About This Home
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from Anchor Bay, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath redwood retreat offers the privacy and serenity coastal buyers dream about. With only a handful of neighbors sharing the private drive, the property feels secluded yet is a short drive to Gualala's restaurants, galleries, and shops. Inside, beautiful maple floors run throughout, and the living area is anchored by a vaulted wood ceiling that draws the eye upward. Two sliding doors open onto the redwood deck, letting in the breeze and the scent of the forest on warm days, while a wood stove keeps things cozy on cool coastal nights. Sunlight filters through the surrounding redwoods with a luminescent quality that changes throughout the day, filling the home with natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped for everyday living or entertaining, and the bedrooms both offer comfortable, private retreats after a day exploring the beaches, hiking trails, and galleries of the Mendocino Coast. Outside, the deck and grounds are ideal for morning coffee, evening fires, and simply soaking in the quiet. Whether you're seeking a peaceful primary residence or a weekend getaway, this Anchor Bay-area property delivers the quiet, forested lifestyle that keeps guests and owners coming back.
