Ridge Top

Perched high on a ridgetop, this Craftsman farmhouse offers privacy and seclusion in a magical setting, blending rustic warmth with elegant style. Shingle siding lends rich texture and allows the home to settle naturally into its wooded surroundings, while timber columns frame the entry with a decorative valance and elevated balcony, adding whimsical, storybook charm. Step inside to discover hardwood floors, hand-hewn beams, and a kiva-style fireplace. A graceful mix of materials leads into the country-style kitchen, where a large picture window frames the garden beyond. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor, while the second floor is reserved for the primary bedroom, a full bath, and a private balcony. The patio and back porch extend the living spaces into a level meadow--an idyllic setting for quiet relaxation or intimate gatherings, with sweeping views of the valley and surrounding gardens. Follow a meandering path beneath mature trees to a rustic one-bedroom guest house, where a full-length deck is bathed in sunlight. A gardener’s dream, the property is surrounded by mature landscaping, fruit trees, and pathways leading to undeveloped garden areas awaiting a green thumb. Completing the property are a large, multiroom workshop, several outbuildings, and ample water storage. Ideally situated just 10 minutes from the coast and 10 minutes from inland Anderson Valley.
