Ocean Sunset - Ocean-view home with private hot tub & grill, dogs welcome

Settle into a home where the ocean is always part of the conversation. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Room for 8 in this 3-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. The Sonoma Coast's best-kept secret is waiting for you. The ocean soundtrack never stops here -- waves at dawn, crashing surf at dusk.

Find the time and space to rest, reflect, and soak up the beauty of the Northern California Coast at this three-bedroom home in Sea Ranch. In this serene setting overlooking the meadow and ocean, you'll have a private hot tub, window-lined living spaces, and access to the Bluff Trail and Walk On Beach.

This home enjoys a highly desirable location within Sea Ranch, with the oceanfront Bluff Trail and the broad expanse of Walk On Beach accessible at the end of Mast Head Reach. You'll be within walking distance of the Monarch Glen, One-Eyed Jack's playground, the tidepools of Shell Beach, and the Del Mar Recreation Center - one of the three Sea Ranch rec centers with an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas for which you'll have passes. And with an electric vehicle charger (outlet only)next to the garage, you'll have no trouble reaching the Sea Ranch Golf Links, downtown Gualala, and the other beauties of Highway 1.

Each day begins and ends outside on the deck, where you'll find the hot tub, a pair of lounge chairs, and a bistro table. It's the perfect setting for watching deer graze in the meadow as you sip your coffee and crack open a book.

Inside, the house has been recently and thoughtfully updated with new hardwood floors and new, comfortable sofas. At the heart of the home is an elevated family room lined with windows, where you can look for whale spouts on the ocean horizon and gather for incredible nightly sunsets. Prepare meals with ease using stainless steel appliances and quartz counterspace in the kitchen, dine in the cozy warmth of the woodstove or central forced heat, and spend your evenings watching movies on Netflix, Hulu Live, or DVD.

Bring your pup along -- this home welcomes up to 2 dogs.
