Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While the property description contains conflicting information regarding the presence of a residential structure (stating a house was lost and a tiny home sold separately), the MLS data explicitly lists 1 bed, 1 bath, 220 sqft, and a year built of 2021. The provided images showcase a modern, newly constructed or extensively renovated tiny home interior. The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, modern two-tone cabinetry, and solid surface countertops. The bathroom is equally updated with contemporary fixtures, geometric floor tiles, and shiplap walls. All visible components appear new or virtually new, consistent with a 2021 build year, indicating excellent overall quality for the residential structure depicted in the images.
The property features a large, well-established pond (30x80'+/-) with a liner, river rock, and concrete hatchery structures, previously used for raising various game fish with a Santa Cruz Co. Fish and Game Dept. stocking permit.
Equipped with a second well (dug in '96) for irrigation and the pond, along with intact pumps, timers, and plumbing for wells, pond, and hatchery, ensuring ample water supply for specialized uses.
The previous home's passive solar design, solar heat, and passive cooling (resulting in zero heating/cooling bills) suggest the land is well-suited for a new eco-friendly build with low utility costs.
The main house was lost in the CZU fire, and the listed 220 sqft is likely a minimal structure or placeholder, meaning a buyer will need to undertake significant construction and investment to build a new home.
The highly specialized aquaculture setup and lack of a primary residence will appeal to a very limited buyer pool, potentially leading to longer market times and a more challenging sale process.
The history of the house being lost in the CZU fire may raise concerns for potential buyers regarding rebuilding complexities, insurance availability/cost, and perceived ongoing fire risk in the area.
