Oceanfront seaside home with balcony & sweeping ocean views

Summary:

The ocean is your backyard -- hear the waves from every room in this coastal haven. Curl up under a cozy blanket as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Warm up in the community sauna after a brisk beach walk. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 9-minute walk to the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Cormorants dive and otters float just offshore -- nature's channel plays 24/7 from the windows.



The Space:

Find your inner serenity on a retreat to this two-story coastal home. You'll be able to appreciate nature with picturesque views from every room. Watch the sunrise over the ocean and watch for visits from deer and colorful birds.



Relax on the wraparound deck with a soothing soak in the hot tub while looking out on the vista. The courtyard garden is an ideal place to meditate, and you'll also find a gas grill there for afternoon cookouts.



The house is a two-level sanctuary of unique architecture. Natural light flows in through contemporary angled windows that complement the incline of the ceilings. Settle down on the oversized sofas in front of the wood-burning stone fireplace. There's also a huge window seat perfect for curling up with a book off the shelf.



At night, spread out among the wraparound deck and admire the star-filled sky. SEA RANCH AMENITIES

Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:

The Sea Ranch is a one-of-a-kind coastal community on the Sonoma Coast, where miles of trails wind through meadows, forests, and along ocean bluffs. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (9-minute walk), Shell Beach tidepools (7-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (7-minute drive). Explore over Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails, discover tidepools at low tide, swim in heated community pools, and end the day with dinner at The Sea Ranch Lodge. Gualala is a quick 10-minute walk south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.



Getting Around:

Plan for a 2.5-hour drive from San Francisco (Highway 101 to Highway 1). If flying, Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) is the closest option at about 90 minutes east. You'll want a car here -- the winding coastal roads are half the adventure.



Other Things to Note:

Fireplace is not available for guest use. Garage is off access and not available for guest use. 2 cars can fit in the driveway



Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
