Perched along the coveted Alviso Ridge, where redwood forest meets the Pacific horizon, this exceptional 20-acre coastal retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and true self-sustaining living. Designed and built in 2009, the 4,220 sq. ft. residence is a sanctuary for those seeking independence without sacrificing refinement. From the moment you arrive, the artisan front door, adorned with etched gold leaf, sets the tone for a home defined by craftsmanship and intention. Inside, the architecture opens into a dramatic Great Room, where a 13-foot chimney anchors the wood-burning fireplace and a sweeping semicircular wall of windows invites the natural landscape in. Originally designed to capture expansive ocean views, the setting offers a unique opportunity to selectively clear or top trees on the property to reintroduce striking blue water vistas. The heart of the home is both inviting and functional–a warm, expansive kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances, granite countertops, oiled birchwood cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry, seamlessly connecting to a sunlit breakfast alcove and south-facing patio. Here, mornings begin in stillness and evenings unfold beneath vivid sunsets and an endless canopy of stars. A library and sitting room with propane fireplace offer additional spaces to unwind. The primary suite is a private haven, complete with ocean views, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a deep soaking tub and walk-in shower. Radiant floor heating throughout ensures year-round comfort. Engineered for autonomy, the property delivers a truly self-sufficient lifestyle. A top-tier solar array paired with four battery systems supports a high level of energy independence, while a 21kW backup generator provides added peace of mind.The well, measured at 20 gallons per minute, and 10,000 gallons of water storage support both daily living and fire safety, complemented by a rooftop sprinkler system. An unfinished lower level offers flexibility for future expansion, while the well-maintained access road ensures ease without compromising seclusion. A coastal refuge where independence, natural beauty, and thoughtful design converge, inviting you to disconnect from the noise and live with intention on the Mendocino Coast.
