Description

"I may never find words beautiful enough to describe the lifestyle this house has provided for me, but I hope to spend the rest of my life enjoying the lifestyle it provides for me." - Ryan M. Within a mile and a half of the ocean and on the edge of Nisene Marks State Forest, Mesa Drive is one of the best-undiscovered neighborhoods in Aptos. To find a home of this magnitude that is primarily single level with scenic views, sun, and privacy is difficult. A few of the highlights include tons of natural light, spacious rooms, a grassy yard, mature fruit trees & gardens, a picturesque pool, and it is quite close to all of Aptos amenities. The sun's warmth mixed with cool ocean air; you will be telling your Realtor to "write it up!"
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "I use the Highway which is close to my neighborhood. Outside of that, the county bus system is the only public transit. The commute traffic is bad. Aptos is bikeable around the highway but there are many tight roads and can be hilly. "

    "The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
