Featured in The NY Times, this one-of-a-kind off grid property combines modern character and rustic charm on approx. 6 acres in the hills of Sebastopol; just 15 min to town, 25 min to the coast and 90 min to SF. The cedar cabin offers 2 bds, 1 ba, & a spacious loft, with light-filled interiors that flow onto an expansive deck designed for outdoor living and entertaining. Surrounded by mature trees, a creek and lush landscaping, the cabin feels like an ultra-private sanctuary. A separate office structure offers a quiet space for working remotely while raised garden beds and a large yard - both surrounded by deer-proof fencing - add color and utility. Perched at the top of the site is a 50-foot lap pool with sweeping views of the surrounding forest and rolling hills. A detached 450 sqft 2-level studio provides endless possibilities: a creative space, fitness room, workshop, or additional retreat. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy off-grid living with modern upgrades that make you feel as connected as you want to be. The land itself is a sight to be seen: a private meadow, open skies and total seclusion at the end of a paved private lane. Welcome to a distinctive and tranquil West County retreat that balances modern comforts with feeling worlds away.
