This spacious 3 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2100+ Sq. foot hillside home has three levels and panoramic ocean and beach views from most rooms. Designed in 1978 by Gualala, CA architect Richard Perkins, in the "Sea Ranch" style, the home is designed and equipped for simple, relaxed comfort and to maximize the view while integrating with the natural setting. The house is well maintained but we have intentionally kept it true to its original design. Situated just above a beautiful rock formation and large open space area, the house is a great spot to watch the local wildlife. The house and furnishings are clean, serene, natural, relaxed, and comfortable.

This hillside home is a tri-level house with the main (Center) level at ground floor from the front entrance. It's easiest to understand the home by understanding the levels:

Main Level (Ground Floor)

The main level includes an open plan living/dining and adjacent kitchen. This level also includes a master bedroom with king bed, divided bath, and sunroom. The sunroom is our favorite spot in the house to curl up and read a book or watch the surfers or constantly changing sky. If you are a couple staying alone, you would probably never leave the main level. If there is anyone in your party who has difficulty with stairs, this level will work great for them (there are just 2 steps into the house from the driveway). There are stunning ocean and beach views from the living/dining area, kitchen, master bedroom, and sunroom.

Upstairs Loft:

Overlooking the living area is a loft with a queen-size bed and a half bath (toilet and sink). This loft is open to the room below (with a half-height solid wall providing visual privacy). The loft is a cozy place with lovely views of Tomales Bay and Dunes out the south window and views to Bodega Head out the north window.

Lower Level:

One floor below the main level is another private bedroom with a queen bed and ocean views. The lower level also has a family room with two new sleeper sofas that open to full size beds. For extra comfort, there are two fold up memory foam mattress toppers that you can put on top of the open sleeper sofas. The family room also has ocean views, a wood burning stove, and includes a table with four chairs for playing games or doing puzzles. This room is great for kids and teens. And, because it's close to the ground, it's a great spot for watching deer and looking for bunnies who sometimes appear at the edge of the shrubs. This level includes a full bath (with walk-in shower) and a covered deck with three adirondack chairs. The deck is accessible from the private bedroom and the family room.

Beach Access:

The house is situated about halfway up the Oceana Marin hillside overlooking Dillon Beach. The beach is walking distance down the hill from the house (about a 10 min walk downhill, but it's a more rigorous walk back up...it's a good workout). If you have little kids, older people, anyone not comfortable with negotiating a steep beach access, or a lot of stuff, using the Dillon Beach Resort parking lot right on the beach (for a small fee) is a good choice. You can save your walking for the beach. (Make sure you go all the way to the south end which rewards you with a gorgeous view down Tomales bay and out to sea). Or even better, at the end of the beach, walk in-land through the camping area and climb one of the most beautiful dunes in Northern California.
