At the crest of the building pad, nearly sixty acres of Santa Cruz Mountains redwood forest fall away in every direction, framed by ridgelines that fade from green to blue with distance. The land is already prepared: a level, cleared pad, a privately owned pump house and water storage tanks fed by a shared well, a weather station, and an electrical transformer, all in place before a single permit is pulled. The approach climbs a private driveway from pavement to packed gravel, lined with retaining walls and canopied by redwood and Douglas fir draped in lace lichen. The shops and restaurants of Aptos Village are under ten minutes away. The quiet, once the gate closes behind it, is complete. This is not a finished home. It is the rarer commodity in the Santa Cruz Mountains: usable scale, commanding views, and prepared infrastructure on the same parcel, where most comparable land offers only one of the three. Anchored by mountain views and a short run to Aptos Village, the lot represents a rare foundation for a forest retreat within reach of the Bay. Learn more at: https://2320newell.com
