Gualala home with ocean views & redwood canopy near Anchor Bay

Summary:

Fog, sun, and sea -- the ever-changing coastal light makes every morning feel new. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific. Room for 6 in this 2-bedroom home. Restaurants and local shops are a short drive away. Small-town pace, big coastal beauty -- that's Gualala. Sea stacks and tide pools frame the coastline, with harbor seals often sunning on the rocks below. Summer fog burns off by midday, leaving warm afternoons perfect for trail hikes and tidepooling.


>The Space:

A canopy of redwood treetops and the wide Pacific Ocean extend out before you at this serene architectural gem, spectacularly situated in the sunbelt of Gualala. Relax in luxe comfort, find time for hiking and yoga, and take in the natural wonders of the Northern California Coast.



This light-filled home is beautifully secluded on a hillside overlooking the ocean, just two miles up the road from the small town of Anchor Bay. Fish Rock Beach (two miles), downtown Gualala (five miles), the Gualala Arts Center (six miles), Gualala Point Regional Park (eight miles), and renowned wineries in Annapolis (20 miles) are all close by.



This peaceful property is a showcase of its surroundings, with a multi-tiered deck wrapping around three sides of the house. Sip your morning coffee outside, linger with a good book in the afternoons, and watch the nightly sunsets illuminate the ocean, the sky, and the treetops below.



Whether you spend your days surfing or beachcombing, the house provides a quiet respite at the end of the day. The split-level interior has been renovated throughout, offering all-new luxury amenities and appliances, rich details of natural wood, and windows framing the view at every turn.



At the heart of the house is a striking kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and a live-edge center island. Gather around the dining room table for dinner and board games, retreat to the sunken living room for movies streamed on the smart TV, and sleep soundly in two bedrooms - each paired with a bathroom.
