Overview

This mostly level residential lot has been cleared, surveyed, and staked, providing a straightforward foundation for new construction. There are no existing structures or improvements on the site, making it a blank canvas for buyers planning a custom home or other residential build. The property sits on a measured 0.653-acre parcel, and the current status supports early design and planning efforts.

The lot is located in Santa Cruz, California, positioned between El Rancho Drive and La Madrona Drive, with access from El Rancho DR. It is described as offering easy access within the area, and the site’s cleared condition can streamline early site work compared with heavily constrained lots.

Because the property is vacant, prospective buyers should review applicable development requirements and confirm all building feasibility details prior to purchase. With RA zoning noted for the site, interested parties can use the surveyed and staked layout to coordinate next steps with their architect, builder, and permitting professionals. This is a practical option for anyone looking to secure a residential parcel and plan their build from the ground up.
