Enchanting Coastal Mendocino 4 Bedroom Luxury Estate, Pet Friendly with Wi-Fi

Welcome to The Lichen Manor, your historic coastal retreat on California's rugged north coast! This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom artist's estate sits on 20 forested acres just 5 minutes from Mendocino Village, offering the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury for families and groups.

This one-of-a-kind home was originally commissioned by world-renowned seascape artist E. John Robinson (1932-2008), created over 4,000 breathtaking ocean paintings and was featured on four Reader's Digest covers. Inspired by the English countryside, he designed this traditional half-timbered cottage as his coastal retreat: a space of reflection, creativity, and natural beauty.

Today, the home has been thoughtfully re-imagined by the current owner (also an artist) with yellow pine flooring, custom walnut kitchen cabinetry, and hand-crafted details throughout. Large groups will enjoy expansive common areas, hot water cowboy tubs perfect for starlit soaks, and lush English gardens with a koi pond. Beach access is just minutes away.
