Attention country-life seekers and equestrian enthusiasts! This single-level ranch style home on nearly 4 acres presents an amazing opportunity! First time on the market, this home in a sought-after neighborhood has 2524 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a super cool flowing floor plan. 2-car attached garage. The living room and dining/family room area, each with a fireplace, open to the lovely large patio blending home and nature seamlessly. The patio and its pastoral views are an entertainer's delight! But also offers the opportunity for quiet contemplation - a peaceful slice of serenity from the busy pace of life. Country vistas from the windows present a welcome sense of privacy. The home is set a ways off the road; beyond the horse facilities awaiting the new owner. Stalls, paddocks, tack room and large arena! The bucolic open pasture area is level to gently sloping. The sense of nature and tranquility present a unique opportunity to create your own ideal country haven. The country atmosphere offers much to enjoy, yet Hwy. 1 and the town of Aptos are only about 5 minutes away. Rio Del Mar Beach just a few more minutes. Centrally located, Santa Cruz is just 20 minutes away, and Monterey 35-40 minutes. Come see and enjoy this wonderful property!
