Located less than 10 minutes from the heart of the Aptos Village, 1440 Fern Flat is your very own oasis of sunshine and privacy. Built in 1981 by a local teacher, the design of this home blends beautifully with the incredible natural surroundings. You will fall in love with the stunning acreage that this very special home sits on.Incredibly lush, there are multiple garden areas, an abundance of mature fruit trees, and direct access to scenic hiking trails through the redwood forest. Some of the most notable features include soaring high open beam ceilings, stunning views from every window, and an ideal floor plan that includes 4 comfortable bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, reading nooks, and space for a home office or gym. The luxurious primary bedroom suite opens onto a private deck where you can enjoy the expansive vistas over the gardens and into the forest. Imagine getting to wake up to this every day! Theres plenty of parking plus a 1 car garage offering additional room for vehicles and storage. Another very special bonus is the original building on the property (the artists cabin) which could serve as an office, hobby space, or you could explore converting it to an additional living unit. This is close in country at its finest!
