Two beautiful, separate homes are set on this sun-drenched 25-acre property, offering a rare blend of privacy, space, and natural beauty. The main residence features a bright, open concept layout with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, filled with natural light and a warm, welcoming feel. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the property, the charming A-frame ADU includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath - perfect for extended family or immediate rental income. Each home has its own septic system and the three car garage also includes a second level workshop/bonus room. Unlike many mountain properties, this remarkable setting enjoys sunshine and expansive usable land, creating a bright, open environment that's both peaceful and inviting. While it feels like your own private forest retreat, you're just five minutes from downtown Aptos and a little over ten minutes from the beach. A rare combination of privacy, convenience, and the Santa Cruz lifestyle.
