About this property
Ls1 Alpine Zen w/pool, sauna and hot tub
Welcome to our peaceful zen retreat nestled in the heart of nature, just minutes away from the beautiful Santa Cruz Beaches & Parks and equally close to Scotts Valley. Located on a gated road, this spacious home is at the top of the parcel, surrounded by majestic mountains and redwood views. Indulge yourself in the rejuvenating sauna or immerse in the soothing waters of the hot tub or swimming pool. This serene getaway is the perfect place to disconnect from the busy world or connect to it and work remotely.
The bright new kitchen features a breakfast bar with s/s appliances. The living room has a fireplace and a slider to a sun-drenched BBQ deck. The dining room has big picture windows that showcase rich-colored sunsets and opens to a second deck tucked in a redwood grove. There are two spacious master suites upstairs, one with a private balcony overlooking the front garden. The game room downstairs features a Peloton bike, foosball table, and a separate access to the lower deck. Outdoor sitting area with a fireplace overlooks the pool and stunning views of Santa Cruz mountains.
Permit number 231053.
