This property is so quiet and private that when the birds stop singing you can hear them thinking. You will just want to sit on the porch and savor this land. It has a large open, sunny meadow and feels like a private 50 acre estate. 10 minutes to Aptos Village. This darling well built cottage style home is a 3/2 with a master bath and walk-in closet. The vaulted ceiling in the living room frames two walls of glass that fill the house with light. Two large decks, perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. Every room opens up to the outside. Multiple fruit trees and rose bushes flourish in the garden. Newly built in 1994 it is solid and clean and has been lovingly maintained by a meticulous owner. The well is over 500 feet deep. The property includes a fully functional trailer/mobile home nestled in the forest with a separate septic system and all the hookups ready for occupancy, a perfect rental or caretakers unit. It is in the highly desirable Valencia Elementary School district.
