1.18 acres in the redwoods at the top of Blue Ridge Dr, a paved road minutes from downtown Boulder Creek. Over an acre of green, mature forest with redwood groves, ferns and filtered sun. There is a level clearing among the trees, and two parking spots at the road. Electricity, water and a septic system are available. This is your private redwood park: trees to walk under, a clearing to sit in, quiet, with your name on the deed. Summer fog drifts through the canopy in the mornings, and the light shifts through the trees all day. Walk the hillside, picnic in the clearing, photograph the groves, or sit still until the forest forgets you are there. This property includes five lots from the original Redwood Grove map, the old survey that gave this neighborhood its name, folded into one parcel. City families started buying summer land in these mountains more than a century ago, and this is the ground they came for. Down the road, the San Lorenzo River runs through town, more than 80 miles of trails wind through Big Basin, and the beaches of Santa Cruz are about half an hour away. Boulder Creek has been the gateway to Big Basin, California's first state park, since 1902.
