This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $499,000—positioned well below the $505,728 Fair Market Value by 1.3%. This valuation gap offers $6,728 in Instant Equity. Featuring a Fair Condition Rating (4/10), the home includes a Garage/Workshop and a Large 0.75-Acre Lot. While the vintage infrastructure requires modernization, the property offers significant upside for Buy-and-Hold Investors or first-time buyers seeking a value-add mountain retreat.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1944, this cabin features recent cosmetic updates like new kitchen flooring and paint, but remains largely dated. The kitchen cabinets and tile counters appear to be over 20 years old, and the wood-paneled interior reflects a mid-century aesthetic. While livable as a starter home, the property requires modernization of systems and significant maintenance to exterior structures and outbuildings.
The property features a generous corner lot comprised of three parcels totaling over 0.75 acres, providing rare privacy and significant outdoor space in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Priced competitively under $500,000, this cabin offers substantial upside potential for buyers looking to build equity through further renovations or as a starter home.
The inclusion of a dedicated garage and workshop space, along with ample extra parking, adds significant utility and storage value that is highly desirable for mountain living.
Built in 1944, the home may require significant updates to its core systems and structural elements to meet modern standards beyond the recent cosmetic repairs.
With only 1,026 square feet of living space and a single bathroom, the layout may feel restrictive for growing families or those requiring a more spacious modern floor plan.
