Big price reduction. Rare opportunity to own nearly 17 acres of wooded bliss among some of the most beautiful majestic redwoods in the mountains.Come see this gorgeous property and be amazed at the amount of sunlight and level areas throughout this park like setting. So many possibilities here! Great location just minutes to Scotts Valley, Los Gatos, Santa Cruz & Silicon Valley. Less than one mile to Hwy 17 without the traffic noise. You won't believe the new 3-car garage and huge 30'x50' Steelmaster building with loft, ideal for car buff, contractor, or ??? Excellent private well with two 5,000 gallon storage tanks. House needs some TLC but is currently being lived in and is functional. There is a separate guest house/studio too. Owner will provide full set of plans for new home along with soils and geo reports. Recently installed 200 amp electrical panel. Elegant entrance with electric gate with battery back up. This is a SUPER opportunity! Easy to show.
