Looking out through the redwoods and over the creek from either the upper deck or the lower deck is absolutely beautiful.

Within Mount Hermon, there are many hiking trails and just a quick stone's throw to Henry Cowell State Park and Roaring Camp. Nearby Felton has weekly farmer's market, Humble Sea Tavern, music, and the tallest covered bridge in the U.S.! With forest views, yet close to beaches, Felton & Scotts Valley, this home has lots of possibilities! The need for a CASH buyer stems from the lack of functioning septic, and need for a new parking deck or garage, which is currently unsafe to walk or drive on.
