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 & warm entertaining space, the most 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 with ease via a fresh asphalt driveway; proper grading supports water/irrigation management, and low upkeep. Skylights bathe the main living areas in soft daylight, while the hilltop perch catches breezes, treetop views, and star-filled night skies. Car lovers will enjoy an attached 24'x32' two-car garage plus a detached carport lift automotive workspace (car lift included) & lower barn accessed from the lower point of the lot. The setting is quiet and private, with open sky, mature trees, and room to garden, work, and park. Weekend plans are simple: Kirby Park for birdwatching and paddling, Elkhorn Slough for wildlife and kayak access, and convenient proximity to the Moss Landing shooting range; all within a reasonable drive of Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel beaches and Watsonville conveniences. If you're after bright interior and real privacy in Monterey County, The Highland Retreat delivers.
