Your cottage is the Half Timbered Cottage. It is to the right of the Lichen Manor.

Originally commissioned by world-renowned seascape artist E. John Robinson and his wife June, the home (Lichen Manor) was inspired by their travels through the English countryside in the late 1970s and early '80s. Designed to echo the timeless elegance of a traditional half-timbered cottage, this residence is both a personal legacy and a living piece of art.

E. John Robinson (1932–2008) was celebrated for his breathtaking seascapes—over 4,000 in his lifetime—and was featured on four Reader’s Digest covers. His art instruction books and best-selling videos brought his passion to students around the world. The main manor was his retreat, a space of reflection, creativity, and natural beauty.

Today, the home has been thoughtfully re-imagined by its current owner—also an artist—who was inspired by the soul of the space and the legacy left behind. While preserving the original heart of the home, they introduced a warm, country-modern style. Yellow pine resewn flooring, imported from a Georgia mill, sets the tone.

(There are 3 homes on this property. Each has their own private access. Not to each others homes. Each one is rented out separately as a whole unit.)

Surrounded by lush pygmy and redwood forest, the property is a peaceful sanctuary where nature, comfort, and artistry converge. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning, curled up reading a book, or enjoying the textures and fine craftsmanship throughout the cottage, every detail is designed to help you relax, recharge, and feel truly at home.

Highlights:

*Located in beautiful coastal Mendocino on 20 acres, 6 minutes from downtown Mendocino

*Authentic English-style cottage designed by E. John Robinson

*Completely renovated with modern country flair

*Custom walnut kitchen & artisan woodwork

*Breathtaking English-style gardens throughout the property

*Surrounded by majestic pygmy and redwood forest.

*Lush pond with Koi fish, turtles, and frogs

A unique artistic retreat, rich in history and inspiration

Come experience Mendocino through the eyes of an artist. This is more than a vacation home—it's a celebration of creativity, comfort, and coastal California charm.
