276 Meadow Court in Aptos is listed at $1,479,000

A few months ago I posted about a $1+ Million foreclosure that had hit the market in Aptos. That property was on Mesa Drive, and offered a nice ocean view in addition to amenities like a pool and pool house. Now, there’s another $1+ million foreclosure in Aptos. This time, the property is in Day Valley, and it too offers some amazing views. It’s located in a beautiful, quiet community of upscale luxury homes in the Forest and Meadows sub-division.

The home is massive – about 6,400 square feet and sits on nearly 2.4 acres of land. It’s only about ten years old, and boasts a three car garage, capacious master suite, granite slab counters everywhere, and marble is generously used in most of the bathrooms. It offers top of the line Miele appliances, and has a generously sized children’s play room on the southern end of the house.

While it does offer some enviable amenities, the home will not be for everyone. The home is accessed via a steep single lane driveway, with limited parking at the top by the house. The front door is accessed by walking along what feels like the “side” of the house, reached via a relatively narrow concrete walkway. The land is steeply sloped below, and it feels like there should be something else in front of the home. To make it truly magnificent, something will need to be done to give more usable space in front of the home, to improve utility and curb appeal.

Santa Cruz County residents and concerned citizens have joined collectively in a new grassroots group, Neighbors Organized to Protect Our Community (NOPOC), to voice their issues concerning a proposed power line project. The neighborhood alliance believes the Santa Cruz 115kV Reinforcement Project as proposed by PG&E will have an adverse effect on the surrounding hills, wildlife, livestock, agriculture, and residents within the impacted areas of Day Valley, Aptos, Corralitos, Plesant Valley, and Watsonville.

According to NOPOC, the proposed project will see greater than eighty metal poles, many as tall as 10-story buildings, erected in rural residential neighborhoods. To put in these monumental steel structures, PG&E plans to assemble touchdown pads in an apple orchard and fly heavy cargo helicopters six days per week for 10 hours a day over properties, faculties, and companies for as much as 18 months. The venture could even require the destruction of greater than a hundred and fifty mature trees and the ongoing elimination of vegetation, which can adversely impression the ecosystem and the aesthetics of the area.
