Property Description
Escape to your own private, gated retreat set on nearly 5 acres in the scenic hills of Royal Oaks. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath country home offers privacy, usable acreage, and a peaceful rural setting - yet remains just minutes from Watsonville, Salinas, Highway 101, and the Monterey Bay. Two detached studios offer flexible space for remote work, an art studio, or a yoga/meditation retreat, while reliable Starlink internet lets you work from atop the rolling hills while soaking in sweeping views of Elkhorn Slough and the valley beyond. Zoned RDR/5, the property opens the door to build an ADU, garage, or workshop - ideal for a home office, guest suite, or added income potential. The nearly five-acre parcel offers room to roam, including a lower area currently used as a productive garden, perfect for hobby farming or extra parking for equipment, RVs, or vehicles. Nature lovers will delight in the property's charming owl nesting box, complete with camera, which has already welcomed 5 fledgling owls. Best of all, this home qualifies for VA, FHA, and conventional financing, opening the door to a wide range of buyers seeking Monterey County acreage or a country retreat with land. Don't miss this rare blend of history, privacy, and possibility - schedule your showing today!
