Location: Sea Ranch, North Coast, California, USA (On the Pacific Ocean Coast, 110 miles North of San Francisco)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 3)
The Sea Ranch is a world-renowned primary and secondary home community along a 10-mile stretch of California's most breathtaking, beautiful coastline. The Sea Ranch is particularly famous for its strict architectural standards, following the motto "building light on the land." (Houses intentionally have unobtrusive sidings and modest appearance in order to optimally blend into the environment). Casa Pacis shares three lot lines with common areas, and the 4th with an undeveloped lot, which provides for exceptional privacy. The Sea Ranch territory includes tens of miles of private roads, many hiking trails, three recreation centers that are open to renters, and a challenging 18-hole golf course. Features such as no street lighting, fences not to mark lot lines but only to shield cars from outside view, no overhead power lines, no sidewalks, and no roof-top antennas clearly differentiate Sea Ranch from normal "suburbia."
Located directly above the Sea Ranch's most beautiful sand dunes, at a cul-de-sac near "Walk-on-Beach," this cozy home has picturesque ocean views from every room. Our "House of Peace" has large wrap-around decks and lots of privacy.
The "Casa Pacis" home has approximately 1150 square feet of rented living area, including a view loft. It features ceramic tile floors and wall-to-wall carpets, as well as vaulted ceilings in all rooms. Large windows, comfortable furniture, a cozy conventional open fireplace, and decor will contribute to making your stay pleasant and memorable. The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances. Enjoy the extra-large deck area with built-in hot tub (with ocean view), and the overall uniquely private yet close-to-ocean setting.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1984
Why the Owner Chose Sea Ranch
We discovered Sea Ranch shortly after we had immigrated to this country, and immediately fell in love with it, probably because it reminded us in natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast in Italy and in climate of the German North Sea islands. We were able to purchase our lot and built Casa Pacis in 1983 and enjoyed every minute of our numerous stays in this gorgious environment ever since. It is remarkable that, even though many years passed since we first visited Sea Ranch, the unique character of this incredible place has been preserved.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Before we built, we had rented numerous different homes at Sea Ranch, and Unit 28, where Casa Pacis is located, became our favorite, with its beautiful "Walk-on Beach," full of driftwood and ideal for sandcastle building, and with the only real sand dunes in all of Sea Ranch. We were delighted when we found our lot, which is very close to these treasures of the Sea Ranch landscape. We can now look from essentially anywhere inside Casa Pacis at these sand dunes and the waves breaking into the cove of Walk-on Beach.
