What if your home could be both your private retreat and the beginning of something more? Set on 10+ peaceful acres in Bonny Doon, this beautifully updated property combines a gorgeous pool, expansive outdoor living, a versatile bonus unit and rare Special Use (SU) zoningcreating an opportunity that is hard to find in Santa Cruz County.
Soaring pitched ceilings and oversized windows fill the home with natural light and bring the outdoors in. Watch the sunset reflect off the pool, cozy up by the fire on stormy winter nights, or spend slow mornings with coffee poolside and evenings walking your own acreage.
The home flows effortlessly into the outdoor spaces, with plenty of room to entertain around the pool, gather for dinner, or enjoy summer movie nights on the expansive deck. When the day winds down, the setting is remarkably peaceful and private.
The bonus unit adds even more flexibility, while SU zoning offers buyers the opportunity to explore creative uses such as retreats, gatherings, events, workshops or other hospitality-oriented concepts.
Private, peaceful and full of possibilitybut the real magic of this property is how it feels when you arrive. Come experience Bonny Doon, breathe a little deeper, and see why this is the kind of place you don't want to leave
