Still only $274,900! A blank canvas awaits you on this 2.7+ acre parcel. The home was lost in the CZU fires, as were many of the neighbors' homes.

Bonny Doon was hit hard by the CZU Fires of 2020, but is rising from the ashes due to the amazing folks who call it home. Come join this vibrant and energetic community by building your dream home here! Want privacy? This is the place. Enjoy warming sun on parts of the parcel, and the cool shade of your own redwoods. Private well is VERY productive. A true paradise found. Looking for a family compound or to start a mountain community of your own? This could be your golden opportunity!
