End of the Road: Your Private Redwood Sanctuary
Nestled deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains, End of the Road is a hidden gem that embodies the essence of "getting away and into nature." Begin your journey at our gated entrance, where you'll journey up the mountain road, driving through gorgeous redwood forest and shallow creeks. While a 2WD vehicle with decent clearance can navigate the path, a 4WD is recommended for the best experience.
This unique locale is offering guests an experience ranging from sanctuary for those seeking personal transformation and a deep connection with nature to a reprieve from the world to relax and rejuvenate. With world-class mountain biking and hiking trails right at your doorstep, along with easy access to the serene Hinkley and Soquel Creeks, you will find awakening and embodied presence that will carry you forward in life.
Despite its remote location, End of the Road is just 12 miles from downtown Santa Cruz, offering easy access to major attractions, restaurants, and beaches.
Surrounded by 19,000 acres of redwood forest and state park, this property offers truly unparalleled privacy and natural beauty, setting the stage for illumination to happen. This off-grid retreat is powered by regenerative sources including solar power, wood burning stoves, generator backup, and water is sourced directly from a spring.
You will find a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin with a fully stocked kitchen, and a wrap-around deck made of locally harvested redwood. The cabin has high vaulted ceilings and large windows which bring the outdoors inside, creating a tranquil and spacious environment to provide the highest positive effect on your well-being.
Amenities include:
- Two outdoor showers and two auxiliary bathrooms with flush toilets.
- A grand outdoor camping area for those who prefer sleeping under the stars.
- For an additional cost, a 44-foot diameter geodesic dome/yoga temple, perfect for dance, ceremonies, or relaxation, equipped with plush rugs, complete professional sound system, cushy pillows, a wood-burning stove, and a very large fan.
- Tent accommodations for up to 25 people, with prior contact required for large groups.
- And even larger groups possible, we can talk about that.
Additional nearby attractions include world class surf breaks, iconic Santa Cruz Mountain wineries, local breweries, and distilleries, modern art and natural history museums, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Enjoy the tranquility and majesty of this unique sanctuary, just 12 miles from the vibrant heart of Santa Cruz.
