501 Ryder Road

Tucked among the majestic Redwoods of Scotts Valley, 501 Ryder Rd presents a rare opportunity to own approximately one acre of serene mountain land with a rich connection to the area's historic logging past. Located on private Ryder Road off Lockhart Gulch Rd near Mt. Hermon Rd, across from Mission Springs Conference Center, this unique property offers privacy, natural beauty, and tremendous potential. The rustic cabin and additional structures reflect the property's long history and may inspire restoration, renovation, or a reimagined retreat surrounded by towering Redwoods. A well drilled in 1989 provides good water, and the property features one of the area's notably large old-growth redwood stumps - a striking reminder of the historic redwood logging era. Whether you envision creating a peaceful full-time residence, weekend escape, artist retreat, or future investment project, this property offers an exceptional canvas in a highly desirable mountain setting. Buyers should investigate renovation possibilities, septic improvements, and development options. A rare chance to create something truly special in the Scotts Valley Redwoods.
