Sky Fall - Luxe architectural gem with ocean & golf views and private hot tub

This home and the surrounding Sea Ranch community are both featured in the July 11th, 2019 issue of the New York Times. Experience the original utopian ideals of the Sea Ranch in a luxurious, modern interpretation at this brand-new home on the Sea Ranch Golf Links. Paying homage to the original barns of the Sea Ranch homestead, and constructed using redwood, steel, and concrete-fiberglass composite panels, this single-level home blends function and beauty, indoor and outdoor living, and tranquility and comfort in one of Northern California's most extraordinary landscapes. You'll return home from beachcombing to radiant floor heating, a flatscreen TV that disguises itself as an art hanging when not in use, plus a gas grill and Adirondack chairs to enjoy in the sheltered courtyard. A hot tub and a private master suite await relaxing evenings spent stargazing and listening to the ocean waves. In the mornings, open the shades to watch deer and giant blue heron take their morning walks on the neighboring golf course. This home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac at the north end of Sea Ranch, where it sits alongside the golf course's greens and fairways. You'll be just around the corner from the oceanfront Bluff Trail and Gualala Point Regional Park (a prime spot for seasonal whale watching), and only two miles north of the heated outdoor pool, saunas, and tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center. This home is even outfitted with an electric vehicle charger, allowing you to enjoy downtown Gualala's markets, restaurants, and galleries (one mile north) with ease. KITCHEN & DINING Craft your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with dishwasher, making cleanup a breeze. With seating for your group, mealtimes become part of the experience. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Spread out across two bedrooms—plus a Murphy bed in the living room when you need extra space. The detached master centers on a king bed for a quiet, restful night. Two additional queen beds include one in a private bedroom and one on a Murphy bed in the living room. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps six PROPERTY AMENITIES -- 2-bedrooms (Master is detached), 2 bath, 1 Murphy bed in the living room -- Private hot tub -- EV charger COMMUNITY AMENITIES (at Sea Ranch recreation centers) -- Heated pools and saunas (at Del Mar, Moonraker, and Ohlson rec centers) -- Tennis and pickleball courts (at rec centers) -- Miles of coastal bluff trails. A Murphy bed is available in the living area but is not a private bedroom.

This is your private retreat for the duration of your stay -- full run of the house. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.

You'll be an easy drive from wonderful lunches at the Ranch Cafe (eight miles south), a scenic stroll from beautiful Walk On Beach (three miles south), and close to wine tastings and beer flights in the Anderson Valley. Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.

Plan for a 2.5-hour drive from San Francisco (Highway 101 to Highway 1). If flying, Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) is the closest option at about 90 minutes east. You'll want a car here -- the winding coastal roads are half the adventure.

Samsung Smart TV (which accepts guest log-in information to provide access to all your favorites) Electric vehicle charger * Good to know: Best for guests aged 12 and up Designed by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop, Architects and built by Empire Constructions, this elegant rental offers views of the ocean and the golf course from almost every room, a private, in-ground hot tub, and a perfect location close to oceanfront bluff trails, beaches, the northern Gualala Point Regional Park, as well as the town of Gualala itself, and the community's swimming pools, tennis courts, and saunas. Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times. Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast. Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons. Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
