About this House

UNFURNISHED | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Approx. 1,783 Sq. Ft. | Private 16-Acre Setting | No Pets

This is not a cookie-cutter rental and that is precisely its appeal.

Tucked behind a secure gate at the end of a quiet road, this extraordinary home sits within approximately 16 private acres surrounded by majestic redwoods. Custom built in the early 1970s by an artistic couple, the home reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of its original owners, with distinctive architectural details and artistic touches you simply won't find in a conventional house.

The setting feels wonderfully removed from the outside world, yet downtown Soquel, Capitola, beaches, shopping, restaurants and Highway 1 are all just minutes away.

This is a home for someone who values privacy, quiet, nature, character and originality someone who might begin the morning with coffee beneath the redwoods, work from a sun-filled room overlooking the forest, spend an afternoon enjoying the warmth of the expansive deck, and still be close enough to head into Capitola for dinner or an evening out.

If you're looking for pristine new construction and a predictable, cookie-cutter living experience, this probably isn't the house for you. But if you're drawn to homes with soul, history and a genuine connection to their surroundings, this is a rare opportunity to live somewhere truly special.

THE HOUSE
The approximately 1,783-square-foot main residence features two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms and unusually flexible living spaces.

At the heart of the home is an expansive living room surrounded by glass, creating the feeling of living among the redwoods. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, beautiful wood craftsmanship and abundant natural light give the room a warm, organic quality. A dramatic stone fireplace serves as an architectural focal point of the living room; please note that the fireplace is not operational.

Both bedrooms offer generous proportions and possibilities beyond a traditional bedroom layout. One is large enough to function as a bedroom with office space, or even as a second living/family room depending on your needs. The other includes an adjoining sunroom that could make an inspiring home office, reading room, creative studio or peaceful retreat.

The bathrooms are equally distinctive. One features a striking mosaic design, while the second offers a large bathtub with views toward the surrounding redwoods another reminder that nature is an integral part of this home.

Outside, an expansive, sun-drenched wood deck provides wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining. From the property, there are glimpses of the ocean over the tops of the redwood trees. Charming stone-lined paths wind through the grounds, and a custom circular stone fire pit creates an inviting place to spend an evening beneath the forest canopy.

The property includes a separate cottage that will remain unoccupied and is not included in the rental.

Above all, this is a house that invites a slower rhythm: open the doors, listen to the trees, enjoy the afternoon sun and appreciate the privacy of having remarkable natural surroundings just outside your windows.

No pets.

NEIGHBORHOOD / AREA
One of the most unusual aspects of this property is the combination of seclusion and accessibility. The home is located at the end of Fairview beyond a secure gate, creating a genuine sense of retreat while remaining only minutes from Soquel, Capitola and Highway 1.

Nearby Soquel Village has the relaxed character of a small California town, with local restaurants, cafes, shops and a collection of antique stores. Just beyond Soquel is Capitola-by-the-Sea, where Capitola Village brings together the beach, waterfront dining, cafes, boutiques and galleries in a colorful seaside setting.

Capitola Beach and the Esplanade offer an easy escape to the coast for a morning walk, an afternoon on the sand, surfing or an evening meal overlooking Monterey Bay. Santa Cruz and the greater Monterey Bay area are also within easy reach, providing additional restaurants, nightlife, recreation, shopping and cultural activities.

It is an uncommon balance: wake up surrounded by redwoods and silence, yet have beaches, groceries, restaurants, cafes, shopping and nightlife only minutes away.

For someone who loves nature but doesn't want to sacrifice convenience, this property offers the best of both worlds the feeling of a private redwood sanctuary with the energy and amenities of the Santa Cruz/Capitola coast close at hand.

This isn't simply a place to rent. It's a place for someone who will appreciate what makes it different.
