Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1977, this property is 47 years old and exhibits a rustic charm with original or period-appropriate finishes. While the home appears well-maintained and major components are functional, the kitchens and bathrooms are significantly outdated in style and features. The main house kitchen has older wood cabinets and appliances, and the main bathroom features a highly specific, abstract mosaic tile design that would likely require a full renovation for modern appeal. The guest cottage kitchen is very basic and also needs a complete overhaul. The flooring throughout shows signs of age. The property is livable and does not show signs of structural or safety defects that would classify it as 'Poor', but it requires more than minor cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Private Retreat: A rare 16-acre private property nestled in majestic redwoods, offering unparalleled tranquility and space, ideal for those seeking an escape from urban life.
Versatile Multiple Structures: Includes a main 3-bed, 2-bath residence and a separate 484 sq ft 1-bed, 1-bath guest cottage, providing flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or a dedicated home office.
Unique Natural & Architectural Charm: The property boasts timeless wood craftsmanship, vaulted ceilings with skylights, a stone fireplace, and outdoor features like stone-lined paths and a custom fire pit, creating a harmonious blend with nature.
Desirable Location Balance: Strategically located minutes from downtown Soquel and Capitola's beaches, offering convenient access to amenities while maintaining a secluded, 'worlds away from the hustle' feel.
High Potential & Investment Opportunity: Described as a 'high-value, high-potential property' suitable for various uses, from a weekend escape to a full-time residence or a lucrative investment.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential Updates: Built in 1977, the main residence is nearly 50 years old, which may imply a need for significant updates to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or interior finishes to meet modern buyer expectations.
Extensive Land Maintenance: The expansive 16-acre lot, particularly with a redwood forest, will require substantial ongoing maintenance for landscaping, fire safety, and general upkeep, which could be a significant commitment for owners.
Modest Main House Square Footage: While the property includes a guest cottage, the main residence's 1,783 sq ft might be considered modest for a property listed at $2.833 million, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking a larger primary home.
