The Highland Retreat; Sunlit, Gated & Country Living Privacy! Every once in a while, a property gets the land and privacy exactly right. The turnkey Highland Retreat pairs sky-lit interiors, a bright entertaining space, and a unique bathroom designed by Dong Sum Kim with a private, gated approach on a vast usable lot; quiet, intentional, and scaled for an upsized family. Arrive via a fresh asphalt driveway; proper grading supports water and irrigation management with low upkeep. Skylights bathe main living areas in soft daylight while the hilltop perch captures breezes, treetop views, and star-filled skies. Surrounded by mature trees and birdsong, the setting offers a peaceful, treehouse-like retreat from city life. Car lovers will enjoy an attached 24x20 two-car garage plus a detached 24x24 carport lift workspace with extra parking (car lift included), lower barn accessed from the lower point of the lot, and an enclosed open span steel lower barn (24x35) with western facade. The setting is quiet and private with open sky, mature trees, and room to garden, work, and park. Kirby Park offers birdwatching and paddling nearby, with Elkhorn Slough providing wildlife and kayak access within a short drive of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel beaches.
