About the host
Hosted by David De La Rosa
I'm Sorry but my entire Ranch burned down in the Fire.
I'm David and I work out of my home office on my 86 Acre Security Gated Ranch in the Redwoods above UCSC
I love the amazing Redwood Trees and views across Monterey Bay as well as watching wild life.
I've been Horse crazy since I was a little kid and I also love riding my Mountain Bike along the beach to fun Bistros and on the bike trails in Wilder Ranch State Park that borders my Ranch.

Why they chose this property
Like most nature lovers, I love new adventures so I created a fun spot for hikers, horse and mountain bike lovers to visit and bring their own horse or Mountain Bike. The Ranch is Private and Gated for your security. It has an elegant Cabin feel and borders Wilder Ranch State Park so you can enjoy wild animals visiting the Ranch daily such as Deer, Hawks, Bunnies, Coyotes, Bob Cats and maybe a Mountain Lion but Mountain Lions are nocturnal so you'll rarely see them but be careful... I've seen 4 Mountain Lions in 24 years... pretty exciting but Animals are unpredictable and can be dangerous so always hike with a walking stick and preferably with a Partner.
What makes this property unique
Santa Cruz Ranch is a unique property. There are very few properties as large and beautiful as this private ranch in this area. I love the beauty I get to live in daily and I wanted to share it with others.
I hope you take a moment to slow down, listen to nature and breathe the clean mountain and ocean air. I hope the beauty and peace will revive your spirit as it does mine daily.
