Tucked at the edge of a cypress grove with a view of the ocean across the meadow, this inviting home is classic Sea Ranch in every sense. From the cozy interior to the banks of windows, the decks on two sides to the private hot tub, this is a place for relaxing into the wild beauty of the Northern California Coast.

This two-story home boasts an ideal location near the heart of Sea Ranch, right around the corner from the Shell Beach access trail. You'll be next door to One Eyed Jack's picnic area and playground and only a matter of steps from the oceanfront Bluff Trail. When you're not tidepooling or watching the harbor seals play, you'll be within two miles of two of the Sea Ranch rec centers (Del Mar and Ohlson), each with its own heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by lofty ceilings and a wall of windows that fill the house with sunlight and beautiful views. The great room is adorned with natural wood from top to bottom, providing warmth and atmosphere whether you're reading in the window seat or playing board games around the dining room table. Enjoy an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a living area where you can stream movies in the warmth of a wood-burning fireplace.

Take morning hikes on the Bluff Trail, stop by Shell Beach at low tide, and return home in time for a barbecue lunch on the sheltered deck. In the evenings, take in spectacular sunsets from the living room before heading outside to stargaze in the hot tub. In addition to the two bedrooms downstairs, there's a sleeping loft on the second floor that doubles as the perfect home office. Complimentary WiFi, a washer/dryer, and central air conditioning are provided as well.

Has potential
House and location are good. Initial inspection of property was clean in kitchens and bath which have been recently remodeled, but with very low flow shower heads. Quickly realized they had not cleaned or vacuumed upstairs loft in quite a long time, which is only accessible by an 8’ ladder that is honestly dangerous. Very dusty and LOTS of cobwebs and dead bugs. Cushions by windows haven’t been cleaned in awhile and contained gross brownish- red stain which was kind of gross. Discovered a black widow under the pillow. Property management company did send someone to clean loft and spa which had floating chunky white substance in it after jets settled. They cleaned spa which was better but loft had a quick once over where the vacuumed around items without moving anything and dead bugs remained. Cobwebs everywhere and walls need a serious wipe down. Still a decent property with potential, but disappointed in basic cleanliness. Broken items: back door lock, screen door (was on ground when we arrived), loft lamps and fan.
