View toward the Pacific Ocean from upstairs balcony of the bedroom
Location: Sea Ranch, North Coast, California, USA (On the Pacific Ocean Coast, 100 miles north of San Francisco)
Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
The Sea Ranch is internationally known and revered for its attempt to blend man-made structures with their natural setting. This most picturesque area of California, 100 miles north of San Francisco dotted with distinctive homes, spreads for about ten miles on either side of Highway One in the coastal Sonoma County. The building design is unique in its architecture, and the challenge to "live lightly on the land" is on-going.
The "Sea Pine Cottage" is one of the Meadow Homes of The Sea Ranch. It is located 400 yards from the rugged shore line, which is typical of Northern California. The wide open meadow is a natural surrounding for deer, rabbits, wild turkeys and other birds of every kind.
The privacy of this home sets the tone for your peaceful vacation. You enter into a light, contemporary place with the wonderful rich colors of the French Impressionists and art prints by the Dutch painter van Gogh. A lush meadow setting and warmly decorated living space have made the "Sea Pine Cottage" a favorite for many repeat guests over the years. For your convenience, you will find an office corner with a writing/computer desk and printer. Even books and novels have been started here.
Relax in a lounge chair on the deck or upstairs balcony and watch the wildlife move by. The ocean may be too cold for anything but wading due to its year-round temperature of 55 degrees F (13 C), but with three swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts, a golf course, and miles of hiking trails that meander along the coastal cliffs, through meadows and forests, there is no shortage of outdoor activity in the sunny yet temperate climate of Sea Ranch. Or, soak in the hot tub on the deck of the "Sea Pine Cottage" and watch the sun set over the ocean.
Even the occasional winter storms, with their high winds and driving rains, become an enjoyable experience when watched through the window, and comforted by the warmth from a crackling wood stove, a good book and something to nibble. The excellent Linkwitz Lab Pluto sound system is an invitation to listen to your favorite CD or even your iPod.
