The Neighborhood
Abalone Bay is a true waterfront property with private beach access, allowing you to step out and explore the tide pools and coastline. The Sea Ranch community offers 50 miles of natural trails winding from the ocean bluffs, through grassy meadows, and into majestic redwood forests.
This property is immersed in a vibrant coastal environment. You may encounter local wildlife, including deer, raccoons, and various birds. Please be aware that you are in a natural setting.
Getting Around
Parking is available for one vehicle in the garage, with an additional uncovered carport. The community is best explored on foot via the extensive trail network, but a car is recommended for visiting nearby towns and attractions.
