200 Acre Modern Mendocino Hot Springs Escape
| Sleeps | 11 |
| Bedrooms | 3 |
| Bathrooms | 1 |
| Property type | farmhouse |
| Minimum Stay | 2 nights |
Overview
Farmhouse, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6-8) + Glam Camping
Longview Ranch is a modern home set atop 200 acres of private land. Originally an industrial workshop, Longview is now a home of modern luxury juxtaposed against dramatic wilderness.
As one of the private ranches on Orr Springs Road, Longview is a perfect hot springs escape, wine country stopover, family vacation, artist gathering or civilized rambling holiday.
While Longview's private grounds provide endless opportunities for adventure, the ranch is just a mile from Orr Hot Springs Resort, where visitors can partake in the resort's day services. A few miles away is Montgomery Woods, a pristine redwood grove. Day trips include Mendocino Village, Anderson Valley's wine country and Hopland.
FOODIES:
Longview's gourmet kitchen, two 10 person tables (one indoor, one outdoor) and setting make it well-suited for intimate gatherings around food, both in preparation and eating. An extensive collection of Heath dinnerware - Sausalito's celebrated mid-century ceramics - ensures feasting in modern style. A picnic lunch on one of the property's scenic outlooks is also highly recommended. Ukiah's Food Coop and local culture make fresh fixings easily accessible.
FAMILIES:
Longview is owned by a family with young children, and provides 2 portable cribs, toys and creative endeavors for children of all ages. There is a fort-like bedroom for children to pile into, and each Queen bedroom is large enough to share with children. A 1000 square feet of open studio space is great for messy projects and after dark roller derbies. A huge porch and fenced acre of yard make it easy for parents to let kids run freely. There is also a hilltop fairy ring for picnics, tea parties and tree climbs with views to boot. Longview is baby proofed for electrics, cooking, windows and staircase. Basic First Aid is provided, and Ukiah's hospital can be reached within 20 minutes.
DESIGNERS & ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE:
As a commitment to the design, painting and sculpture community in Mendocino, we offer two one-week residencies each year to qualified applicants. Interested parties should send portfolio samples and a letter of intent for use of the ranch during residency.
Keywords: Mendocino, Ranchland, Modern Design, Dramatic Views, Near Orr Hot Springs Resort & Montgomery Redwoods Park. Day trips to Anderson Valley, Mendocino Village and Hopland. Great for family gatherings, rambling, hiking, biking, wine country tours or weekend escapes. Proposals for larger gatherings considered on an individual basis.
About The Owner
I'm an industrial designer and Montessori teacher. I've worked the full range of design assignments (e.g. Lifefactory's glass drinking bottle, Schwab's on-line trading platform and social innovation projects for PopTech). I'm currently extremely interested in the design principles Maria Montessori applied towards childhood development, and am honored to work in the classrooms at Marin Montessori each school year; summers are filled with design consulting in children's play spaces. My work at Longview is a continuous effort in creating modern welcome to small gatherings in a natural setting.
My husband is a floppy-haired Englishman with no apparent end to his talents. We met in London, had babies in Brooklyn and now work in the Bay Area. We have a shared passion for wilderness, modern design.
The Owner purchased this farmhouse in 2011
Why The Owner chose North Coast
Longview is a labor of love and opportunity for re-balancing our frenetic urban lives. The property provides a juxtaposition between nature and modern dwelling, which we love, and is instrumental in restoring all the physical and emotional and tanks that run dry in our frenetic urban lifestyle. It's also a perfect place for us to create adventure while catching-up with our friends and family.
We also love witnessing the positive impact that the expansive, deeply remote, space has on adults and children especially.
What makes this farmhouse unique
We love to escape the Bay Area to our projects at Longview on weekends. The ranch gives us a chance to practice the basic skills of modern farming; the nicest ways to experience Longview is to work on the land. We garden, cut wood, harvest olives or apples or prepare an campfire for an evening of stargazing.

Wonderful!

Had a lovely time!
had a great time at Heidi's house and she was always so responsive and helpful leading up to our stay. House has an awesome playroom with fun costumes, toys and games for the little and big kids alike. We liked the hammocks, swings, and balance rope on the property as well. Cooking in the house was easy- well equipped with All-Clad pots and iron cast pans and nice propane gas grill. Watching the sunset in then hot tub and fire pit while roasting marshmallows at night was also awesome. We had a big group so we slept outside in a tent and it was comfortable and so pretty to fall asleep under the stars.
If being really nitpicky, some of the things that guests could think as being negatives are that the house is about half a mile up a gravel road from the main road, there is only one bathroom, rooms in the house arent really insulted for sound, and there can be little bugs that come in from outside.
we didn't really mind these things though and would stay here again! Thanks Heidi!
Magical retreat with breathtaking views!
We feel so lucky to have found this very special home for our family to relax unwind and be together in nature! All the little details, the great communication, and more made this a truly memorable vacation for us ~ can't wait to go back!!! Thank you Heidi 💚🌿🌲
Phenomenal property, incredible views
Sunsets will never be the same after our stay in the gorgeous hills of Ukiah. The property was incredible, house perfectly positioned up on a bluff above wooded valleys. The house was creative, full of fun and comfortable spaces for our creative group to explore. Kitchen was perfect for a large group, and we made full use of it. Heidi was an amazing host, responsive and generous with many great tips. Can't say enough wonderful things about the stay and hope to return soon.
More than I expected, loved the modern decor!
First and foremost Heidi, even though she was traveling, was VERY responsive. I chose this beautiful location (mainly based on the mid century modern decor!), and I was more than pleased. This was a 40th bday weekend getaway with friends, and their kids. I think the kids had the best time!
The HUGE side room with every amenity you could think of for recreation and kids was amazing. Even the adults had a blast in there. I had friends bring dj equipment and set it up on the ping pong table, and it was perfect.
There is more than enough space to fit a ton of people. It's modern, cozy, has everything you need, the awesome kitchen was supplied to the max, that we only needed to bring food. The 6 burner chefs stove was gorgeous, we bbqd on the propane grill on the expansive patio. Evenings were spent in the spa gazing at the stars. Mornings were spent watching the fog fade away and sitting the in the misty air.
A couple friends went hiking, jogging, on the many acres.
Heidi was very detailed in driving directions, making sure we drove up in the daytime, as the roads are very wind-y.
Such an amazing retreat we are already considering future getaways here!
amazing, relaxing get away
Our family had an incredible time at the Longview Ranch. The home is well designed in modern industrial style. There were endless activities for our 5 yo twins both inside and outside the house. Tranquil setting with absolutely stunning views!
A DREAM!!!
I can't believe I found a place that was even better than any expectations, better than a dream. The location is simply perfect, on top of the hill, into the wild, completely isolated, with only dears and birds around. The sunset is gorgeous and the night sky leaves you without words.The house is a perfect balance of a modern renovation of a rustic warehouse. I think the owner contributed to give to this place an incredible positive energy. I spent a weekend with a group of more than 20 people who slept in a tent and had an unforgettable experience. Everybody loved the place that has everything you can need for you or for your kids, included an amazing kitchen and a gorgeous hot tub on top of the hill!!!
Heidi was always prompt in responding and very nice to accomodate all our needs.
This place touch my heart and I can't wait to come back.
