Nye Ranch House
Location: Fort Bragg, North Coast, California, USA (2 miles north of Fort Bragg, 10 miles north of Mendocino)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 16)
The Nye Ranch is the perfect setting for group or family retreats, and intimate weddings!!
This is a unique, 100 year old, 6-acre ocean-view property on the California coast. The Nye Ranch was originally a 100-acre dairy. The home is tastefully furnished with antiques, and decorated with art by local artists; giving it a warm lived in, but up to date feel. There is a private path to the beach. For those of you who have stayed here before...welcome back!!
There are llamas and horses on the property. You can view whales, an extraordinary variety of birds, deer, and other wildlife from the private oceanview deck, or from the spotting scope inside the house. The Nye Ranch practices organic farming and has an organic vegetable garden.
Immediately fronting the property is an oceanfront pedestrian road where you can walk, jog, or bike for miles (no cars). It is now open all the way into the town of Fort Bragg. The "haul" road (as it is called) is fabulous for family bike rides or peaceful seaside walks. MacKerricher State Park is an easy walk or bike ride, 1/2 mile north. The town of Fort Bragg is 2 miles south.
This is a great comfortable home for a large family gathering but may not be suitable for people with extreme allergies due to the animals and native grasses at the ranch. Wonderful for all ages!! The Nye Ranch is a highly scenic, special place that you will never forget.
The Nye Ranch was used as a location in the feature length film The Calm at The Edge of the Sea and in the short film Hallelujah. It has hosted movie making crews, musical recording artists, screenwriters, nurses, yoga retreats, various women's and men's groups, diving and kayaking groups, small weddings, as well as family get togethers.
The property is wonderfully suited for group retreats as there is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy family and friends, while still being able to escape and find solitude, serenity, and peace of mind. It's the perfect getaway!!

6/17/07 What an absolutely lovely and perfect home you have for a family to come and have a wonderful time together. We didn't have to worry about a thing-your home is so well-equipped, beautifully decorated and perfectly situated on the coast. We loved your deck-the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening. Thanks so much and maybe someday we'll have a chance to return.

8/16/07 Thank you for allowing our families to come and stay. We had four generations for a portion of our visit. We have stayed at other places on the coast but we always feel at home here at the Nye Ranch. The kitchen was so very well stocked with pans, knives and dishes-we have several cooks! All of us can not wait to come back next year!

I've been trying to think of how to express my gratitude for this amazin place and our unforgettable family reunion/birthday celebration. It exceeded my hopes. The beach cruiser rides, hanging out on the deck, basketball games, tidepooling, and hanging out at night in the comfortable living room. This place is so full of character. We are sad to leave and hope to be able to come again.
