Before maps and boundaries, the relentless Pacific met this ancient stone headland in a timeless dance. Chiseled by wind and wave, the legendary cliffs of Saddle Point have long served as a mariner’s compass–its iconic silhouette etched into the memory of all who pass. Here, where the continent yields to the vast Pacific, sits what may be the most significant oceanfront offering in Mendocino County’s history. Welcome to Saddle Point Estate–a 56-acre oceanfront sanctuary so remarkable it has graced the pages of National Geographic, Smithsonian Magazine, and even the silver screen. Perched atop nearly a mile of private coastline, this rare compound features three fully permitted residences, grandfathered into county history and embraced by nature’s wild poetry. The main house, a stately 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (approx. 1,650 sq ft), anchors the estate with timeless elegance. Nearby, the Ocean View Cottage (2 bed, 1 bath, approx. 825 sq ft) offers comfort with sweeping ocean vistas. The Gardener’s Cottage (1 bed, 1 bath, approx. 650 sq ft) rises two stories, capturing panoramic views from a private balcony. A converted redwood barn adds flexible space for art, events, or a workshop. Wander manicured lawns that spill toward the cliffs, where thoughtfully placed viewing decks offer front-row seats to the Pacific’s ever-changing canvas. Spot migrating whales, uncover hidden coves, or lose time watching the light play across fifteen miles of coastline, from your perch to the historic Point Arena Lighthouse. Nearly two miles of flat, private trails lead through coastal meadows to secluded beaches and coves, while a modern underground shelter offers a unique layer of privacy and preparedness. Whether envisioned as a legacy family compound, an exclusive retreat, or a coastal hospitality venture, this property adapts with grace and grandeur. Fly into nearby Little River Airport, dine at the acclaimed two Michelin-starred Harbor House Inn, and retreat to a place where the horizon holds no bounds. Three APNs. Endless Possibility. Unmatched Provenance. Saddle Point Estate is more than land–it’s a legacy, a compass, a coastal masterpiece.
