You enter through the gate into a beautifully landscaped private garden connecting the home, cottage and two car garage. Inside, the main house is spacious and refined – everything you’d expect from a thoughtfully designed modern retreat. The great room features a stunning dining and living area with fireplace and amazing views all around as well as a cozy corner for reading. The state-of-the-art kitchen leads to the spacious outdoor entertainment area with BBQ and fire pit. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends in a magical setting overlooking the ocean. Upstairs is the luxurious primary suite with two bathrooms and walk-in closets. There’s an office space off the foyer, a powder room down the hallway and an exercise room with ocean views on the lower level. One of the features the owners love most is the detached cottage. It’s a retreat to play guitar or just be quiet with your thoughts, but it also doubles as a cozy space for visiting friends. Everyone who stays says the same thing: I didn’t realize how much I needed this.” Whether it’s the fog rolling in through the trees or the sight of deer grazing just outside the window, nature has a way of humbling and healing you here. Sea Ranch amenities are endless incl. 50+ miles of scenic trails and recreation centers with tennis, pickle ball, pools and sauna. The nearby town adds just the right touch – casual, low-key, and welcoming, with enough essentials to keep things easy, but never noisy or crowded. You can stroll along the bluff trail in the morning, read by the fireplace in the afternoon, and cook dinner while watching the sun dip into the ocean. For the owners, Sea Ranch has become more than a getaway – it’s a way of living. One that feels especially precious after years of busy city life. It’s where they come to reconnect, to exhale, to remember what matters. If you’ve been craving a place that honors both your need for beauty and your need for peace, this home may be exactly what you’re looking for.
