Derived from the rugged beauty presented by The Sea Ranch hillside, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence is thoughtfully designed to showcase sweeping Pacific Ocean views through a modern interpretation of classic farmhouse architecture. Featuring a contemporary reverse floor plan, the elevated second story offers an open-concept living, dining, and entertaining space beneath a striking wine-barrel ceiling—creating a warm, welcoming ambiance framed by the ever-changing landscape of Northern Sonoma’s coastal skyline. With its proximity to world-class hiking trails and dense redwood forests, this home truly offers the wonders of nature at your very fingertips.
Purposefully envisioned for its hillside setting, the home features a covered deck and walkway leading to a two-car garage, offering protection from the coastal elements. With two en-suite bedrooms located on the lower level, the floor plan ensures a balance of private retreat and everyday livability. Expansive sliding glass doors offer separate entrances and foster a seamless connection to the surrounding natural environment.
Originally conceived in the 1960s with sustainability and environmental harmony at its core, The Sea Ranch presents a tranquil retreat where nature, art, and thoughtful design converge. Stretching along 10 miles of untouched coastline, the community celebrates regional architecture through the use of natural materials inspired by the iconic local barns. Shaped by artists, architects, and visionaries, Sea Ranch has grown into a diverse and dynamic enclave. This residence captures that spirit—your own personal sanctuary by the sea.

THE RESIDENCE
The Main Level
Arrive to a beautifully landscaped front yard with an open driveway and charming outdoor seating area. A covered walkway connects the garage to a refined front entrance, which opens into a spacious foyer complete with coat closet and shoe storage space.
An elegant wooden staircase with custom artisanal handrail leads to the upper level, where the main living space unfolds. Flooded with natural light from large-scale windows on every side, the space captures morning sun to the east, lush landscape views to the north and south, and uninterrupted ocean vistas to the west. A dramatic wood-paneled wine-barrel ceiling crowns the space, enhancing the atmosphere and drawing the eye toward the walk-out deck and expansive horizon. Enjoy front-row views of the Milky Way, stunning ocean sunsets and magnificent whale and wildlife viewing directly from the comfort of your own private deck.
The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to greet the sunrise, centered around a dining area that blends cooking and gathering. Long marble countertops offer generous prep space, framed by sleek cabinetry and modern stainless-steel appliances—including a GE gas range, LG overhead microwave, and GE French-door refrigerator—bringing both style and function to the heart of the home.
The Bedroom Level
Tucked below the main living area, the lower level is designed for comfort and privacy. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat featuring large sliding glass doors that open to a covered deck—perfect for stargazing or a breath of sea air. A spacious mirrored closet offers ample storage, while interior wood shutters allow for customized light and privacy. The en-suite bathroom includes a deep soaking tub surrounded by spa-inspired tile and a dual vanity with built-in tile finishes.
The second bedroom offers dual sliding glass door entrances for flexible access and potential private unit use. Two large closets provide generous storage, and the en-suite bath features crisp white tile and a stall shower for modern convenience.
Centrally located between the bedrooms is a guest powder room and a discreet walk-in laundry closet for easy and practical day-to-day living.

The Sea Ranch: A Coastal Masterpiece of Nature and Design
Stretching along a dramatic 10-mile expanse of the rugged Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch is more than a community—it’s a living vision of harmony between land, architecture, and the human spirit. Conceived in the 1960s by a collective of forward-thinking architects, designers, and environmentalists, The Sea Ranch was built on the pioneering idea that architecture should defer to nature, not dominate it.
Here, homes are nestled lightly into the landscape, constructed from native materials and shaped to echo the weathered barns of the North Coast. The result is a seamless integration of design with the coastal cliffs, meadows, redwood forests, and ocean bluffs that define this extraordinary region.
The community’s guiding principles—sustainability, environmental sensitivity, and aesthetic simplicity—have made it a beacon for artists, creatives, and those seeking refuge from urban life. Miles of coastal trails, secluded beaches, and preserved open spaces invite quiet reflection and outdoor adventure, while recreational amenities like tennis courts, a pool, sauna, and equestrian facilities foster a strong sense of community.
Whether you’re admiring migrating whales from a bluff-top trail, stargazing under skies free of light pollution, or simply enjoying the silence of wind moving through cypress trees, life at The Sea Ranch is an invitation to slow down, connect, and live with intention.
