Where contemporary elegance meets mountain sophistication, this exceptional Boulder Creek retreat offers a rare blend of refined living and self-sufficient design. Perched above the tree line with ample sun exposure and a private redwood grove, the property commands fabulous views from its expansive 1,200 sq. ft. ipe ironwood deck — an entertainer's dream in every season.
Upstairs living areas feature soaring vaulted open-beam ceilings, central air, and a soapstone-lined woodstove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is a chef's showcase, appointed with granite counters, a fireclay sink, custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a Samsung induction range and Thermador hood, Miele dishwasher, stainless steel GE refrigerator, and an array of premium appliances. Formal dining and living rooms flow seamlessly to the deck, blurring the line between indoor comfort and natural splendor.
Virtually off-grid, the home features 42 owned solar panels, a battery backup system, and a 10kW automatic transfer generator — delivering energy independence without compromise. LED lighting throughout, on-demand hot water heaters, and spot and soaker irrigation keep utility costs remarkably low. Two pantries and numerous closets ensure generous storage at every turn.
The fully fenced 1+ acre lot is a private sanctuary, thoughtfully landscaped with native plants, 10 raised garden beds, and numerous fruit trees. A spa, large garden shed, chicken coop and run complete this self-sufficient haven.
All of this, just 2 miles from the heart of downtown Boulder Creek, 11 miles to Scotts Valley, and 15 miles to the beach, and 29 miles to San Jose — the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
