While many of our visitors come to enjoy the area in general, this superlative 4 bedroom, 4 bath oceanfront refuge is itself an alluring destination. Exceptional design points include the large outdoor hot tub, radiant warm floor heat, huge vaulted ceilings upstairs, and a bathroom in each bedroom. In addition, the superb furnishings, and dramatic great room promise real comfort and a superior vacation.

The second floor great room boasts a tremendous stone fireplace that would be equally at home in an Irish manor! There’s lots of cozy seating, including a roomy window seat that provides a front row view of the ocean. You can also relax with satellite TV, VCR, or enjoy your favorite music on the CD/cassette stereo system. There is a half-bath off the great room.

The open kitchen is very nicely equipped, including a gas Thermador range. There is a charcoal BBQ available, also. The distinctive round dining table seats eight comfortably, and includes a central rotating platform for effortless serving.

Rounding out the second floor is the large master suite. This lovely space has a king bed, gas fireplace, spacious bathroom and even a spot to curl up with a good book!

The first floor offers two oceanside guest suites, each with a queen bed, bathroom with shower, and French doors facing the bluff. The third downstairs suite has a king bed, gas fireplace and bathroom.

This home is perfect for a golf weekend, and 18-hole The Sea Ranch golf course is just a short walk away. Also nearby are the bluff trail, Gualala Point Park (the large sandy beach marking the northern tip of Sea Ranch) and lots of quiet private roads perfectly suited to biking rides or long walks. The nearest recreation center (with swimming pool, tennis courts and more) is less than two miles south.
