The Sea Ranch in northern Sonoma County is a place unlike any other. One of the first eco-communities, The Sea Ranch combines award-winning architecture and stunning natural beauty that includes 10 miles of coastal shoreline and thousands of acres of open land. “Living lightly on the land” is part of everyday life at The Sea Ranch. Architecture is strictly regulated with homes and buildings within The Sea Ranch presenting a unified look of weathered timber and boxy shapes surrounded by native vegetation. But the cohesive use of materials does not mean every structure is the same. Far from it! Future residents will be happy to know there are homes of every size and form with plenty of variety in lot size and location, from waterfront to ocean view homes that are located in the meadows or on the hillsides, to planned homes in the forest. Homes located near golf/tennis communities, retirement communities and new homes are also available.
Gualala, just 8 miles north of The Sea Ranch in southern Mendocino County, sits on the bluffs above the Pacific Ocean and the Gualala (pronounced wah-LAH-lah) River, which runs through the town. The river is an excellent place to fish for steelhead, to swim and to float or kayak. The natural beauty and tranquility of living in Gualala is highly prized along with the community’s interest in art and culture. Future residents will enjoy the variety of things to do and the housing choices, from in-town cottages to sprawling estates on many acres overlooking the ocean.
