Welcome to 196 Broad Reach, a charming and comfortable three-bedroom, two-bath Sea Ranch beach house ideally located just moments from the coast. A two-minute walk brings you to the bluff trail, while a ten-minute stroll leads to the dramatic beauty of Gualala Point, where the river meets the ocean. Designed for easy coastal living and relaxed entertaining, the home offers a thoughtful layout that allows guests to enjoy privacy in separate quarters while gathering together in the spacious main living area for cooking, dining, movie nights, or time with friends and family. A new deck creates an inviting setting for barbecues, and the large hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind and stargaze beneath the clear coastal sky. Set within a welcoming full-time neighborhood and just six minutes from the conveniences of Gualala, 196 Broad Reach offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of The Sea Ranch coastline and nearby mountains.
