AFFORDABLE HOME ON 5 BEAUTIFUL ACRES!
Gorgeous long-range views over Uvas Canyon from this modest non-conforming mountain home awaiting some TLC and a personal touch. Solar-powered for independent “off the grid” living. Very usable 5 acre parcel with 1/2 interest in 3-yr.-old well. Outbuilding above main house currently used as a workshop. So much potential! App. 45 min. from Los Gatos or Soquel. (Loma Chiquita Road is partially unpaved and fairly rugged.) Sunny southern exposure. Room for horses, vineyard, pool… Adjacent 5 ac. parcel also for sale for $299 or $749,000 for both! Take a walk on the wild side! Call today for an appointment to view this unique property.
Take a walk on the wild side indeed! I guess this is what they mean by affordable real estate in Silicon Valley.

“nonconforming” ? I’m thinking tatoos and body piercings. Then again, after looking the photo over more carefully I’m thinking Ma and Pa Kettle with tatoos and piercings.

Non-conforming means the building doesn’t have a permit from the county. I think this means you could be fined for every day that somebody inhabits the building, if you are the owner.

During the Loma Prieta fire in 1985, loads of off the grid (and totally illegal) homes were exposed.
