Within very short distances you will find a farm in the city, spectacular views while perched on a bluff, to being hidden away in the redwoods, all worlds apart but you can walk from one to the other.
Decided to take a look at not only the current properties for sale today but see everything up close and personal from the seat of my bike.
The first week of Spring, a chill in the air, bright clear blue skies, perfect. I head out, down the hill past trees budding, daffodils dancing and a soft fragrance of wisteria and cut grass. What's not to like about Santa Cruz???
My first stop in Soquel, an Eco-home in a great spot in fog free Soquel with a great community feel, that even had a chicken coop, all it was missing was the Bee hive and it would be self contained. Light, bright and built with a lot of thought. Even a vacant lot nearby, ready to build just what you want with all the Eco-friendly products to choose from. Get creative!
I push off feeling I have just left a little Oasis, on to my next stop. Ahhh, I get drawn into Gayle's, literally the smell yanked me off my bike, for a tasty temptation. The reason I am on my bike in the first place - burn fat not fuel!!
Ok, this careen through the Village and up the hill to Opal Cliffs will cancel the guilt. This classic area unfolds some of the charming cliff hugging homes that have enjoyed forever views for decades and voila, a well designed very comfortable re-do has enticed me in. Well worth the stop and water break with a peak of the ocean from the living rooms' raised viewing perch!! Charming!
Along East Cliff, past O'Neill's ramshackle cliff hugger, the surf dotted with 'Surfers', the cliffs with 'strollers', the beaches with 'sunners', I peddle along weaving through the area and remembering my earlier days --- doing the very same thing!! Still the low key and accessible local of yesterday, just being 'Gentrified'.
Near my favorite veggie stand, is a show stopper, Beach retreat. Custom everything, chiseled kitchen counter, European stainless appliances, Nano folding french doors, fire pits surrounded by custom seating all ensconced down 16th Ave. Plenty of private space, open flowing entertaining area and a short stroll to Sunny Cove, one of the hidden treasures along East Cliff.
This is just a partial view of my trip, I have enjoyed many more like it and many more secreted areas to revel. Just Call Me. I love helping people "Live the Life they Love" and discovering the hidden treasures.
