About this home

This peaceful mountain home truly feels like a private retreat. Less than 10 minutes to Aptos village and up a shared driveway with only 1 other property, this cozy and charming home rests on a sunny lot with a large fenced yard and plenty of open land for work and play. The expansive ground level deck looks out over manicured lawns, a private orchard with dozens of fruit trees, extra storage sheds, views of redwood groves and lighted patios and pathways that wind throughout the fenced portion of the property. The land beyond the fence is gently sloping with endless possibilities, plenty of space for future garages, barns or other structures. There is plenty of space for parking and oversized vehicles. The outdoor kitchen and deck are perfect for entertaining and backyard barbecues. Take in the night sky while you soak in your private hot tub. The home itself enjoys abundant sunshine coming through the dual pane windows. Inset lighting brightens the home at night while the wood burning stove keeps you warm in the winters. There is new waterproof flooring, fresh carpet and paint, a tankless water heater, long lasting architectural roofing (new in 2018) and a wheel chair friendly access to the ground floor bedroom and bathroom. This wooded oasis and mountain haven is a must see!

Agriculture

The purposes of the A Agriculture Zone District are to encourage and provide for noncommercial agricultural uses, such as family farming and animal raising, and to allow limited commercial agricultural activities, on the small amounts of agricultural land remaining in the County which are not designated as commercially suitable, but which still constitute a productive natural resource; to provide for agricultural uses of a higher intensity in rural areas than those allowed in the RA Residential Agricultural Zone District where such use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and the environmental constraints of the land; to maintain options for a diversity of farm operations; to implement the agricultural preservation policy of Chapter 16.50 SCCC; and to maintain productive open space and rural character in the County.
