What people are saying about 143 Moran ...

"I went to Nepenthe years ago and sat at the bar there and wanted to incorporate that cool bar design into my home and to my own wonderful view of Moran, so I did!"

Jill, seller (original owner of 143 Moran since 1976), speaking about her deck design for the new owner to enjoy 

"The first Sunday of the open house, I was enjoying hosting it and was amazed when I noticed I could see the Westcliff lighthouse and Steamers Lane out of the corner window by the fireplace and could see the sets at second peak going off, so epic!"

Celeste, Listing Agent

The Santa Cruz County Park Setting

Moran Lake Park and Beach is a picturesque natural setting featuring a lagoon and a private beach where dogs can happily stroll with their owners. Located on the east side of Santa Cruz in the Live Oaks area, this 9-acre park is home to many native birds that chatter in the Eucalyptus trees, providing a lovely shaded area for locals to picnic or enjoy a peaceful retreat. Across the road, a charming cove showcases the Pacific waters, with coastal homes protected by rocky barriers at both ends.

You can experience a 0.9-mile out-and-back trail near Santa Cruz, California. Generally considered an easy route, the average time to complete it is about 17 minutes. This trail is popular for birdwatching, hiking, and walking, but you can still find moments of solitude during quieter times of the day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit at any time of year. Dogs are welcome, but they must be on a leash.

For dogs that love swimming and exploring in a serene, seaside environment, the park offers delightful nature walks across 11 acres of trees, open spaces, and shorelines. It's a paradise for dogs, allowing them to frolic in the Pacific Ocean waves and enjoy quality time outdoors with their favorite humans. The park has approximately forty parking spots, and there's a scenic dirt trail around the lake that your furry friend will adore. The beach stretches for about a mile and is a popular destination for surfers, sunbathers, and those seeking a quiet spot for fishing by the sea.

The county continually updates Moran Lake, which includes improving water quality, establishing a habitat for monarch butterflies, enhancing tree health, and increasing resilience to climate change.
