This 3 BR/3 BA cabin-style Forest Lakes home with an attached ADU sits on a flat 0.23-acre lot where sunlight filters through the redwoods. The main living space has 2 bedrooms, a bath, and a gas fireplace, with skylights over the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is open to the dining area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Step out to the deck off the kitchen, or to the patio for evenings outside. Recent new flooring. A mini-split handles heating and cooling, the roof is metal, and the water heater is newer. Downstairs, the ADU is a studio with its own bath. It works well for guests or as a rental. The 1-car garage is on this level too, next to a bonus room with a bathroom and shower. Forest Lakes ownership includes access to the community lake for swimming in season. The lake started as a logging millpond in the early 1900s. The house sits at the quiet end of Redwood Road, a short loop off Lakeview Drive. Enjoy the Santa Cruz Mountains lifestyle with Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and downtown Felton just 5 minutes away. Highway 17 is about 15 minutes away, and Santa Cruz and the beaches are about 20 minutes down scenic Highway 9.

Forest Lakes, located between Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and the San Lorenzo River corridor, is a wooded and lakeside Felton neighborhood with a cabin-in-the-redwoods feel and winding, narrow lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Forest Lakes Clubhouse and lakefront, where docks, footpaths, and tall redwoods set a quiet, outdoors-first rhythm. Architecture leans toward rustic cabins and mid-century mountain homes with decks, wood siding, and filtered light through the canopy. Daily errands and coffee runs orbit nearby downtown Felton along Highway 9. Community pillars include the historic Felton Covered Bridge, Roaring Camp Railroads, and the Felton Music Hall for live shows. Trailheads, river access, and shaded roads shape a walk-and-wander lifestyle.
