6121 Fern Flat Road

Imagine owning your personal forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Just up from the newly renovated Aptos Village is a property unlike any the market has seen in recent years. 8.4 breathtaking acres spread across a redwood forest, through meadows and up to a ridge with views of the surrounding mountains and down into Nisene Marks State Park. Fern Flat has existing structures on site, electricity and well water with multiple locations ideal for building a charming mountain home, guest cottages or other facilities you wish. Are you ready to create the retreat of your dreams? The possibilities are endless. * * * W O W * * * One of the nation's top redwood scientists, Steve Sillett, & his team recently visited the property and the forest behind it in Nisene Marks State Park to study the trees. The tallest tree they measured is 87 m (287 feet) tall, which is astounding considering the age of the forest (logged 1890s). As far as they know this is the tallest second-growth forest.
