Picture yourself forty years ago. That is when the Golden Gate Villa last changed hands. Maybe then you couldn't afford it, but now you can.

This site can only begin to describe the absolutely unique opportunity that now exists to own the "Crown Jewel of Santa Cruz," the choicest property in one of California's favorite beach-front cities.

The Golden Gate Villa stands as the sole example of a landmark Queen-Anne style mansion overlooking the ocean and the City of Santa Cruz. Main Street in Santa Cruz begins at the Main Beach and ends at Golden Gate Villa on Beach Hill, as it has for more than a century.

The mansion comes with a vastly rich history, incorporating tales of Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Edison, along with one of the most spectacular success stories of California mining history and even an intriguing family murder mystery. If your success allows, you can now preserve this magnificent historical landmark in the style it deserves. Take the tour. Read the history. As you enjoy this site, imagine yourself the owner of the Crown Jewel of Santa Cruz. The Golden Gate Villa is now for sale.
