Extraordinary quiet, expansive coastal views, and two separate residences define this private Santa Cruz estate on more than six acres. The main residence offers over 5,100 square feet, balancing warmth, natural surroundings, and distinctive Japanese craftsmanship. Designed to embrace its elevated setting, the home captures sweeping coastline views while offering an uncommon sense of seclusion. A separate second residence provides flexibility for extended-stay guests, a caretaker, additional income, or a dedicated space apart from the main home. Privacy here is both natural and intentional. Significant investments in security and technology are thoughtfully integrated, while robust connectivity provides the infrastructure to operate a business, work remotely, or manage a demanding professional life from home. The result is a property that feels removed from the pace of everyday life without sacrificing connection. Just six minutes from Highway 1 via an easy, accessible road, the estate combines acreage, coastal views, security, connectivity, and extraordinary quiet. Set above Chaminade, it offers exceptional seclusion with convenient access to Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Close enough to stay connected. Secluded enough to retreat.
