Summary:brbrThis Sea Ranch home frames the Pacific like a painting -- and the view changes by the hour. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Curl up by the fireplace as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Room for 6 in this 2-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Nothing resets your pace like watching the tide come and go from your own living room.brbrbrbrThe Space:brbrLeave behind your worries with a long-overdue getaway to California's striking Sonoma Coast. This Sea Ranch home provides the perfect way to appreciate the pristine natural beauty of the area, with ocean views from every room, access to one of Sea Ranch’s favorite beaches for nature lovers, a private hot tub, and shared amenities like pools, saunas, and tennis.brbrbrbrTucked away in the unique community of The Sea Ranch, this classic ocean bluff home has ocean views from every room. Nearby rec centers provide structured activities, including swimming in the shared pools, yoga classes, and fun games of tennis and pickleball. With a private hot tub waiting for you, however, it's tempting to just sit back and breathe in the fresh ocean air or take in the awe-inspiring view of the stars (minimal light pollution at Sea Ranch).brbrbrbrLike many Sea Ranch homes, the Blue Heron was designed to integrate the indoor and outdoor environment using rustic wood, stone, multiple decks, window seats, and lots of light. While retaining these classic Sea Ranch features, the Blue Heron is newer than most homes at Sea Ranch, built in 2002 by notable architect Ted Smith. Over the past year, the owners have installed new carpet, refinished kitchen cabinets, and new windows and skylights. In 2023, brand new kitchen appliances were installed.brbrbrbrThe Blue Heron has an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger available for guests and the house is powered using solar energy, reflecting the owner's commitment to clean energy.brbrbrbrThe house includes modern amenities such as a new kitchen, passive solar (the house is always a comfortable temperature), spacious rooms with modern furnishings, and high-speed wireless internet standing side-by-side with rich wooden columns and ceiling beams, slate stone floors, and wide windows to the forest and beach views outside. Watercolors throughout the house were done by an award-winning Maine artist.brbrbrbrAll the basic appliances and high-quality clad cookware are present and accounted for, along with several options for coffeemaking -espresso, chemex, an automatic coffee maker, and a conical burr coffee grinder (bring fresh whole beans) for coffee lovers - and a Chatsford teapot for tea lovers. There is a full set of spices to liven up your cooking. Gaze at the bushy, gnarled branches dancing in the wind as you prepare a delicious meal, which you can savor with your loved ones at the adjacent indoor table for six - or at the outside table with views and the feel of the ocean breeze. Afterwards, treat yourself to a cup of hot cocoa as you settle in for the evening by the fireplace. Enjoy movie night, using the state-of-the-art entertainment options.brbrbrbrSix guests can stay in this two- bedroom home, making it a good choice for families, intergenerational gatherings, and small groups of friends.brbrbrbrThe primary bedroom offers a king-size bed for adults, a large walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom. The slate-lined shower is built for two with double showerheads. Attached to the primary bedroom is a spacious study with bookcases, a large desk, a single bed, TV, and comfortable chairs. It’s the perfect place for quiet since it is separate from the main living space. Go ahead and catch up on work emails, or read a book, or do a little yoga (the house has yoga mats available) all while looking out over the Pacific Ocean.brbrbrbrFrom both the primary bedroom and the study there are multiple ways to appreciate the beauty of the area - up close thanks to quick deck access, or from afar through windows with direct ocean views over a protected meadow. In this room, you can pull out a classic children’s book from the bookcase and read to your child or grandchild in an overstuffed chair while you watch the sun paint the horizon pink and orange as it dips beneath the waves.brbrbrbrThe second bedroom, located on the other wing of the house, has a queen bed, an en suite bathroom, access to its own porch with a small table and chairs, and a view that rivals the primary bedroom, looking straight out to the ocean. Curl up on the window seat and watch the birds and the surf.brbrbrbrIn the living room, there is a queen-sized pull-out couch with extra bedding available. The sleeper sofa includes an inflatable interior so it is dreamily comfortable. The house’s two full bathrooms, along with a shared half-bathroom, make getting ready in the morning a breeze.brbrbrbrThe house is single story accessed by two stairs up to an outside porch and another single step up into the house. Inside the Blue Heron there are no elevated thresholds so access from room to room is unrestricted. There is a bathtub in one bedroom and a walk-in shower in the primary bath with a five-inch threshold to enter the shower. The Blue Heron owners have written up an extensive list of suggested activities with pictures and directions for guests. Just as important as the beach is the nearby Bluff Trail, which leads you through the landscape of Sea Ranch architecture as well as the waves below.brbrbrbrThe nearby area offers wine tasting at the Annapolis Winery, a mere 12-mile drive away, as well as a handful of shops and galleries in neighboring Gualala. On spring, summer, and fall Saturdays the Farmers Market in Gualala is not to be missed with fruits, vegetables, flowers and fresh baked goods.brbrbrbrSLEEPING ARRANGEMENTSbrbrChoose from 2 bedrooms, with queen beds.brbrThere is also a library adjoining the master bedroom with a single bed, and a queen size pullout bed in the living room.brbrAltogether, the home comfortably sleeps 6.brbrbrbrPROPERTY AMENITIESbrbr-- 2 bedrooms, 2 bath + 1 half bathbrbr-- Private hot tubbrbr-- Gas fireplacebrbr-- EV chargerbrbrbrbrCOMMUNITY AMENITIES (at Sea Ranch recreation centers)brbr-- Heated pools and saunas (at Del Mar, Moonraker, and Ohlson rec centers)brbr-- Tennis and pickleball courts (at rec centers)brbr-- Miles of coastal bluff trailsbrbrbrbrGuest Access:brbrThe entire home is yours to enjoy -- make yourself at home from the moment you arrive.

Summary:brbrOpen the curtains to the Pacific -- this Sea Ranch home offers ocean views from the living room. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Step outside to a deck overlooking the ocean. Room for 4 in this 1-bedroom home.The Sea Ranch Lodge is a short drive away. Miles of bluff-top trails and hidden beaches are yours to explore. On still nights the stars are overwhelming -- no city light for miles in any direction.brbrbrbrThe Space:brbrThis is one of Sea Ranch’s fifteen historic “walk-in” vacation cabins—an award-winning, Obie Bowman–designed retreat where redwood-clad walls, generous skylights, and a second-story deck among the trees put the landscape at the center of the stay. The cabin was sited to minimize impact on the land: compact footprint, nearly 90% of the parcel left as natural preserve, and a slower arrival rhythm—parking is at the shared Walk-In Cabin lot, with a short walk in along foot trails (plus limited loading access as noted in your arrival details).brbrbrbrLiving areabrbrCome in and let your eyes adjust to warm wood, shifting light, and big coastal sky. The living space is made for unhurried evenings: stream a show on the 50-inch TV (guest Netflix access and DVD—with a rental shop in Gualala if you want a throwback movie night), or warm up by the wood stove while the coast weather does its thing outside.brbrbrbrKitchen & diningbrbrThe kitchen is set up for real vacation cooking, with seating for your group so meals stay relaxed and unscheduled—morning coffee, long dinners, and easy snacks between hikes.brbrbrbrOutdoor livingbrbrStep out to deck and balcony living: from up here, catch a bird’s-eye whitewater view of the Pacific, then pivot into the redwood canopy just beyond the railing. It’s an ideal perch for sunset light and, in season, migrating gray whales from the bluff perspective. When you’re ready to unwind, slip into the private hot tub; on grill nights, fire up the gas grill and let the ocean breeze and forest quiet be the backdrop.brbrbrbrSleeping arrangementsbrbrUpstairs, the primary bedroom invites you to open the skylights for stars and the Milky Way—or close them and sleep in with the room still bright and airy by day. Downstairs, additional sleeping includes two twin beds and one bunk bed. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps four guests.brbrbrbrPROPERTY AMENITIESbrbr— 1 bedroom, 1 bathbrbr— Private hot tubbrbr— Wood stovebrbr— Second-story deck / balcony · ocean whitewater views · redwood settingbrbr— Historic Obie Bowman walk-in cabin architecturebrbrbrbrCOMMUNITY AMENITIES (at Sea Ranch recreation centers)brbr— Heated pools and saunas (Del Mar, Moonraker, and Ohlson)brbr— Tennis and pickleball courtsbrbr— Miles of coastal bluff trailsbrbrbrbrLocation beats (short)brbrYou’re close to forest trails at the door, with bluff trails a short hop across Highway 1, and Stengel Beach nearby.

Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.brbrbrbrGetting Around:brbrThe drive from San Francisco is approximately 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, about 1.5 hours east, and rent a car. The Highway 1 drive along the coast is spectacular and worth building into your travel day.brbrbrbrOther Things to Note:brbrWalk-in cabin & parkingbrbrThis home is part of Sea Ranch’s historic walk-in cabin cluster. You may pull up in front for loading and unloading only; overnight parking is at the Walk-In Cabin lot, a short walk from the house via foot trails (and limited loading access as described in your arrival guide).brbrbrbrConnectivitybrbrCell service and Wi‑Fi can be inconsistent here. If you need to be reachable for work or emergencies, plan ahead—we recommend downloading directions and arrival details before you arrive.brbrbrbrSea Ranch community rulesbrbrDrones are not allowed anywhere in Sea Ranch. RVs and camper vans are not permitted to park on Sea Ranch property.brbrbrbrStairs, balcony & kidsbrbrBecause of the balcony, interior stairs, and wooded surroundings, this home is not recommended for children under eight.brbrbrbrEvening light & dark skiesbrbrExterior lighting is minimal by design to protect the night sky. Bring a flashlight for evening walks—you’ll be rewarded with some of the best stargazing on the California coast.brbrbrbrSeasonal rhythmbrbrDecember–April is prime gray whale season; the bluff trails nearby are a great vantage point. April–June often brings wildflower color along the coastal bluffs. In summer, expect long days—and classic Sonoma Coast morning fog that often burns off by midday.
