Oceanfront estate with private hot tub & courtyard on the bluffs

Summary:

Perched on the bluffs where the Sonoma Coast meets the sky, this home delivers drama. End the day in your private hot tub with the ocean as your soundtrack. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific. Room for 8 in this 4-bedroom home. Just a 8-minute walk to the heated community pool. Whale watching, sunset hikes, and starlit skies -- the coast is calling. Morning coffee tastes different when the view is the Pacific -- and it never gets old.



The Space:
>Take in a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean, the coastal meadow, and redwood-covered hills at this four-bedroom, oceanfront home in Sea Ranch. You'll be mere steps from the oceanfront Bluff Trail and the Del Mar Meadow Trail, with a private hot tub and a courtyard to come home to.



This home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac at Del Mar Point, within walking distance of Tide Pool Beach, the Sea Ranch Golf Links, Gualala Point Regional Park, and the Del Mar Recreation Center - one of three rec centers you'll have passes to with a pool, tennis courts, and saunas.



The work of AIA architect Dan Levin, the house was designed and built around a central courtyard - a serene, sheltered space to barbecue in the afternoons, dine in the evenings, and marvel at the night sky from the warmth of the hot tub.



The single-level interior is accented by travertine floors, clerestory windows, and walls of west-facing glass that frame the meadow and ocean. The great room is a natural gathering space with 16-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a built-in window seat for reading and whale-watching. Any home cook will feel at home in the open kitchen offering Bosch double ovens, a Gaggenau gas stovetop, a Subzero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and fir cabinetry.



Spend your evenings marveling at the sunset, playing board games at the dining room table, and streaming or screening movies on the TV and DVD player. Of the three bedrooms, all have soft wool carpeting and two open directly to the courtyard.

Getting Around:

Heads up -- there is an active construction project on the neighboring lot. Work typically takes place on weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM, and occasionally on weekends. While it may result in some noise during those hours, evenings and most weekends remain peaceful and quiet.



Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
