For decades, this 31-acre property has been a cherished recreational escape for one family, now it is ready for its next chapter. Located along scenic Deer Creek Road, the land offers a mix of sunny ridge tops, shady forest, and serene creek frontage. Per the owner, the property starts before the second bridge and both Deer Creek and Bear Creek flow on the property and typically run year round. Recently, the owner had the brush cleared along the old driveway leading to the family's longtime trailer site. The trailer remains but is in poor condition, awaiting either restoration or removal. Turnouts along the road provide convenient parking, with trails and old roads leading up to several flat, sunlit areas perfect for picnics, camping, or future projects. The property's TP (Timber Production) zoning offers significant tax savings approximately one-tenth of the standard 1.2% property tax rate making it an attractive investment for timber management or long-term ownership. Whether you are seeking a weekend getaway, a private camping spot, or a large tract of timberland with mountain views, this rare offering combines seclusion, natural beauty, and potential.

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.
