Located in the heart of Brookdale, near friendly neighbors, this spot once housed a 2-bedroom/1-bathroom, 850 sq ft home until the CZU fires of 2020. Public water and electricity are available at the street, with the existing septic system still in place. Positioned midway along Alta Via Road, near Hwy 9 and just 0.4 miles from Brookdale Lodge, convenience truly meets tranquility. Easy access to Silicon Valley via Bear Creek Rd. and Hwy 9. Housing density is remarkably low in this area. A gentle year-round "rill" adds to the serene ambiance. With five parcels and a brick stairway, this site offers peaceful seclusion and convenient accessibility for your potential building site. Contact your favorite agent regarding potential CZU pre-clearance process with the County. This would be a great property for gardening, or even to get your hands on a slice of Santa Cruz County for under 200k!
