About This Home

As of March 2026

Welcome Home to the Haven in the Redwoods! Set above the fog line and nestled among the canopy of the lush redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this charming three-bedroom, two-bath home offers peaceful living on a sunlit hillside overlooking the forest. Its an ideal home for those who value serenity, privacy, and treehouse views. Step inside to find skylights in each room, new hardwood floors throughout, two remodeled full bathrooms, and an abundance of natural light. Start your days on the deck with a cup of coffee, soak in the quiet beauty of the redwoods, breath in the clean pine air, before easing down to the grocery store not five miles away. This move-in ready home is well cared for, with a recently refreshed kitchen with granite countertops, newer appliances, and lots of cupboards. The east-facing primary bedroom features an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom features a skylight, and the flexible third bedroom is perfect for a home office or studio with full morning sun. Parking is easy with a two-car driveway plus an additional pull-out at road level for guests or deliveries. Well suited as a full-time residence or an easy lock-and-leave retreat, this home offers a rare opportunity for those seeking quiet, privacy, light, and simplicity in a redwood setting.
