About this home
There are few places on the Mendocino Coast where architecture feels so inseparable from the landscape. Pelican Cove is one of them. Named for the pelicans that soar along the cliffs and sea stacks, this remarkable bluff-top estate offers front-row Pacific views where migrating whales, dramatic sunsets, and waves surging through sea caves become part of everyday life. Built in 1979 and extensively renovated, the 1,800+/- sq. ft. main residence and 600+/- sq. ft. guest residence redefine luxury coastal living. Set on approximately one acre, the property offers exceptional privacy, uninterrupted ocean views, and professionally designed gardens by a former Botanical Gardens master gardener. Heather gardens, slate pathways, landscape lighting, and automatic irrigation create a setting of lasting serenity. Clad in yellow Alaskan cedar shingles with weathered copper gutters, the three-bedroom, two-bath residence is designed to embrace the coastline. Expansive picture windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a striking stone propane fireplace anchor the open living, dining, and kitchen areas while framing breathtaking ocean views. The beautifully appointed kitchen features alder cabinetry, quartz countertops, stacked-stone accents, an oversized skylight, a professional-grade BlueStar gas range, premium appliances, and a pantry. The primary suite features its own Vermont Castings propane fireplace, a window-wrapped sitting area, breathtaking ocean views, and a walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom is finished with custom inlaid stone tile floor and shower, quartz vanity countertop, and bidet toilet, creating a timeless aesthetic. Echoing the same level of craftsmanship, the guest bathroom is equally appointed with a custom inlaid stone tile floor and shower and bidet toilet. Two guest bedrooms feature French doors opening to private garden settings, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Outdoor living is equally inviting with expansive Ipe decking, multiple ocean-view gathering spaces, and handcrafted garden features designed for unforgettable entertaining and quiet reflection. The detached 600+/- sq. ft. guest residence offers an ocean-view bedroom, media room, one-and-a-half baths, kitchenette, and private terrace. Additional amenities include a greenhouse, water storage, and thoughtfully cultivated native coastal plantings. Pelican Cove is a legacy property honoring one of the Mendocino Coast's most spectacular bluff-top settings.
This oceanfront property is the coastal getaway you've been searching for. A place where you can celebrate the mesmerizing drama that unfolds at the ocean's edge. Known as the ''House with the Green Chairs'' Sited on this property is a snug 3 bedroom/2 bath single-level home that embraces the practical simplicity of a bygone era and a studio apartment attached to the garage with short-term rental potential. Acknowledging that nature's drama is the true focal point of the home, the windows in the living and dining areas of the home frame postcard views. Random-width hardwood floors throughout and an earth-toned palette imbue the property with a sense of peace and well-being. Choose to enjoy this home in its original simplicity or update to your taste.
