640 Thayer is an exquisite estate property for the discriminating buyer. This gracefully handcrafted home resonates with quality, privacy, and charm. The house was carefully and thoughtfully designed by Dennis Britton to accent the incredible property without any pretense. ALL the wood used in this home was milled from logs cut on the property. The home resonates with impeccable craftsman details, from the granite rock fireplace large enough for 5 foot logs, to the massive exposed beams. Creature comforts are cared for with similar attention to detail.  The floors are fitted with radiant heat which extends into the walls of the custom cast soaking tub in the master suite!  The gourmet kitchen features Carrera marble counters and a butcher block island, Viking range with double ovens, large Viking refrigerator, two sinks and an abundance of natural light.  Multiple sets of French doors in the kitchen, dining room, family room, living room, breakfast room and master bedroom flood the house with light.  The intriguing second floor “bridge” allows distribution of light and heat between floors.

The guest house and cabin provide room for support staff, caretakers, an au pere or for rental income.  The expense of maintaining the property is reduced by the large photo-voltaic solar array which cuts the PGE bill to approximately $50 per month. The TPZ (Timber Production Zone) zoning designation means unbelievably LOW prop taxes on the timbered 30 acres, reducing further the carry costs!

The 36 acre parcel enjoys end of road privacy in one of Bonny Doon’s most sought after neighborhoods.  Splash in the year round creek and seasonal tributary which both cross the unspoiled forests of this magic parcel.  Wander through your own forest of redwoods, fir and oaks and cross 2 flat, sunny meadows. The upper meadow could be doubled in size through selective clearing. Additionally, this property would easily support horses and/or a vineyard. 640 Thayer is located adjacent to the 8,532 acre former Cemex property now being held in conservancy by the Living Landscape Initiative.  See a preliminary plan for the adjacent land at http://www.livinglandscapeinitiative.org/news/CEMEX-Redwoods.php

This parcel has the rare status of allowing the discharge of firearms for sport! There is a skeet range and a pistol range onsite. 640 Thayer is the only property of its kind with such an exclusive setting, end of the road privacy, and its location contiguous to the former Cemex property. This is a truly unique property that cannot be duplicated. You will not find comparable properties because there is nothing like 640 Thayer anywhere in Santa Cruz County.
