More Insights

Built in 1995 (30 years old).
Condition: The caretaker's home, built in 1995, is 30 years old. While well-maintained and functional, the interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, show signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older style wood cabinets and countertops, despite having updated stainless steel appliances. The bathroom vanity, mirror, and light fixtures are also dated. Flooring is a mix of wood laminate and carpet, which appears clean but not new. The overall aesthetic suggests regular upkeep but no major, recent renovation, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Acreage & Privacy: A substantial 19.65-acre private, gated ranch offering unparalleled seclusion and ample space for various uses.
Strategic & Exclusive Location: Situated in Santa Cruz's exclusive Old Pilkington Rd community, bordering a golf course and theater, yet minutes from major highways and beaches.
Exceptional Equestrian Infrastructure: Features a 2,400 sq ft remodeled barn with 4 stalls, tack room, wash stall, hay storage, loft, and offices, catering to serious equestrian needs.
Significant Development Potential: Zoned AG/Special Use, offering opportunities for future estate development through land division or creation of a multi-generational family compound.
Functional Caretaker's Residence & Utilities: Includes a 3BR/2BA caretaker's home with guest quarters, outdoor kitchen, and is supported by two productive wells and underground utilities.

Cons

Absence of Primary Residence Details: The listing highlights a caretaker's home (950 sqft) but provides no information on a main residence, suggesting a buyer would need to undertake significant new construction.
High Price Point for Undeveloped Estate: The $8.2 million asking price is substantial, especially given the likely need for a new primary home, which significantly narrows the potential buyer pool.
Niche Market Appeal: While versatile, the property's specific ranch and equestrian focus, combined with the implied need for primary home construction, targets a very specific and potentially limited buyer demographic.
