If you're going to build your dream home, shouldn't you start with your dream lot? This is one of the highest elevation lots you can buy in the San Benancio canyon with absolutely stunning views in all directions. To the west, you can see Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz to Pacific Grove. Just imagine the wonderful city lights at night ringed around the water. To the north you will see the city of Castroville and parts of Salinas Valley, to the east the sugar pines on top of the mountains with grazing cattle on the hillsides. The southern view includes rolling hills and horse ranches. This location will evoke memories of John Steinbeck's famous "Pastures of Heaven". Power is on lot, there is ample flat space for a beautiful home and guest house and the lot has it's own well. This Diaz Ranch property is zoned for livestock and agriculture usage if you desire. Go ahead and dream big! Raise horses? Cattle? Maybe you'd rather have vineyards? A lavender farm? Or maybe just a quiet retreat.
