Welcome to Lizard Ranch! A once in a lifetime dream 44 acre property in the Soquel mountains where you can let your imagination run wild. Featuring a renovated 5 bedroom main house (split between two units), a yurt, 5 Tentrr glamping tents, a greenhouse converted into a spa, and a 1600ft garage/workshop/office. The well-maintained road accesses several more attractions - drive to the top to enjoy unobstructed ocean and greenbelt views in every direction. You'll first see your private pond that's fed by a historical spring that was dug out of the mountain over 100 years ago. Immediately above the pond is an acre vineyard with 3y/o Gamay Noir vines. As you continue up the road, you'll pass a well-producing avocado orchard with over 40 80+ y/o avocado trees + many other varieties of fruit trees. Finally, you'll reach the top to enjoy ocean views where you can see across the Monterey Bay. The road continues across the top of the mountain ridge where the greenbelt views display the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The property can operate completely off-grid from the solar on the main house which includes a Tesla Powerwall and a 400ft private well. There is far too much to this property to list in one paragraph, this property absolutely needs to be seen to appreciate.

Despite being built in 1908, the property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, as evidenced by the 'Est. 2022' sign and the modern aesthetics throughout the visible interior. The kitchens feature new dark cabinetry, white countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge), and contemporary lighting, all appearing virtually new. The living spaces also showcase modern design with wood floors and fresh finishes. While specific bathroom images are not provided, the high quality and recent nature of the visible renovations strongly suggest that all major components meet current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation, aligning with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently renovated property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 1920996, living area = 2600.
Expansive & Scenic Acreage: This 44-acre property offers unparalleled, unobstructed panoramic views of the ocean, Monterey Bay, mountains, and greenbelt, providing immense privacy and natural beauty.
Self-Sustaining Infrastructure: Equipped with a comprehensive off-grid system including solar power with a Tesla Powerwall and a 400ft private well, significantly reducing utility costs and enhancing independence.
Diverse Income & Lifestyle Opportunities: Features a vineyard, a mature avocado orchard, other fruit trees, a yurt, and five glamping tents, offering potential for agritourism, rental income, or a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Unique & Versatile Amenities: Includes a renovated 5-bedroom main house (split into two units), a 1600 sqft garage/workshop/office, a greenhouse converted into a spa, and a private spring-fed pond, catering to various personal and business needs.

Cons

Age of Primary Residence: The main house was built in 1908, and while renovated, older structures can present ongoing maintenance challenges or require specialized upkeep.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 5 bedrooms split across two units, the property only offers 2 bathrooms, which may be insufficient for a large family, multiple guests, or potential rental operations.
Complex Property Management: The sheer size and diverse array of features (multiple dwellings, agricultural operations, glamping sites, spa) suggest a high level of ongoing maintenance and management complexity, potentially requiring significant time or hired resources.
