As a 1950s mountain home, the property may face challenges common to the area, such as higher fire insurance premiums and the ongoing maintenance required for a redwood-heavy environment.
While offering serenity, the mountain location involves navigating winding roads which may be challenging during inclement weather or for buyers accustomed to traditional suburban accessibility.

Vaulted ceilings, wolf appliances, quartz countertops, hardwood floors, and three fireplaces set the tone inside, while sweeping redwood decks and forest views complete the picture outside. The primary suite is a spacious retreat featuring a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, private deck access with redwood forest views, and a full en-suite bath. The flexibility here is exceptional: the lower level can function as a self-contained 1-bed/1-bath unit, and a permitted guest cottage in the rear adds a fully equipped studio live in the main home and generate income from two separate units simultaneously. 2-car garage with workshop, spacious parking, auto sprinklers, and BBQ area round out the package. Top-rated Scotts Valley schools. Mountain escape. City access. Income potential. Rarely does one property deliver all three.
