This exceptional property is in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay, along a gated private road with great views of the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay. It is secluded and serene, yet it is only 5 minutes from Highway 1, 15 minutes from Santa Cruz, and 90 minutes from San Francisco. The property covers 11+ acres of flat, open land and has 2 legal parcels. It features a romantic, contemporary Craftsman home (~2400 sq.ft.) connected via a courtyard with a guest house (~1800 sq.ft.), surrounded by extensive gardens, patios, and decks for outdoor entertaining. A modern kitchen opens to a spacious dining room and a living room with sweeping views over a coastal meadow frequented by wildlife. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom. The guest house has 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a library, kitchenette, and a large living space. The compound has a caretaker's studio (~400 sq.ft.), a garage and workshop (~1000 sq.ft.), and other outbuildings. It has a modern infrastructure with high-speed internet and backups for communications, power, water, and fire safety. Sited ~500 feet above sea level and 2 miles from the ocean, it is close enough to hear the surf at night, but far enough inland to be sheltered from the wind.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
