Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1983, this 41-year-old property is meticulously maintained but remains largely dated with original redwood countertops and 1980s-style finishes. While the stainless steel appliances are newer, the overall age of the home and its systems exceeds the 20-year threshold for 'Fair' condition, suggesting a need for future updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 20473, living area = 1228.
Nestled among redwoods and bordering both TSR commons and timber land, this property offers exceptional privacy and a tranquil 'Zen' atmosphere that is highly sought after in The Sea Ranch.
The home features extensive outdoor amenities, including a unique full-length roof deck, a private hot tub, and an outdoor shower, perfectly designed to maximize the wooded environment.
With only 1,228 square feet split across two levels, the interior living spaces and bedrooms may feel restrictive for buyers seeking a more expansive floor plan.
The property backs up to Gualala Redwood Timber Company land; while currently forested, periodic select-harvesting in the area could occasionally impact the surrounding views and quietude.
Surrounded by redwood trees, this meticulously maintained two-story, two bedroom and two bathroom cottage is secluded in a world all its own. Turn into the long gravel driveway, park your car, and leave your cares behind. Enter directly into the great room, furnished with comfort in mind. The Lopi propane fireplace is controlled by a thermostat and keeps this little cabin warm and comfy, while the many large windows capture the beautiful, wooded setting from every room. The covered front porch faces the forest and is the perfect place to relax in the morning or evening. On the back deck, an outdoor shower and hot tub spa sit within a fenced enclosure, offering privacy and enjoyment of the evening stars or morning sunrise beneath the redwood trees. The large deck runs the length of the house and is ideal for barbecuing, outdoor dining, and entertaining. The picnic table with benches is the real deal, and the beautiful Dolphin bench adds to the gorgeous park setting. It is made for a Zen moment. The kitchen has redwood countertops, newer stainless-steel appliances, and is fully equipped. The washer and dryer are located in the small pantry room at the front entrance. There is also an outdoor garden shed, an enclosed rented propane tank, and two metal bear boxes for trash collection. The guest bedroom downstairs has a full bathroom with tub and shower. The upstairs primary bedroom also has a full bathroom with tub and shower, a walk-in closet, and a door to the flat roof deck that runs the length of the home, providing forest views in all directions. The generous sized lot backs up to a forested area owned by Gualala Redwood Timber Company. GRT has select-harvested a few trees from their property in the past. The wooded property on the west side is part of TSR commons and expands the forested area that hugs this property. As featured in Sunset Magazine, this beautiful home built by Pacific Frontier Homes is located at the northern edge of The Sea Ranch, giving it easy access to the town of Gualala as well as the Sea Ranch Golf Links. The Sea Ranch trail system is close by, and it is an easy walk down to the Pacific Ocean or up into the surrounding forest. The wildlife is abundant and awe-inspiring. Come be awed and enjoy what nature has to offer.
