Description

Santa Cruz Mountains opportunity for the buyer who can work with a county process. This 600 sq ft cottage carries an active Unsafe to Occupy notice posted by Santa Cruz County in 1998 following a landslide. Utilities disconnected at that time. Structure remains standing interior in livable condition but no permits or geologic reports have ever been filed. Parcel currently classified as unbuildable lot with a recorded Notice of Geologic Hazard on title. Cleared and livable homes in this area trade at $350K$400K+. The path to that value runs through a geotechnical assessment and Santa Cruz County's hazard clearance process. Prior occupant was a legal resident before 1998, supporting a grandfathering argument. Property sold strictly as-is. Buyer assumes all due diligence. Big Basin Redwoods at your doorstep. Strong rental demand throughout the San Lorenzo Valley corridor. This is the deal a patient, resourceful buyer finds once.
