Own a piece of the History of Aptos and Santa Cruz County. Part of the broader Castro Rancho Aptos, granted in 1833. In the 1870s, the Castro family holdings passed to Claus Spreckels of San Francisco, the sugar magnate, who purchased the majority of Rancho Aptos beginning in 1872. In 1944 the property was sold to the current family. The main residence reflects the Storybook (or Provincial Revival) cottage idiom that flourished in Northern California, from the late 1920s into the 1930s, seen in its steeply pitched, irregular gable roofline and, originally, in sculptural, monogrammed brick chimneys, a hallmark flourish of the style. The home is built entirely of local redwood, milled from the same Santa Cruz Mountain forests that fueled Aptos's earlier lumber boom, set among pasture and stands of second-growth redwood that recall the ranch,s origins. Large elegant home with 2 extra units. Spacioue 179 acres with maybe 70 acres of grass lands, balance is in a Timber Preserve.
