Perched above the Corralitos Valley with sweeping panoramic views, this private single-level retreat offers the rare combination of nearly an acre of land, architectural character, detached garage/workshop space, and a peaceful country setting just minutes from Aptos beaches, shopping, dining, wineries, and top local schools. Enjoy stunning sunsets from the expansive view deck, mature gardens, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and the relaxed lifestyle that makes Corralitos one of Santa Cruz County's most desirable rural communities.
OakHill offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Santa Cruz County: a private view property on a single level with usable acreage, rural charm, and easy access to amenities (just barely in Corralitos, near Bradley School). The appeal goes far beyond the home itself. Nearby amenities are: biking through the Santa Cruz mountains, horseback riding, the locally-famous Corralitos Market & Sausage Co., Corralitos Wine Trail, Alladin Nursery, Cadillac Cafe, Circle & Square Bistro and you are settled halfway between Aptos and Watsonville for more entertainment, Foodie-central, Watsonville Airport, and miles of beaches. You can have it all.
