Nestled in one of the most sought-after locations in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 281 Olson Road offers a rare combination of peaceful seclusion and exceptional access. Just minutes from commuter routes, downtown Soquel, and Capitola, you'll also be close to beloved local favorites like Gayles Bakery, Bargetto Winery, world-class surf at The Point, and scenic trails in Nisene Marks and Demonstration Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts and garden lovers alike will appreciate the expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature plantings, raised garden beds, a tranquil koi pond, and private river access, perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. The patio invites al fresco dining beneath the stars, where the unspoiled night sky offers breathtaking stargazing. Inside, the home is filled with natural light, thanks to abundant windows that frame serene views of the surrounding forest. The bedroom opens to a private patio through sliding glass doors, an ideal spot to ease into your day with a quiet cup of coffee. This is more than a home, it's a peaceful retreat and a truly special opportunity not to be missed.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
