Set on 17 private acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this off-grid 3-bed 2-bath retreat offers a rare blend of seclusion and accessibility, just 30 minutes from town and everyday conveniences. Designed for relaxed California living, the home features generous deck space ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or unwinding under the stars, along with a detached two-car garage that adds flexibility for storage or a workshop, perfect for hobbies like woodworking. Inside, recent upgrades include durable LVP flooring, while the expansive land opens the door to a variety of uses, from creating your own network of trails for hiking, mountain biking, or ATV adventures. Located within a private, gated ~300 acre community, residents enjoy an added layer of security, shared open space, and a true sense of retreat-style living, with equine-friendly bylaws that make it especially appealing for horse enthusiasts. 2950 Bear Canyon is also part of the coveted Los Gatos school district. Properties like this are seldom available, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, and the outdoors right at your doorstep.
