Exceptional Bonny Doon retreat featuring two spacious homes connected by a pool and deck, nestled among the redwoods on over 1.6 acres. The 3,829 sq ft main home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, high ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive windows framing the redwoods. The chefs kitchen with a large island opens to a light-filled living and dining room with a river-rock fireplace. A ground-floor family room with woodstove connects to a sunroom overlooking the pool, while the primary suite opens to a private deck. A crows nest room with its own sundeck offers additional versatile space. The separate 1,671 sq ft guest house features 2 bedrooms plus an office, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and treehouse views. Natural stone terraces, gardens, a custom chicken coop, goldfish pond, and room to expand the garden or orchard enhance the outdoor setting. Carport and lower driveway provide additional parking. Surrounded by nature yet just minutes from UCSC, downtown Santa Cruz, and North Coast surf, this property offers a peaceful retreat with flexibility for multigenerational living and more.
