, or heated seating area. Once home to a 1930s cabin, the property was touched by the CZU Lightning Complex Fire, but nature has rebounded beautifully. A few newer storage sheds remain, and the property retains its gated privacy. The Fall Creek Unit of Henry Cowell is just minutes away, offering miles of hiking trails and natural beauty. Whether you envision weekend escapes or a private haven among towering redwoods and oaks, this unique property delivers history, beauty, and endless potential all within 15 minutes of downtown Ben Lomond, 30 minutes to Santa Cruz beaches, and 45 minutes to Silicon Valley. Experience the spirit of the mountains on land with history and heart.
