No mystery here—just pure value and possibility. Tucked behind a private gate amid the majestic redwoods of Happy Valley, this mountain haven delivers the best of both worlds: serene privacy yet only about 10 minutes from midtown Santa Cruz shopping and dining, and 15 minutes from the beach.

The versatile property centers on a light-filled 2-bedroom, 1-bath main home plus a studio 1-bath ADU, ideal for rental income, a work-from-home setup, multi-generational living, or guest quarters. Step onto the sun-drenched entry deck and into an open living room where skylights and dual-pane windows flood the space with natural light. The flow continues into an updated kitchen with custom concrete counters and a bright dining area framed by a wall of windows that deliver true treehouse vibes. Updated bathrooms and bedrooms are move-in ready, while decks surrounding the home make indoor-outdoor living effortless.

Downstairs, an oversized 2-car garage connects to the attached guest unit/ADU. A flexible bonus room (perfect as an office, workout space, art studio, or she-shed) and an outdoor soaking tub complete the package. Wander the 2.53-acre grounds under towering redwoods or simply soak up the sunshine on your decks.

Your private redwood retreat is calling—come experience the lifestyle for yourself.
