About this property

Oceanfront Elk Cottage - Deck, Views & 7 Acres

Summary:

Elk Rock Beach Cottage



The Space:

The open ocean and the spectacular cliffs of the Northern California Coast unfold before you at this incredibly positioned oceanfront cottage in Elk! Set on a breathtaking bluff, you'll be able to watch unforgettable sunsets from a viewing deck that sits above the crashing waves and Elk Rock below. You'll have a 180-degree vantage point of the entire coastline, more than seven acres of oceanfront land, and a darling, beach-y cottage to welcome you home.



An ideal escape for whale-watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those simply seeking a beautiful retreat, this light-filled home is full of casual elegance - from the bleached wood beams to the plush, wrought iron beds. Start your day off with the view of the ocean, prepare breakfast on updated appliances in the kitchen, and grill outside on the deck for lunch overlooking the water.



Perfect for all nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts - you can explore wild beaches, dramatic vistas, go kayaking, diving or surfing! You'll find it all on this majestic stretch of shoreline. This home sits just over a mile south of the town of Elk and Greenwood State Beach, 11 miles south of the historic Albion River Bridge (the last wooden bridge in operation on Highway 1), and 18 miles south of charming downtown Mendocino.



If you hop in the car for a drive up the coast, you can make scenic stops at Navarro Beach (8 miles north), Navarro River Redwoods State Park (11 miles northeast), Mendocino Headlands State Park (19 miles north), Russian Gulch State Park (21 miles north), and the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens (25 miles north). To the south, the Point Arena Lighthouse (18 miles south) is famous for its wonderful sunsets.

Beautiful ocean view

This property is located on Highway One right on the edge of a cliff. The views are stunning. The house could use some minor upgrades such as a newer dining room table and chairs (chairs felt loose) and kitchen needs some minor updating. Those details aside the stay was awesome and the pros outweigh any cons in our opinion. We would definitely stay here again.

Elk Rock is a gem!

This property is great! It has a farmhouse feel but has been updated where needed. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are small but so comfortable. The highlight is the deck leading to the cliffs above the ocean. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return!
