Please read entire description. Beautiful 2 BR, 1.5 BA mountain home on 5 acres (about 1 acre usable), This off-grid home is powered by an efficient solar electric system with battery backup and generator. Originally built in 1990 without permits, the property has had a building code violation on record for over 20 years, which is not feasible to correct at this time due to the road improvements required by CalFire. Santa Cruz county has allowed occupancy since then. Seller has recently invested over $100,00 in upgrades. This property is available for a cash sale only, as bank financing is not an option. However, the seller may consider carrying with a 50% down payment or rent-to-own with $100,000 down payment. The road leading to the home is partially paved and dirt but passable year-round. Please respect the neighbors' privacy: Do not drive or walk down Canyon Vista without an appointment. This home can serve as your permanent residence or a peaceful weekend getaway. Enjoy the expansive view of the Demonstration Forest. Very quiet and peaceful. Schedule an appointment today to tour this tranquil retreat. 48 hour notice required to show. See virtual tour for road condition. Both this property and 860 Canyon Vista are shown at the same time.
