An extensive, well maintained road system provides access to all points of the improved portion of the ranch, while riding and hiking trails let you explore the more natural and peaceful settings. All utilities at the property run underground, leaving the majestic beauty of the redwood studded meadows unscathed by power lines. Beyond the idea of equestrian center, the property is ripe for a multitude of other uses allowed by the zoning and the access to a public road. These uses could include an outdoor education center, permaculture community, or residential estate. The capacity of the property also affords opportunities for large events, such as the annual Bonny Doon Art and Wine Festival. An approved Timber Harvest Plan will yield approximately 1.4 million board feet of Redwood timber, which is ready to harvest now.
The ideal location of this magnificent property is only a short drive to Pacific coast beaches and the city of Santa Cruz, while only about 70 miles to San Francisco. Multiple State Parks and National Preserves are also in close proximity. Picturesque Bonny Doon is a lush green paradise with an exceptionally mild climate, surrounded by natural beauty. To fully appreciate this property, it must be experienced. Call now for a private viewing!
