495 Browns Valley Rd, Watsonville, CA
This property has two homes with established tenants who will happily stay if desired. The land varies from flat, sunny, gently sloping, redwood groves, apple orchards, creek settings, shaded forested areas, with elevations over 400 sq ft which is in the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowing appellation. There are some very special locations on this property and it has a lot of potential for the right buyer.
Let's start with the Main house. When you first drive into the property and turn left, you will find yourself at the main home. When you enter the home, you are in the large sunroom. Passing through this room, the living room is to the left, the dining room is straight ahead and the kitchen is to the right. There are bedrooms beyond the main living area as well as one more bedroom (or family room) past the kitchen and laundry room. Behind the house is a large sweeping deck (with a small garden area tucked behind a fence behind the deck. Past the deck is a large field that leads to Browns Creek. On the other side of this creek is a large gently sloping field in full sun.
The second home is smaller and tucked away on the right side of the entrance to Browns Valley Rd. You follow the road across a small bridge and the home is on the left. There is a large garden with raised beds, several citrus trees, and a large mature persimmon tree on the other side of the garden. This home is smaller with three bedrooms, one bath, a laundry room, an entry room, and a living room that leads to a deck overlooking a Redwood grove. The two homes are separated to provide privacy to both homes.
The smaller home has a number of outbuildings including a workshop, storage, and a very large chicken coop. There is also an apple orchard near the smaller home. The orchard leads down to the creek which is shaded with large trees, a grove of redwood trees, and the sound of the creek. There are wild turkeys that walk through the orchard and make a soft purring sound as they pass through.
One of the larger planting areas is on the far side of the creek. It is fenced and secure and has proximity to water and is in full sun. There is also a natural spring and the property is served by Watsonville City water. The current owner has done a lot of work with the Planning Dept and we can discuss his efforts.
Nearby schools include Aptos High School, Aptos Junior High School, and Bradley Elementary School. Any availability at these schools should be verified to ensure there is room for your students.
Call me and let's talk about the possibilities for this property. I have financing options if you care to discuss making a purchase with financing. Seller will consider seller financing as well.
