About 37944 Sentinel Close

Dramatic white water and peaceful meadow views from this architectural gem! Perched on a gentle hillside, with commons on three sides for ultimate privacy. The trail to the bluff lies along the back property line. Built in 2002 with the idea of bringing a sailboat to land, 'Sailfish' remains true to the original Sea Ranch concept of living lightly on the land.

A 2016 addition, designed by Steve Brodie, AIA, added the 1 BR/1BA guest studio and garage. Numerous thoughtful and artistic details can be found..including Mojave Blue wall tiles, recycled glass kitchen countertops, glass tile mosaic artistry, porcelain tile floors and limestone slab stairs. Seamless indoor/outdoor living is achieved with wrap-around ocean view decks and inner courtyard, ocean view hot tub, fenced yard, heated outdoor shower/fisherman's station and a private bedroom rooftop deck.
