Casa Del Mar - Ocean-view Sea Ranch home with private hot tub & fireplace

Settle into a home where the ocean is always part of the conversation. End the day in your private hot tub with the ocean as your soundtrack. A warm fire and ocean views anchor cozy evenings in. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. A short walk from the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Hear the surf from your pillow and watch the waves from your coffee spot.

With an open view of the coastal meadow and the Pacific Ocean just beyond, this home showcases a classic Sea Ranch landscape in bright, comfortable style. The main living space is upstairs on the second floor, maximizing the view with large picture windows and an open layout that brings together the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. You can prepare meals using every essential kitchen appliance (including double ovens and a gas range), and sit down to enjoy them at the island breakfast bar or the dining table for six. The living room, with its sectional sofa and wall-mounted flatscreen TV, is a place to play board games in the warmth of the gas fireplace, use the telescope to watch for whale spouts, or open the glass doors to the deck to let in the ocean breeze.

As you come home each afternoon from a hike on the Bluff Trail, a swim at the Del Mar Recreation Center, or a morning at the beach, you'll find a deck space out back with a gas grill, a picnic area beneath the trees, and a sheltered, private hot tub.

This home is located at the edge of an open meadow on the west side of Highway 1 in Sea Ranch. The Del Mar Recreation Center - with its heated outdoor pool, saunas, and two tennis courts - is a quarter-mile down the road; an access point to the oceanfront Bluff Trail is just as close to the south. Walk On Beach is less than a mile south, the Sea Ranch Golf Links are one mile north, and downtown Gualala - where you'll find the charming Surf Market, Trinks Cafe, and other shops and conveniences - is three miles north.

December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.
