281 Olson Road

Nestled in one of the most sought-after locations in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 281 Olson Road offers a rare combination of peaceful seclusion and exceptional access. Just minutes from commuter routes, downtown Soquel, and Capitola, you'll also be close to beloved local favorites like Gayles Bakery, Bargetto Winery, world-class surf at The Point, and scenic trails in Nisene Marks and Demonstration Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts and garden lovers alike will appreciate the expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature plantings, raised garden beds, a tranquil koi pond, and private river access, perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. The patio invites al fresco dining beneath the stars, where the unspoiled night sky offers breathtaking stargazing. Inside, the home is filled with natural light, thanks to abundant windows that frame serene views of the surrounding forest. The bedroom opens to a private patio through sliding glass doors, an ideal spot to ease into your day with a quiet cup of coffee. This is more than a home, it's a peaceful retreat and a truly special opportunity not to be missed.
