An Immersive Retreat in the Heart of The Sea Ranch: Nestled within the iconic coastal enclave of The Sea Ranch, where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony, this beautifully sited woodland residence embodies the timeless principles that have made the community one of California's most celebrated destinations. Surrounded by towering forest and bordered by approximately 40 acres of protected Commons, the home offers an extraordinary sense of privacy, tranquility, and connection to the landscape. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, walls of glass sliders, clerestory-inspired skylights, and expansive wraparound decking fill the home with natural light while framing peaceful forest views. The thoughtfully designed split-level floor plan offers an ideal balance of gathering spaces and private retreats. Upstairs, the primary suite shares the level with an inviting living room anchored by a striking double-sided gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and well-appointed kitchen. Downstairs, two guest bedrooms with direct outdoor access, a Jack-and-Jill bath, a spacious family room, and attached garage provide exceptional comfort for family and guests. Life at The Sea Ranch extends far beyond the home itself. Just steps away, the Hot Spot Loop and Spring Meadow Trails connect to more than 40 miles of scenic pathways winding through forests, meadows, and along the Gualala River to the dramatic Pacific coastline. Nearby, the renowned Sea Ranch Lodge offers acclaimed dining and iconic architecture, while local markets, neighborhood services, and the Sea Ranch Airfield provide everyday convenience. Ownership includes exclusive access to The Sea Ranch's exceptional amenities, including recreation centers with swimming pools and tennis courts, private beaches and river access, an equestrian center, and the beloved One-Eyed Jack's recreation area with picnic grounds, playgrounds, volleyball, horseshoes, ptanque courts, and barbecue facilities. More than a home, this is an invitation to experience one of California's most distinctive coastal communitieswhere thoughtful design, breathtaking natural beauty, and an enduring sense of serenity define an extraordinary way of life.
