Welcome to Casa Monte Vista! This classic single-level ranch home is perched on a knoll above tranquil Pleasant Valley with commanding, panoramic views. It's a world away from the modern grind of life, yet just a few minutes down well-maintained roads to Aptos, Watsonville, and miles of sandy beaches. You'll love this spacious home with a flowing, open floor plan. Walls of windows give way to an expansive deck, perfect for entertaining a crowd, who's bound to show up in the post-pandemic world, which beckons just around the corner. The property also features a detached garage with a delightfully livable apartment above it, as well as a substantial greenhouse/workshop bursting with possibilities. This two-acre parcel affords tremendous privacy and boasts a tetherball court, horseshoe area, fire pit, and catio. It all adds up to a home that's way more than the considerable sum of its parts where you'll love living for many years to come.
