Build your dream home and live above it all...

  • 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
