Santa Cruz, California 95065
No mystery here, just pure value and possibility. Tucked behind a private gate amid the majestic redwoods, this mountain haven delivers the best of both worlds: serene privacy yet only about 10 minutes from midtown Santa Cruz shopping and dining, and 15 minutes from the beach. The versatile property centers on a light-filled 2-bedroom, 1-bath main home plus a studio 1-bath ADU, ideal for rental income, a work-from-home setup, multi-generational living, or guest quarters. Step onto the sun-drenched entry deck and into an open living room where skylights and dual-pane windows flood the space with natural light. The flow continues into an updated kitchen with custom concrete counters and a bright dining area framed by a wall of windows that deliver true treehouse vibes. Updated bathrooms and bedrooms are move-in ready, while decks surrounding the home make indoor-outdoor living effortless. Downstairs, an oversized 2-car garage connects to the attached guest unit/ADU. A flexible bonus room (perfect as an office, workout space, art studio, or she-shed) and an outdoor soaking tub complete the package. Wander the 2.53-acre grounds under towering redwoods or simply soak up the sunshine on your decks. Your private redwood retreat is calling; come experience the lifestyle for yourself.

The property includes a studio ADU and a flexible bonus room, offering excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated professional home office.
Situated on 2.53 private acres of majestic redwoods, the home provides a serene 'treehouse' atmosphere while remaining just 10-15 minutes from midtown Santa Cruz and the beach.
With only 1,353 total square feet split between the main house and ADU, the primary living quarters may feel restrictive for buyers requiring larger indoor spaces.
The expansive wooded lot and 1972 construction may require significant ongoing effort and expense for forest management, fire safety compliance, and mountain infrastructure upkeep.
