A design-forward studio retreat tucked into the redwoods, where every detail was chosen with intention. Heated floors, a custom curb-less glass shower, hand-finished tile work, and sculptural wavy-cut doorways give this space the feel of a boutique hideaway rather than a typical rental. Mini-split heating and A/C keep it comfortable year-round, and a private front deck opens onto towering redwoods. Set high on Empire Grade near Pine Flat, it's just 20 to 25 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz, the beaches, and the surf. And it's only about 12 minutes to Highway 1, putting the North Coast at your doorstep: Davenport, quiet beaches, surf breaks, coastal trails, and great mountain biking. A perfect launch point for the surfer, mountain biker, or trail runner whose life happens outdoors. All utilities included (water, gas, electricity, waste, and internet) for one simple, predictable monthly cost. Dedicated off-street parking reserved for you. The owner lives on-site in the main home, which is also hosted as a guest retreat, so you'll see visitors coming and going from time to time. It's a warm, well-kept, hospitable property, ideal for an independent tenant who's often out living their life. A rare find in the Santa Cruz mountains. 12-month lease. All utilities included - water, gas, electricity, waste and internet. Security deposit of one month's rent due at signing, first month's rent due on move in (prorated for mid-month move ins). Renters insurance required. Dedicated off-street parking included and reserved for the studio. No smoking anywhere on the property. Quiet hours 10 PM to 8 AM.
