Legacy Soquel Hills Retreat with Flat Land, Soquel Creek, Privacy, and Rare Close-to-Town Convenience Imagine waking up in the Soquel Hills, stepping outside, and hearing Soquel Creek flowing behind your home while morning light stretches across the flat, usable grounds. Surrounded by mature trees and forest views, the setting feels private, peaceful, and wonderfully removed; a place where wildlife, star-filled skies, and the quiet beauty of nature become part of everyday life. In an area where steep terrain is common, the flat land is a rare and meaningful quality, offering space to garden, entertain, host gatherings with ample guest parking, or simply enjoy the freedom of open space. Held in the same family for nearly 60 years, it carries the feeling of a true legacy property; the kind of unique offering that may only become available once in a lifetime. Yet despite its peaceful setting, it remains remarkably convenient. Located across the street from the historic Casalegnos site and five minutes from Soquel Village, the home offers easy access to shops and essentials. Its central location also provides access to Highway 17, Santa Cruz beaches, Silicon Valley, and Monterey County, creating a lifestyle that feels serene, sunny, and private without sacrificing accessibility.
