The Space:
You'll find ease and tranquility at this beautifully positioned Sea Ranch home, a retreat of calm and comfort in a lush grove of coastal redwoods. Built by the owner from the ground up, this tri-level home is entered from the ground level and is full of thoughtful touches such as radiant floor heating throughout. The jetted primary bath tub looks out over the forest and the outdoor deck is the perfect place to lounge, grill, and dine among the trees. Enjoy lazy mornings in bed with window coverings in the primary for comfort and privacy. Enjoy community access to heated pools, tennis courts, saunas, and some of the loveliest trails and beaches on the Northern California Coast, and come home each evening to relax in the beauty of the forest. If you hop in the car for a scenic drive up the coast, you'll find the Sea Ranch Chapel five miles north, the Sea Ranch Golf Links eight miles north, and several markets, restaurants, and galleries in charming downtown Gualala one mile beyond. Some of the best pastries in the area also await at Twofish Baking in the Stewarts Point Store only four miles south.
