About this property
Exclusive Modern Retreat- The Johanna House
Summary:
Permit number 111368
1.4 miles to the beach yet privately perched on a 4 acre mountaintop in arguably the most exclusive neighborhood in all of Santa Cruz. This neighborhood is close to it all sitting on the boarder of capitola, soquel and aptos while also feeling removed from it all. The beach, mountain bike trails, great restaurants & shopping all within a mile and a half distance while feeling like you are in the middle of the Santa Cruz forest. Go tackle your adventure then come back home to rest and relax.

About the host
Your host
Mike and Monica were married in 2008 and are always on the move. From Mike's professional career as an athlete, to their multiple business'...the two rarely spend more than a week in any one location. They have been very fortunate to travel the country and travel the world, where they have found many inspirations for their vacation home in Santa Cruz, Ca.
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love all the activities, weather and scenery Santa Cruz has to offer. We absolutely love going to the beach. The only thing we don’t like about the beach is the summertime fog that comes and goes. We loved this house because it put us 1.4 miles from the beach but out of the fog patterns so that we can enjoy the beach when its sunny and beautiful but not get stuck at a house covered in fog. The other limiting factor with most the homes near the beach that we looked at was the lack of space. With 4 acres, tons of parking, 2 roads, huge patios, decks and lawns…it provides us with a place to entertain our friends and family without feeling smothered by the next door neighbors or annoyed with the constant flow of traffic to and from the beach. Another thing we loved was the safety, privacy and exclusiveness of the neighborhood. An added benefit to the house that we realized after we moved in was that it was right in the center of all three Santa Cruz villages.
What makes this property unique
Privacy, luxury, space, views 1.4 miles to the beach less than 3 miles to any of the villages (Capitola village, Aptos village, Soquel village) exclusive neighborhood feeling of getting away while still being conveniently close to everything.
