Own a piece of Aptos and Santa Cruz County history. Originally part of the broader Castro Rancho Aptos granted in 1833, the Castro family holdings passed in the 1870s to Claus Spreckels, the San Francisco sugar magnate who purchased the majority of Rancho Aptos beginning in 1872. In 1944, the property was acquired by the current family. The main residence reflects the Storybook (or Provincial Revival) cottage idiom that flourished in Northern California from the late 1920s into the 1930shighlighted by its steeply pitched, irregular gable roofline and original sculptural, monogrammed brick chimneys, a hallmark of the style. Built entirely of local redwood milled from the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountain forests that fueled the region's early lumber boom, the home is set among pastures and second-growth redwoods that evoke its ranching heritage. This large, elegant residence includes 2 additional units and sits on a spacious 179 acres, featuring approximately 70 acres of grasslands with the balance in a protected Timber Preserve.

Two beautiful separate homes, and a studio above the 3 car garage, are set on this sun-drenched 25-acre property, offering a rare blend of privacy, space, and natural beauty. The main residence features a bright, open concept layout with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, filled with natural light and a warm, welcoming feel. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the property, the charming A-frame ADU includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath - perfect for extended family or immediate rental income. Each home has its own septic system and separate propane tanks as well. Unlike many mountain properties, this remarkable setting enjoys sunshine and expansive usable land, creating a bright, open environment that's both peaceful and inviting.

A rare combination of privacy, convenience, and the Santa Cruz lifestyle.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase and build your custom dream home on one of the few available ocean front lots on the Monterey Bay. Part of the private, gated community of Potbelly Beach in Aptos, Ca. This property currently includes a family beach cabin built in 1959. The small but sturdy 3 bedroom, 1 bath cabin flows out to a deck that is almost as large as the house itself. Owned by the same family for more than 65 years, its time for a new family and a new house to take advantage of all the ocean front position has to offer: the sound of the waves, the sea lions who accompany you on your morning walk, the sunset, and evening gatherings you might have on the deck. The cabin is part of a 17 member association that shares maintenance of the beach revetment, road and additional acreage on the bluff above. The property is gated with a caretaker. And while you feel a world away, you are close to Highway 1 and the conveniences of Aptos and Capitola. Here is a great venue for entertaining multiple generations of family and friends, while still giving you an opportunity to expand or custom build your year-around dream home in the future if you so desire.
