This is that rare, in-town opportunity to build in Midtown Santa Cruz, an area sought after for its warm Banana Belt weather, easy access to local favs like Akira Sushi, Lillians and Santa Adairius Rustic Ales, Midtown Block Parties, and the 63-acre open space Arana Gulch that provides access to the Yacht Harbor and Seabright Beach. This table flat and sunny flag lot is nicely tucked back off the street. The property was thoughtfully planned for a custom owner-occupied 4BR/3.5BA residence with an attached 2-car garage and a 1BR ADU. Building permits for this design received City approval in 2025, but for reasons unrelated to the property or the approved design, the permits expired. Included in the sale are conceptual architectural plans, along with a complete set of construction drawings that may be available for resubmission to the City of Santa Cruz, subject to architect approval and execution of a plan transfer agreement. Whether its to build a home with income or multigenerational living potential, design something that is completely you, or simply take advantage of the extensive planning already completed, this is an exceptional opportunity to get a quick jump on a building project.
