Remarks

Rare opportunity to assume a 2.75% VA loan with an approximate balance of $785,000 significantly below current market rates. Nestled in the redwoods of Brookdale, this mid-century modern 2BD/2BA cabin with a spacious loft features soaring windows, abundant natural light, and a seamless connection to nature. The updated kitchen includes all new appliances, complemented by a wood burning stove and new furnace for year-round comfort. Set on a private 0.91-acre lot, the property offers exceptional outdoor living with extensive fire-hardening, hardscaping, and curated landscaping. Enjoy an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, and multiple entertaining spaces. A large, flat upper area with fire road access provides potential for future development (buyer to verify). Additional highlights include: a new roof with a 10 year warranty, enclosed shed/workshop and additional garden shed, ample off-street parking, and basement storage. A turnkey mountain retreat combining modern upgrades, usable land, and a rare financing advantage just minutes from town and an easy commute to Santa Cruz or Silicon Valley.
