This is the acreage you have been hoping for! Close in to Aptos Village, an ultra-private, 10 acre parcel off of Trout Gulch Road set in sparkling sunshine. The property sits high above the gulch with towering mature redwood groves and oak meadows. Upgraded, this 2073 square foot, single level ranch style home is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright style. Built in 1986 as a passive solar home and oriented to receive natural light throughout with plenty of windows, wood and skylights. The home looks out over a sunny meadow which is perfect for a pool or horses. Front yard has a lovely babbling pond with chorus frogs and blooming lotus year round. Landscaping includes mature fruit trees, rose bushes, and lilacs. A home office contains a loft and is plumbed for gas & water making this property extremely versatile. The grounds also include an adventurous tree house for the kids & a large secure dog run / shelter. Only 6 minutes from downtown Aptos.

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.
