Build your dream home on this beautiful Brookdale parcel, where many of the major improvements are already in place. The property now features public water, 120 sqft shed, an existing septic system, and a temporary power pole, making it an excellent opportunity to begin the next chapter. Set above the road for added privacy, the homesite enjoys peaceful views overlooking Clear Creek and is tucked into one of Brookdale's most charming neighborhoods, just a short walk from the iconic Brookdale Lodge.

The cleanup has been completed, and with key utilities already established, this parcel is well positioned for your custom mountain retreat.

Nestled beside a rustic bridge, this property offers a whimsical setting perfect for gathering with friends for a game of Pooh Sticks or simply enjoying the serenity of the river. This unique recreational parcel invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the redwoods in your own private retreat. While current building codes do not permit residential construction, the land is ideally suited for outdoor enjoyment. Imagine creating your own private park: a place to fish, wade in the river, or relax in the shade of towering trees. There is parking for two cars along the road, and a nearby turnout looks like it can accommodate three to four more. It may be possible to build stairs leading down to a level riverside area, spacious enough for lawn chairs and a picnic table where you will spend afternoons by the water. More than land, this is a retreat, a gathering, place, and a chance to experience the timeless beauty of the redwoods.

Discover a rare opportunity to build your vision in one of Brookdales most magical settings, a serene creekside parcel surrounded by towering redwoods and rich history. This 0.27-acre property once held a 2,400 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a 900 sq. ft. garage, built in 1907 and lost in the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire. Clear Creek runs directly through the land, just like it famously flows through the historic dining hall of the Brookdale Lodge! The site offers a captivating and truly one-of-a-kind backdrop for a future home or retreat. Utilities including water, electricity, and natural gas already connected. This is a fantastic head start for rebuilding. Many fire-affected properties in the area have pursued streamlined recovery permitting, and this parcel may offer similar opportunities. Buyers are encouraged to explore buildability and permitting options directly with Santa Cruz County Planning during their due diligence. Whether you are restoring a historic footprint or envisioning something entirely new, this property offers peaceful surroundings, historic character, and rare potential all just moments from Ben Lomond's quaint town center, local markets, coffee shops, hiking trails, and coastal access.
