The main residence is a hand-built cabin, alive with character and intention. Soaring glass walls frame views of towering redwoods, while stunning custom woodwork wraps every door and window in artistry. Curved plaster walls and sculpted timber beams reflect the homes organic, one-of-a-kind design. At the heart of the kitchen, a gorgeous live-edge slab bar counter serves as both a functional workspace and an architectural statement. A cozy sleeping loft with skylight and a modern wood-burning stove bring warmth and comfort to the open living area. Just outside, a wood-burning fireplace and hot tub invite year-round connection to nature. A detached artists studio with its own loft and private deck is tucked among the trees, ideal for creative work, remote office, or guest overflow. Two additional yurts, situated far from the main structures, offer peaceful off-grid spaces for meditation, guests, or rental potential. Flat, usable land across the property provides ample room for gardening, expansion, or future building. This is a place where every detail invites a slower, more intentional way of living.
