Days like this are why people fall in love with the Santa Cruz Mountains 🌲☀️

The light through the trees.
Windows open.
Kids outside instead of glued to screens.

It’s quiet—but not boring.
Remote—but still close to everything.

This isn’t just a place to live… it’s a different pace of life.

And yeah… it’s as good as it looks.

If you’re curious what’s available (or what your home could sell for up here), I’m always happy to share—no pressure.

Living in the Santa Cruz Mountains is a little different — and that’s exactly why we love it 🌲

From winding roads and redwoods to septic, wells, and generator life… mountain homes come with their own learning curve. At Donner Land & Homes, we don’t just sell houses up here — we live it.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just have questions about mountain living, we’re always happy to help.

New year. Same mountains. New possibilities.

As we head into 2026, a lot of people are rethinking what “home” really means.
More space. More quiet. More time. Less chaos.

Whether this is the year you finally buy in the mountains, simplify your living situation, or decide it’s time for a new chapter altogether—we’re here to help you navigate it with honesty, local knowledge, and zero pressure.

Here’s to fresh starts, clear air, and finding a place that actually feels like home.

If a move has been on your mind, even quietly, let’s talk.

Happy New Year

One of the things we love most about living in the mountains is how much people look out for each other.
Whether it’s sharing a driveway after a storm, lending a generator, or just checking in when things go quiet — this community shows up.

If you’re newer to mountain living and ever feel like you’re “figuring it out as you go,” you’re not alone. Most of us learned the same way.

This place has a way of teaching you what actually matters.

Just reduced to $1,295,000 🌄

At the end of a quiet country road, this 28-acre ridgetop retreat feels like a deep exhale. Surrounded by the Santa Cruz Mountains with distant views of the Monterey Bay, every room is filled with light, framed by picture windows that bring the outdoors in.

With solar, a private well, strong internet, a barn and workshop, and space to garden, create, and wander, this is a home built for a slower, more intentional way of living without giving up modern comfort.

Much-needed rain is headed our way this weekend

And while it’s great for the land, today is is a great day for any last-minute winter prep you haven’t gotten to yet.

I’m resharing our Winter Prep Checklist below as a quick reminder for mountain homes before the storm rolls in.

A little prep now goes a long way once the rain starts. Stay cozy and enjoy it.

Imagine sipping your morning coffee with this view ☕🌲
The fog drifts through the mountains, the bay sparkles in the distance, and the whole world feels just a little quieter.

This isn’t a vacation spot, it’s the kind of view you can actually wake up to every day here in Boulder Creek.

If you’ve been dreaming of a mountain home with a view like this, reach out! I’d love to share more.

After a week of rain, we’re finally looking at sunshine just in time for Thanksgiving.

Nothing beats crisp post-storm air and clear mountain views — perfect weather for house hunting, hikes, or just appreciating why we call the Santa Cruz Mountains home.

We’ve got a little break in the rain today — take advantage of it!
If you didn’t get a chance to prep yesterday, now’s the perfect window to tighten up your fall/winter storm readiness before the next round hits.

A few minutes of prep now can save you a lot of headache later.
