This home is a great find for anyone looking for privacy and usable land in the Los Gatos Mountains. It's rare to get a flat lot in this area, which makes the outdoor space so much more functional and enjoyable. The setting feels peaceful and...
private, yet you're still within a short drive to downtown Los Gatos, offering the best of both worlds.
