Condition Rating
Poor
The property consists of a 1912 ranch house and a 1966 home. The 1912 house, as depicted in the images, features a very dated 'farmhouse kitchen' with basic, old-style built-in cabinetry and no visible modern appliances. The bathroom in the 1912 house has a heavily chipped claw-foot tub and basic fixtures, indicating significant wear and a lack of modern updates. While the description mentions 'original fir floors' and an 'old-fashioned parlor' which offer historic charm, these elements, along with the kitchen and bathroom, suggest the main living spaces require substantial renovation to meet contemporary standards. There are no interior images for the 1966 home, but given its age, it is also likely to be significantly dated. Although the barn/studio is recently renovated and the well has a new pump, the primary residences' core living areas (kitchens and bathrooms) are in a condition that necessitates major rehabilitation rather than minor updates.
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 = 335412, living area = 2634.
Exceptional Panoramic Views: The property boasts stunning panoramic views, encompassing ocean sunrises and sunsets, the Pajaro Valley, Ventana Wilderness, city lights, mountains, and natural landscapes from various vantage points.
Multi-Unit & Income Potential: Features two separate and private homes (1912 ranch house, 1966 home) plus a recently renovated barn/studio, offering significant flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or potential rental income.
Expansive & Usable Acreage: A substantial 7.7-acre lot with rolling fields, mature fruit trees, garden areas, and ample space for hiking and exploration, providing privacy, natural beauty, and a rural lifestyle.
Self-Sufficient Utilities: Equipped with a good well (featuring a new pump) and two septic systems with clearance, indicating reliable and independent water and waste management infrastructure.
Historic Charm & Character: The 1912 ranch house retains original architectural details such as fir floors, an old-fashioned parlor, and a claw-foot tub, appealing to buyers seeking unique historical character and a classic farmhouse aesthetic.

Cons

Age of Primary Structures: The main ranch house was built in 1912 and the second home in 1966, suggesting potential for deferred maintenance or the need for significant updates to core systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing) not explicitly mentioned as renovated.
High Maintenance Demands: A 7.7-acre property with multiple structures, extensive landscaping, and fruit orchards will require substantial ongoing time, effort, and financial investment for upkeep and management.
Rural Location & Accessibility: Situated in a more rural setting on 'Valley View Road' near the Ventana Wilderness, which may imply longer travel times to major services, urban centers, or specific school districts, potentially limiting appeal to some buyers.
