When looking for undeveloped property to build on, the best course of action is to work with a real estate agent specializing in land sales. Be aware of your preferences for the kind of building you want and where it should be located. It is crucial, especially if you have specific requirements. For example, if you long for a mountain view, explore possibilities in Scotts Valley, Los Gatos, Felton, or Santa Cruz. If you plan to build near a winery in Santa Cruz, ensure your familiar with areas like Aptos, Watsonville, Soquel, and Santa Cruz.
