About this property

Private Courtyard with Hot Tub... Ocean View...2 min. walk to bluff

TOT ID# 1915.
Welcome to Castlehaven, our beautiful light-filled haven designed by noted local architect Bob Hartstock. Just a two minute walk from the Scenic Bluff Top Trail and Salal Cove, our house is located in the desirable north end of Sea Ranch. We are only a mile from the charming town of Gualala.

This lovingly and beautifully decorated home includes original artwork by a local artist, a private office, 2 master suite bedrooms, plus a private guest bedroom and 2 1/2 baths. The open living room borders on a dining area that seats 4, a music nook with a baby grand piano, and a fully-equipped kitchen with bar implements and glassware.

Outside in our spacious and private courtyard, you will enjoy outdoor dining, access to a BBQ, and a wonderful, soothing hot tub with a view of the night skies. Wildlife is abundant here. Wake to the sounds of the Ocean, and enjoy seeing birds, deer and fox right outside your window, and from the front patio.

The first master suite has French doors leading to a lovely private garden, and a large, heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The second master has a gorgeous view of the golf course and the ocean beyond. The third bedroom is a very private haven separate from the main house, across the courtyard from the hot tub. All bedrooms have queen size beds with memory foam mattresses. A washer and dryer are available, including soaps, and fabric softeners.

For our guest's enjoyment, we have a huge selection of books, movies on DVD, CDs, "streaming" TV, DirecTV and board games to while away your time when you are relaxing after being immersed in nature and all the activities of Sea Ranch. Please be aware that the fireplaces are non-functional because of problems with smoke and soot. Besides the Bluff Top Trail, there are three recreation centers with heated swimming pools, saunas, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, 50+ miles of hiking trails, mountain biking trails, beautiful coastal views and hidden waterfalls. All this awaits you here at Castlehaven.

52nd Anniversary
Great location and loved being so close to town. The hot tub was super clean and so relaxing. While the fireplaces are not usable, the home has a GREAT heating system that made the home so comfortable even when cold and/or rainy outside. Loved having one of the master suites on the ground floor so there were no stairs to climb. Only stairs necessary were two from the ground floor to the living/dining area. Only disappointment was that the greatest window to use to watch the ocean waves seems to have a leak between the panels causing condensation and takes the beautiful view away. The host was wonderful to work with, even staying on the phone until he was sure we had access to the key to get into the house. Castlehaven will defintely be put on our list of homes to visit again.

Great Location, Comfortable Beds
The location of this property makes it easy to access the bluff walking trail which is beautiful. The three bedrooms have very comfortable beds. The third bedroom is a detached studio space, not in the house itself. Kitchen is well appointed so we were able to cook all our meals easily. Hot tub is situated in the private patio which made it more comfortable and protected from the gusty winds.

Respite from the storm
Very happy with location at Sea Ranch. Very well appointed. And very roomy. We could separate as needed. Especially w studio room detached. Ours was a stormy weekend so we just holed in and read and watched movies and cooked. We will definitely rent again.

Why they chose this property

Our first trip to Sea Ranch was 25 years ago. We had a wonderful experience, and kept coming back at least annually in future years. We finally realized that it was time to purchase in this beautiful community, where the neighbors are drawn together by their shared vision of "living lightly on the land."

What makes this property unique

There were a number of Sea Ranch properties available when we were looking throughout the years, but we were drawn to Castlehaven because of its soaring ceilings in every room, its graceful curves, and the sound of the ocean from its french doors that open to the front patio. After we purchased Castlehaven, we were fortunate to be able to work with the original architect to make some necessary updates and changes.
