Don't be shy! This flat 6.6 acre parcel on the coveted lower Bonny Doon Rd. loop has tremendous potential to become an heirloom estate. The house is a one story ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 kitchens. This parcel, adjacent to a larger 23 acre ag parcel also listed for sale, served as the Shumei Santa Cruz farm management headquarters for over a decade. The managers family lived in the house. The farm staff lived in rental properties throughout Bonny Doon, while the barn served to pack and sort the crops and to maintain the farm equipment. There is a shower and two half baths attached to the barn for the use of the farm staff. Several redwood faerie rings are located around the parcel, some used for social and/or instructional gatherings. Zoned RA for residential agriculture which allows horses, farm activities, and livestock (with some limits). A full collection of reports, inspections and disclosures are available for your review. Both parcels must be bought together.
