35005 Loma Chiquita, Los Gatos
19.7 acres
This is a spectacular property with tremendous views of Hollister and Monterey Bay
The gated, paved driveway takes you up high into the hills overlooking the valley
The wrap around driveway takes you past the terraced olive orchard to the beginnings of a pond and the vineyard
The olive orchard has approximately 40 trees, mostly Kalamata (highly prized Greek eating olive), and some Arbequina (Spanish varietal, eating olive) and Koreniki (another wonderful Greek eating olive)
Most of the grape vines in the vineyard died in the fire, but some infrastructure lingers
The foundation remains of a 1230 sq ft home which burned down in the fire.
Approved building site (per Teresa Price, then manager of the Santa Clara County permitting office, building site approval from the destroyed house is still valid. A new house will require approval of the architectural plans, approval of the existing septic, and other common construction permits such as for foundation, energy code and geotechnical, possibly a grading permit and drainage permit)
The foundation from the 2 story garage and ceramic workshop remains as do the piers from the freestanding yurt
Existing prolific private well with high quality water (aquifer), new well pump (replaced after the fire)
Existing, permitted septic
Electricity on site with a PG&E power pole in vineyard
Lots of usable flat or gently sloped land
Magnificent views…see the Sierras on a clear day and the lights around Monterey Bay each night
Lots of light, east and south facing, great for solar
Borders Open Space on three sides
Seasonal creek
3100 feet in elevation
20 minutes to the Summit Store
Remarkable peace and quiet
Come home and hear nothing but the sounds of nature
Relish the profusion of lupines that bloom in late spring
