A rare, ready-to-rebuild setting on Jamison Creek Road. Tucked along a peaceful, county-maintained road, this approx. 0.57 AC parcel offers a paved driveway, a surprisingly flat and usable building area, and room to garden, gather, and enjoy the outdoors; an uncommon combination in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The primary usable portion of the land sits elevated above the road, lending to a sense of privacy and separation while still feeling connected to a welcoming neighborhood. The former home was lost in the CZU fires and the property now presents an opportunity to create something new in this charming San Lorenzo Valley setting. This is a quiet, well-established stretch of Jamison Creek Road, known for its community feel and peaceful surroundings. Just around the corner, Boulder Creek Country Club provides both traditional golf and popular frisbee golf, while Big Basin Redwoods State Park is nearby, offering miles of trails, redwood groves, and year-round outdoor recreation. Despite its tranquil setting, the location remains commutable to both Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz, making it a compelling option for those seeking privacy, nature, and connection in equal measure. Buyer to verify all development potential and requirements with Santa Cruz County and applicable agencies.

Nestled beside a rustic bridge, this property offers a whimsical setting perfect for gathering with friends for a game of Pooh Sticks or simply enjoying the serenity of the river. This unique recreational parcel invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the redwoods in your own private retreat.

There is parking for two cars along the road, and a nearby turnout looks like it can accommodate three to four more. It may be possible to build stairs leading down to a level riverside area, spacious enough for lawn chairs and a picnic table where you will spend afternoons by the water. More than land, this is a retreat, a gathering, place, and a chance to experience the timeless beauty of the redwoods.

Sun-drenched and set along a quiet ridgetop, Lil Luna offers sweeping coastal-ridge vistas and a rare blend of beauty, peace, and possibility. This 4.73-acre haven rests where chaparral, mixed evergreens, and redwoods meet, creating a landscape filled with birdsong, fresh forest air, and a deep sense of calm. An established off-grid neighborhood surrounds the property, with potential PG&E hookups available if desired. A broad, inviting building site anchors the land, complemented by a seasonal creek below and strong cell service above. Previous plans envisioned a 1,395 sq. ft. home, though the setting is equally suited for a small or tiny-home retreat. Infrastructure highlights include a 1/2-interest shared well, prior approvals for solar and gas utilities (with full-solar option), septic, and the use of Faswall®a fire-resistant, non-toxic insulated block system known for dry-stack installation and exceptional energy performance. Access is easy via a newly repaved road (Aug 2023). Not a CZU fire-affected parcel, Lil Luna sits within a neighborhood where space, privacy, and a quiet respect for the land guide daily life, inviting a sense of renewal each time the light shifts and the ridge lines glow. Lil Luna awaits for the next steward ready to listen, tend, and begin again.
