Description

Minutes to Mendocino. A World Apart. Just two miles from the historic seaside village of Mendocino, meadow, forest, and sky come together in one of the North Coast's most distinctive landscapes. 2.35 private acres, bordered by Jackson Demonstration State Forest and surrounded by Mendocino's rare pygmy redwood forest, offer a setting of uncommon beauty and quiet.Hidden behind a private gate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property feels peacefully removed while remaining just minutes from the village's galleries, restaurants, shops, dramatic coastline, and beaches. Spend an afternoon at Big River Beach, where the Big River meets the Pacific, wander the headlands, or discover one of the many small coves and beaches tucked along the coast. The local K-8 school is approximately a mile and a half away, with the high school conveniently located in the village itself.Beautifully designed and thoughtfully updated, the residence welcomes family and friends with an open-concept floor plan created for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. The living area flows naturally into a well-appointed kitchen featuring high-end appliances, a deep farmhouse sink, abundant custom cabinetry, and nearly sixteen feet of quartzite countertop and peninsula workspace. Just beyond, a wraparound redwood deck extends the living space outdoors, offering a place to enjoy morning coffee, gather with friends, or simply sit quietly among the meadow and trees.A separate sunken den with high ceilings provides a more intimate retreat--ideal for reading, watching a favorite film, or simply enjoying the quiet.Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary with thoughtfully integrated built-in storage, including dressers and generous closet space. One full bath serves the main level, while a second full bath upstairs features tasteful contemporary tile and timeless finishes.Close enough to enjoy Mendocino on a whim. Far enough away to feel you've left the rest of the world behind.
