“Calgon, take me away!” We call this property Sleeping Dragon because the creek bed has a rock formation that looks like the head of a dragon that is sleeping in the Carbonera creek. It’s a magical setting, straight from Rivendell and the Lord of the Rings. This is a watering hole like no other. A hidden gem conveniently located within the Scotts Valley City Limit. The soil is soft and fertile if you want to grow your own food or plant flowers or fruit trees. The dream now is to attract a steward of the land who just wants to enjoy a getaway or perhaps have your own whimsical garden. There’s a 1/3 interest in the neighboring well, so there’s some water for gardening.
