Aptos, California 95003
Introducing Valencia Meadows, a rare collection of seven estate homesites set across approximately 74 acres in the rolling hills of Aptos. Individual parcels range from approximately 6.3 to 23 acres, offering remarkable scale, privacy, and flexibility for the creation of custom residences in a naturally beautiful setting. The thoughtfully planned community includes a private internal road network, individual well and septic infrastructure, and designated residential development areas integrated into the existing topography. Open meadows, mature trees, ridgelines, and protected natural areas give each homesite a distinct sense of place while preserving the character of the land. Located at 700 Valencia School Road, Valencia Meadows offers the tranquility of country living within easy reach of Aptos Village, Highway 1, local beaches, Nisene Marks State Park, and the greater Santa Cruz coastline. With only seven homesites across approximately 74 acres, Valencia Meadows presents an uncommon opportunity to create a private California estate surrounded by space, scenery, and the natural beauty of the Aptos hills.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The existing structure dates back to 1883 (>50 years old) with no recorded renovations. The listing is marketed primarily for its 74-acre land value and the development of new custom estate homesites, indicating the current 1,100 sqft building is obsolete.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 3145903, living area = 1100.
This rare 74-acre offering is subdivided into seven expansive estate homesites ranging from 6.3 to 23 acres, providing a unique opportunity for a luxury residential compound or multi-lot development.
The property features stunning, multi-directional views encompassing the Monterey Bay, Pacific Ocean, and surrounding mountain ridgelines, significantly enhancing the future resale value of custom estates.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1100, other record living area = 1320.
The $10 million acquisition price covers primarily land and infrastructure, requiring substantial additional liquid capital for the vertical construction of luxury residences.
The current 1,100-square-foot structure built in 1883 offers negligible functional value relative to the list price and will likely necessitate demolition or a complete overhaul to meet modern luxury standards.
