Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in. This is one of them.

Quiet dead-end street. Fully reimagined open-concept layout. A kitchen built for real life. Butcher block island, professional-grade range, herringbone tile, farmhouse sink. The details are everywhere if you know where to look.
Fully fenced yard. Freshly poured patio. Mature landscaping. Ready for dogs, garden beds, or a future fire pit.

Minutes from Henry Cowell Redwoods, Sky Park, Roaring Camp, and Big Basin. Hiking trails practically start at your front door. And the beach? Close enough to make it a Tuesday afternoon decision.

This is the Central Coast life. And it starts at 122 Dunn Lane, Scotts Valley, CA 95066.

Some homes have a view. This one has a whole life waiting for you.

129 Santa Cruz Ave in Aptos just hit the market and it is everything. Perched in the heart of Seacliff, this fully renovated 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is the kind of place that makes you forget you were ever looking anywhere else. Ocean views. Vaulted ceilings. And a lifestyle that honestly sells itself.

The upstairs living room opens to a 460 square foot ocean-view deck through 12 foot Lanai folding glass doors. You just slide them back and suddenly the Pacific is your living room. Morning coffee up there hits different. So does sunset happy hour at the wet bar right off the deck.

Downstairs the custom kitchen means business. Wolf range. Sub-Zero refrigerators. A 10 foot quartz island that anchors the whole space and makes cooking feel like the best part of the day. This kitchen was built for people who actually use it.
Step outside and there is a 7-person whirlpool bath waiting in the backyard. Three utility buildings for all the gear that comes with living this close to the coast. And solar plus a whole home water purification system means this place runs as beautifully as it looks.

Now talk about location. Seacliff State Beach is minutes away. Walk to the sand, the surf, and the iconic cement ship. Rio Del Mar and Aptos Village are right there for morning pastries, dinner out, and everything in between. The Aptos lifestyle is real and this address puts you right in the middle of it.

The redwoods part. A private knoll appears. And suddenly you understand why people never want to leave.

This is 899 Calabasas Rd, Watsonville, and it sits at the end of a quiet road on its own oak-studded meadow with the surf just minutes away. This is Santa Cruz County real estate at its most rare.

Custom Thacher and Thompson construction. Cathedral windows that flood the home with light. Woodwork that feels like it grew here. A premium kitchen range that actually makes you want to cook.

Two ensuite bedrooms. A pool and sauna for long summer afternoons. Gardens with raised beds you will genuinely use. And a 485 sq. ft. guest house with heated bathroom floors waiting for the people you love most.

If you have been searching real estate along the Monterey Bay, this is the one that makes you stop scrolling.

Step off the property and hidden hiking and horse trails wind through the hills. Aptos, Manresa Beach, Nisene Marks, Soquel Demo Forest, and the Corralitos Wine Trail are all within reach. Surfing, mountain biking, wine, live music. Everything, somehow, still close.
The redwoods. The knoll. The quiet.

You can have it all.

Price Update!! 🚨��The sea, once it casts it’s spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” 🌊

There aren’t many places where your morning routine includes checking for dolphins. Pelicans glide down the coastline, sea lions pop up offshore & on the right day you can spot clean surf lines before your coffee cools. Inside, the house has a clean, modern feel that lets the ocean do most of the talking.

The kitchen & living room open together toward the water, so most of life ends up happening right there, cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or just watching the horizon change colors as the sun drops. Big windows keep the ocean in view no matter where you’re sitting & radiant heat beneath the engineered hardwood floors keeps everything comfortable, even on those cooler coastal days.

Out back, the yard was designed to actually be used. Turf, fencing & a fire pit make it the natural gathering place once the sun goes down & the sound of the waves carry up the bluff. Life here includes riding bikes along East Cliff, strolling down to the beach with a board under your arm, coffee nearby & evenings at the neighborhood park. And for the practical side of oceanfront living, the home shares a maintained seawall with Coastal Commission approval for ongoing upkeep.

It’s the kind of place people come to unplug… & quietly end up staying for decades.

A front-row seat to a lifetime of inspiration

Nestled beyond the redwoods, on a private knoll at the end of a quiet road, this custom Thatcher & Thompson home delivers something increasingly hard to find, the feeling of being on your own ranch, with an open oak studded meadow stretching around you, with the surf just minutes away.

Light floods through the cathedral windows generously, and the custom woodwork connects you to the beautiful natural setting.

The kitchen keeps pace with a premium range that makes cooking here a genuine pleasure. Two ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility.

Step outside and the property opens up into something special. A pool and sauna set the tone for long summer afternoons.

The gardens are a gardener’s dream, with raised beds bursting with possibility and the kind of setup where you actually use what you grow.

For friends and family, a 485 sq. ft. single level guest house, complete with heated bathroom floors, awaits.

Just beyond the property, hidden hiking and horse trails wind through the nearby hills. Aptos, Manresa Beach, Soquel Demo Forest, Nisene Marks and the Corralitos Wine Trail provide ample fun, from surfing, hiking, world class mountain biking to music and entertainment.

The redwoods, the knoll, the quiet. And somehow, still close to everything.You can have it all!

You’ll stop mid-sentence the first time you see the bay from inside. That’s not a selling point, that’s just what happens. Ear to ear ocean views, second row back from the bluff on one of Aptos’ quietest streets.

The home was built to make the most of where it sits, with oversized windows that bring the water into the room and two mostly private decks where you can sit in a spa and watch the sun do whatever it wants.

Inside, a bonus room with a fireplace gives the home a warmth that the views alone can’t account for. The kitchen has Cambria quartz countertops and new appliances. The two-car garage has epoxy floors and a skylight that makes it genuinely nice to walk into.

There’s a gated front entry, updated landscaping, and a separate entrance to the downstairs bedroom, bath, and family room that makes the layout work beautifully for guests or family who want their own space.

Close to Rio Del Mar Beach, Seascape Golf Club, and the kind of neighborhood spots you end up at more often then you planned: Pixie Deli, Cat & Cloud, Venus, Akira Sushi.

And then there’s that view. Wire-free, unobstructed views from the shores of Rio Del Mar to East Cliff and everything in between.
