Seize The Rare Opportunit­y to own Pristine California Coast Property Like No Other

- By Monica Lander

Envision the possibilit­ies with this extraordin­ary opportunit­y to own a finite piece of the California coastline on the market for the first time in three generation­s.

Simply breathtaki­ng is the picture postcard-worthy views of the level and lush, fertile farmland jutting out to the bluffs that meets the blue waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing to the shore below.

Very rarely and, quite possibly, only once in your lifetime will you see a property of this magnitude and magnificen­ce come on the market.

Almost 214 acres of protected land zoned for agricultur­al use with an equestrian facility and multiple residences, barn, and outbuildin­gs hug the pristine coastline. Allow this exceptiona­l property to inspire and stimulate the senses.

The property consists of four parcels from just over four acres to almost 154 acres at 451 Coast Road, Santa Cruz on Highway 1, Cabrillo Highway between downtown Santa Cruz and Wilder Ranch State Park.

Seize the rare opportunit­y to continue a commercial Brussels sprout farming operation or dream big and envision a bounty of crops, including vineyards gracing the level land. The Santa Cruz coast offers a Mediterran­ean climate with warm fall days. Take advantage of the ideal environmen­t to grow yearround crops or even consider a transition to an organic operation.

Three homes currently on the property are ideal for those working the land with additional outbuildin­gs and a packing shed. Two of the three wells are being used.

Horse lovers will fall in love with the existing equestrian facilities, including a boarding operation, a large main barn, stables, and two riding arenas. Hop on more than 30 miles of equestrian trails at the adjacent Wilder Ranch State Park. The land offers plenty of room to expand the boarding business or even create a coveted destinatio­n for hosted equestrian events.

Less than three and a half miles from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and downtown Santa Cruz, the property is also only an hour from Silicon Valley.

Ocean Cliff Ranch transports you to a fabulous sanctuary where the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun, the scent of the ocean, and the unrivaled beauty are sure to feed the spirit and rejuvenate the soul.

Santa Cruz County offers the ideal location along the California coast with convenient access into Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Monterey.

Relish a lifestyle that many dream of but only a few can attain and create your unique experience at Ocean Cliff Ranch.

Price: $30,000,000
