Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1982 (42 years old) with no recorded renovations. The listing explicitly describes the property as a 'project' and 'fixer.' Visual evidence shows significant structural neglect, including a partially collapsed roof/porch area, extensive debris, and abandoned vehicles. The systems and interior appear to require a complete gut rehabilitation to address safety and habitability issues.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- 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 = 2546518, living area = 1610.
- Expansive Acreage & Natural Features
The property boasts 58 acres of diverse terrain including a running creek, redwood forests, and 180-degree mountain views, offering rare privacy and natural beauty.
- Strategic Location
Situated just 30 minutes from Silicon Valley and Los Gatos, this location provides a perfect balance between a secluded mountain retreat and proximity to major tech hubs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Extensive Renovation Needed
Both the main residence and the block-built workshop are designated as fixers, requiring significant capital investment and labor to become habitable.
- Off-Grid Infrastructure Challenges
The property's remote nature and 'off-grid potential' suggest that utility connections and private road maintenance may present ongoing logistical and financial hurdles.
About 820 Bear Creek
Fifty-eight acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the kind of land that doesn't come up often. A creek runs through the property, and there are several flat, usable landings. The upper landing has 180-degree mountain views. One mile off Bear Creek Road on a private road, twelve minutes to world-famous Skyline Blvd, and minutes from Byington and David Bruce wineries. Los Gatos and Highway 17 are roughly half an hour away; downtown Boulder Creek is 12 minutes the other way. This is a project. The 3BD/2BA, 1,610 sq ft house (1982) and block-built workshop are fixers. Under the wear is a true 1980s contemporary: two stories, high ceilings, a river rock fireplace, and angled shed rooflines with porthole windows. The forest is redwood and mixed evergreen. Off-grid potential for someone who wants to be 30 minutes from Silicon Valley and a world away from it.
