This is that rare, in-town opportunity to build in Midtown Santa Cruz, an area sought after for its warm Banana Belt weather and convenience to local favs like Akira Sushi, Lillians, Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, and the Midtown Block Parties. And with the 60+ acre Arana Gulch Nature Preserve nearby, you'll enjoy scenic walking and biking trails to the Upper Harbor and Seabright Beach. This table flat and sunny flag lot is nicely tucked back off the street. The property was thoughtfully planned for a custom owner-occupied 4BR/3.5BA residence with an attached 2-car garage and a 1BR ADU. Building permits for this design received City approval in 2025, but for reasons unrelated to the property or the approved design, the permits expired. Included in the sale are conceptual architectural plans, along with a complete set of construction drawings that may be available for resubmission to the City of Santa Cruz, subject to architect approval and execution of a plan transfer agreement. Whether its to build a home with income or multigenerational living potential, design something that is completely you, or simply take advantage of the extensive planning already completed, this is an exceptional opportunity to get a quick jump on building.
