Escape to your own private gated property in the scenic Strawberry Canyon area of Royal Oaks. Set on nearly 5 acres this 3 bedroom 1 bath country home with land offers privacy, usable acreage and a peaceful rural setting while still being conveniently located near Watsonville, Salinas, Highway 101 and Monterey Bay. Rich in local history, the original structure was a Captain's house relocated from Fort Ord. The two detached studios offer room for remote working, art studio or yoga/meditation space. Starlink provides strong, reliable internet service allowing you to work from atop the rolling hills while enjoying the view of Elkhorn Slough or the valley. Zoned RDR/5 allows you to build an ADU, garage or workshop. The nearly five acre parcel offers multiple usable areas including a lower portion currently used as a productive garden space ideal for gardening, hobby farming or additional parking for equipment RVs or vehicles. Nature lovers will appreciate the installed owl nesting box (now with 5 fledging owls) with a camera allowing you to keep an eye on your feathered neighbors. The home qualifies for VA, FHA and conventional financing expanding opportunities for buyers seeking Monterey County acreage property or a country retreat with land.
