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.
