PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A 21-Acre Sanctuary in the Heart of Aptos Hills: The Story of Honey Hill For years, the sun-drenched hills of Larkin Valley held a secret. Known to locals simply as "that spot," this coveted 21 acre parcel remained a hidden treasure…rolling hills, panoramic ocean views, and absolute tranquility. In 2014, this hidden gem was transformed into Honey Hill, a 3,796 sf custom masterpiece that defines California luxury living. More than just a home, this property bridges the gap between grand entertaining and intimate, quiet living. A Haven for the Soul Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of oaks and the song of birds, knowing you have 21 acres of private refuge surrounding you. Step out onto expansive, wraparound porches with your morning coffee as the coastal fog lifts to reveal breathtaking views. Inside, inspired design meets effortless comfort as sunlight floods the generous open living spaces including a cozy fireplace designed for quiet evenings. The timeless chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece of design and functionality, complete with marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a walk-in pantry, perfectly crafted for slow Sunday breakfasts or hosting grand gatherings that flow seamlessly into the luxurious gardens. An Indoor-Outdoor Lifestyle Honey Hill offers unparalleled privacy and freedom. Spend your days exploring your own private estate, walking to the top of the property for morning sun salutations, riding horses and hiking on the vast trails or relaxing under the pergola with a curated meal including vegetables and fruits from your own garden. With four spacious bedrooms plus specialized, bright upper-level living spaces, there is ample room for guests to escape the hustle and embrace the serenity. The Best of Both Worlds While Honey Hill feels a world away, its location offers the rare luxury of seclusion without isolation, being just minutes from the vibrant coastal charm of Aptos, Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur and more. It’s a rare opportunity to have the privacy of a sprawling ranch with the convenience of Aptos Village, world-class beaches, state parks, shopping, local restaurants and coffee shops right around the corner. This is more than a property; it’s a legacy. A place to build a life, a "wow" moment every time you drive down the lane. 365 Race Horse Lane is ready for its next chapter. Are you?
