Ohh I love Corralitos! We have looked at property in that area before! Such a beautiful area! I am not sure if I have been to Nisene Marks~ though it sounds familiar- we have explored the area quite a bit. We absolutely love it there! 🙂

Chaminade is lovely! I live in an apple orchard in Corralitos and I just love October in this area! It is very peaceful nestled between the ocean and redwood forests on each side. Did you get to walk in the Forest of Nisene Marks? So much to see in this area between Santa Cruz and Monterey!! I loved seeing the house and I can imagine how beautiful it would be after you had worked your magic on it! You are quite talented!! If you are ever in this area in October again, I would love to share apples with you – the fujis are ready right now, sweet and crisp!!
Hugs, Colette

What a beautiful spot for a break!! It's too bad nobody wants to redo that beautiful old house!! I'm so much like you, wondering what went on and all the history that happened in these places.

Glad you had a great time with your family and that you're back safe and sound.

Have a great weekend!!

Pam

It's luxury in my very own corner of the world! I totally get your fascination with old houses, we've spent many weekends driving through these hills looking and dreaming about some of the homes that are tucked away under the trees. The renovation of our own tree damaged home is nearly complete, I will need a break after we are done. But then, I will get the bug and start dreaming about fixer-uppers again!! I always enjoy reading your posts, mostly just lurk but had to comment when I saw my "backyard" posted! From our rental I look out at the ocean and the palm trees at the entrance to the boardwalk. I can watch the weather change, and I living here in paradise I count my blessings every day!

And, I can only imagine the beauty you could bring out in that house on the hill!

California I have never spent any time in Santa Cruz. We have wanted to drive to the pacific coast and this really looks like a lovely place to stay. THANKYOU for the tip. Also the old house made me sad. I wish you and your family could get a hold of it. You would bring the old place to life and make it a french chateau fit for royalty. Go on…..tell your hubs to see if he can't buy it. N.

And sad that it sits lonely and uncared for, now. Fun to imagine fixing it up.

I often wish I had the money to buy all the lonesome homes and bring them back to the beauty they once possessed.

Wonderful pictures.

I to love old houses. My hubby and I love to buy them fix them up and give them a new life with a new family as we move on to yet another one. I feel like they are our unspoken history. They keep records in the walls. Oh if those walls could only speak. Can't you just hear the stories of days gone by. Here in the south we find these really huge old southern homes abandoned, but yet not for sale. I could literately spend days pondering their pasts. Gorgeous red creeper vines covering the walls in the autumn, wondering if they saw much civil war action. How beautiful the gardens must have once looked. Oh yes, must not forget the gardens that once stood so proud and beautiful. One can find remains of them if you look hard enough. A bed of daffodils here, a struggling rose bush on a broken down fence, a couple of azalea bushes there, a huge old magnolia …and the list goes on. Thank you for sharing this one you found. It is lovely….Char
