      Spectacular opportunity to own an OCEAN VIEW, "close-in" tastefully remodeled 5,000 sq/ft.  5 bed 4.5 bath sunny Soquel foothills estate on useable acreage! At $312/sq.ft, it is priced well below competition and offers timeless, ultra-custom upgrades!  Gorgeous granite slab and custom-designed timeless granite backspashes in all 4.5 baths and super-sized kitchen island and counters. 1501 Hidden Valley Road is a perfect property for an empty-nesting couple who want an idyllic retreat for their extended family holidays, a large family, a family living with aging parents, or just an average family, like the current owners, who raised two fine sons here and found daily delight in the sights and sounds of nature, expansive ocean views, mezmerizing greenbelt views being at the beach in minutes and returning to relaxing around a fire or in a hammock with views to the Pacific Ocean.   Quality solid construction, minutes to Santa Cruz beaches and quaint villages of Soquel, Capitola and Aptos.  Wake up every morning to the specta cular ocean views from your master bed oversized picture window.  Invite your family/friends to your piece of Paradise nestled in the foothills with panoramic ocean and breathtaking long-range mountain and valley views.  Ideal for year-round indoor/outdoor living,  vineyard, gardening and alfresco entertaining due to the above fog, sunny, mild "banana-belt micro-climate".Hiking, jogging, biking or just walking your dog on the Hidden Valley private road feels like you live in your own private National Park.  Road Association dues are conveniently impounded into your property taxes.   Great neighbors, very safe neighborhood.  1501 is located at the top of the road near the end of the road.  Plenty of usable acreage for pool/vineyard/horses  and/or gardening. Low maintanence landscaping on sprinkler system. Abundant fresh water from private well.   Large size driveway with plenty of room for RV and lots of guests. New energy efficient Milgard windows. Five skylights keep the house light and bright. Lifetime warrantee on siding (you can pull it off to expose beautiful redwood siding or re-finishing  in Stucco which would result in a substantial increase in equity). You would end up with a 5,000 sq. ft Meditarranean Villa with spectacular views from every window in the home to the ocean and Tuscan-like valley Open space living lets you enjoy all the fun as you entertain or just do life! Natural light in laundry roon.  Large walk-in pantry.Chef's dream custom Kitchen done in renewable Liptus wood with Maple inserts and features unique backlighting behind the dramatic mountainscape granite backsplash! Viking 6 burner stove, oversized Vicking Stainless Steel built-in fridge Vicking Stainless Steel wine fridge. Multiple food prep and clean-up centers.

Nestle in front of one of  two wood-burning fireplaces and 2 wood stoves. Separate third garage can be easily converted into an additional guest house/art studio/office. Three central heat and cooling (A/C) zones.  Attention surfers, beach and nature lovers!!! Enjoy the best of both worlds; be at the beach in minutes to catch some waves and come home to your above-fog sunny paradise retreat (typically 8-10 degrees warmer in the winter than at the beach) in a few short minutes.  Star-studded sky lights up at night and you can practically touch the stars! You'll have tons of falling stars to make wishes on . . .  Property is ONLY 3.7 miles to all the conveniences of 41st St.!   Yet you feel like you are living in the hills of Tuscany and away from it all! Also an easy commute to SJ through back roads. Current owner worked in San Jose for 10 years and felt the drive home was sooo worth it... to arrive to Paradise! Agents: You have to get your cl
