900 Mesa Grande Road

Hidden within The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, this rare property feels like a secret retreat in the redwoods, private, quiet, and surrounded by history. Just a short drive from Aptos Village and the coast, it offers that hard-to-find balance between total escape and everyday convenience. Very few homes exist inside this 10,000-acre preserve, and being part of this small community means living with nature as your closest neighbor. The land itself tells a story stretching back to Californias beginnings. Once part of the Rancho Soquel land grants, it later became a center for the Loma Prieta Lumber Companys bustling operations in the late 1800s. Today, traces of that era still weave through the forests trails and canyons, reminders of the areas enduring past and renewal. The cabin needs vision and work, but the setting is extraordinary. Drive through a charming neighborhood and end up in your own wooded world, where filtered light moves through the redwoods and the air feels untouched. Step outside to explore miles of trails or simply take in the stillness that surrounds you. This is your chance to restore a piece of California history and make it your own sanctuary inside one of its most beautiful parks.
