Gorgeous and sunny lot with trees all around, this parcel is ready for your imagination! Theres a little pond with a small seasonal stream on one end and it's only 4 minutes from downtown Boulder Creek. Once home to a lovely 2 bed/1bath family residence, thanks to the CZU fire, all that remains is this beautiful landscape ready for it's next Owners. Water is supplied by the Forest Springs IMA as well as a community pool. They also maintain the neighborhood roads. Existing Septic system passed inspection when home was bought back in 2003 but will need a Buyer who is willing to take on inspecting the current system. Owners did get temporary pre-clearances post CZU fire for septic, electrical and water. Please note ** 5th Wheel and vehicle will need to be removed. Seller is unable to do so. I have a quote from a local hauler for cost. Buyer would be taking on that responsibility and Seller would be willing to discuss concessions for that inconvienence.
