Built in 2008, this property is 16 years old, but its condition, features, and high-end finishes present as virtually new. The gourmet kitchen boasts professional-grade stainless steel appliances (Wolf range, built-in oven, large hood, built-in refrigerator), granite countertops, and custom wood cabinetry, all appearing in pristine condition. Hardwood floors throughout are immaculate, and the overall 'modern Craftsman' style is timeless and impeccably maintained. The property shows no signs of wear and tear or deferred maintenance, and includes luxury amenities like a pristine pool, outdoor kitchen, and a cabana/ADU, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria of components being 'virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Private Estate: Situated on nearly 5 private, picturesque acres with a gated entrance, offering unparalleled privacy and exclusivity.
Luxurious Modern Craftsman Home: A spacious 4,700 SqFt modern Craftsman-style home featuring 5 beds, 3.5 baths, open-concept living, gourmet kitchen, and soaring ceilings.
Resort-Style Outdoor Amenities: Extensive outdoor spaces include a pristine pool, 423 SqFt cabana/ADU, outdoor kitchen, stone fireplace, hot tub, and lush lawn, ideal for entertaining.
Advanced Self-Sufficiency Systems: Equipped with a whole-home automatic commercial generator and a well with a 10k-gallon water storage system, promoting a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Desirable Santa Cruz Location: Offers a perfect balance of privacy and convenience, located near Santa Cruz's world-class beaches, hiking trails, shopping, and dining.

Cons

High Price Point: The $4.5 million list price positions it in a very exclusive market segment, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Significant Ongoing Maintenance: The large acreage and extensive luxury amenities (pool, cabana, generator, well) will likely incur substantial ongoing maintenance costs and effort.
Potential for Adjacent Property Influence: The mention of a separately offered 55-acre vineyard/equestrian facility next door could introduce future development or activity that impacts the current property's tranquility, or implies a higher total investment for buyers seeking a larger, integrated estate.
