Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
We are a family of four, and live in Santa Cruz. We love Santa Cruz, and we also love the Sierra Nevada. We have owned this house and have been part of the Camp Nelson community for many years, as I have been coming here since I was a small child. We like being able to share our Camp Nelson home with other people when we are not able to be there.
Why the Owner Chose Camp Nelson
We bought this house because we enjoy Camp Nelson so much. I love giant sequoias, and there are more groves in this area than anywhere else I have found.
The Unique Benefits of this House
I love sitting on the deck watching the evening light play on the mountain, walking to the river to enjoy the sound and sight of the water, the rocks, the birds and the fish, hiking near green meadows and seeing views of high peaks, and much more.
