BONNY DOON
Magic in the Santa Cruz Mountains
High above the Santa Cruz coastal fog bank sits the beautiful area known as Bonny Doon. This magical part of Santa Cruz County straddles the ridgeline of the Santa Cruz mountains. Bonny Doon presents breathtaking views of Monterey to the South, the expanse of the Pacific to the west and the San Lorenzo Valley and summit beyond to the east. Bonny Doon includes parts of at least 5 state parks with holdings of over 25,000 acres, and enjoys many micro climates to satisfy any person’s requirements.
We have magnificent redwood groves, world famous vineyards, several Llama ranches, mountains, meadows, streams and waterfalls. There are fewer than 1,500 homes in Bonny Doon, most located on at least 2 acres. Self reliant and independent, the residents of Bonny Doon share a wonderful sense of community. Many Bonny Doon residents are artisans, craftspeople, educators, professionals or telecommuters. Some residents work in Silicon Valley, some drive up Highway One to San Francisco. But we all love the paradise at the end of our drive home.
Bonny Doon has only one commercial establishment, the wine tasting room of the Bonny Doon Vineyard. The community is focused on the highly regarded Bonny Doon School, The Bonny Doon Volunteer Fire Team, The Rural Bonny Doon Association and the quaint Bonny Doon Church
Located just 7 miles north of downtown Santa Cruz and 2 miles from the Pacific, Bonny Doon is 75 miles from San Francisco, 65 miles from Carmel and approximately 40 minutes from Silicon Valley. Discerning homebuyers who seek privacy, views or elbow room will not be disappointed here.
