Spectacular in both setting and design, this contemporary craftsman-style home perfectly captures the beautiful light, ocean views, and relaxed ambience of Mendocino and the wild beauty of the Northern California Coast. Here on the bluffs overlooking Russian Gulch and the Mendocino Headlands, you'll find blue-water ocean views in nearly every room, a great room with 18-foot ceilings and lovely exposed beams, and a wall of glass doors that open onto the ocean-facing redwood decks. A successful vacation rental, this home is configured as a single 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home, with a separate entrance that allows 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a sitting room to be used as a guest unit if wished. Come home from your daily walks on nearby beaches to savor the warmth and luxury of in-floor radiant heat, Waterford wood stoves, one of two hot tubs, and a Scandinavian-style sauna. Prepare your meals in a kitchen equipped with a Subzero refrigerator and Wolf stove while gazing at the migrating sea birds and gorgeous ocean. The primary bedroom has south and west views as well as a skylight to catch the sunrises, sunsets and even a romantic moonrise. On the property of this south-facing home, you'll find gorgeous sunrise views, and a fenced garden that can be used for quiet contemplation and enjoyment of the flowers throughout the year. Property owners and their guests have exclusive access to bluff top easements perfect for a toast at the end of a special day. Russian Gulch State Park is immediately south, and the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse State Historic Park is less than a mile north. The heart of Mendocino, a historic bluff top Village known for its charming art galleries and wonderful restaurants, is just over two miles south and bustling downtown Fort Bragg awaits to the north. Enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, wine tasting, golf, spa days and anything else your heart desires. Or just sit back and enjoy the breathtaking sunrises, awe-inspiring scenery and relaxing hot tub at the Mendocino Sunrise and Basking Lizard.
