Description

Wake up to towering redwoods, shimmering bay views, and quiet you can actually hear. Tucked in Santa Cruz County's Happy Valley, this 3.6-acre retreat pairs everyday convenience with a true mountain-meets-coast lifestyle. You're in the Happy Valley Elementary one-school district, small, close-knit, and uniquely community-focused, while still moments from town. Weekends write themselves: hike the old-growth groves at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, then be on the sand or downtown Santa Cruz in minutes. When you need errands (or a movie and dinner), Scotts Valley has easy shopping, groceries, and the local cinema just 5 minutes away. Commuters and day-trippers will appreciate direct access toward Santa Cruz and Highway 17 via Branciforte Drive (one of the primary routes serving the Happy Valley area) placing Los Gatos and coastal workplaces within straightforward reach. Inside, nearly 2,000 sq ft of sun-splashed living blends open-beam ceilings, skylights, and a modern kitchen that opens to view decks, perfect for morning coffee above the trees or easy entertaining at sunset. With sun and privacy galore, plus a flexible space for home office or media, this is a home that lives like a sanctuary without giving up access to everything you love about Santa Cruz living.
