About This Home

5540 N Highway 1

The outside world recedes behind you before the view even begins to unfold. The approach rolls beneath tall pines and gently carries you past the lush gardens, then eases onto emerald turf and flagstone. Beyond, the bluff's edge meets the vast Pacific and the iconic, unbroken Northern California coastline.On 7.3 manicured acres above the Little River coast, renowned landscape architect's gardens surround a 3 bed/3.5 bath, 3,223 sf main residence, a 1 bed/1 bath guest house, and a detached studio. Golden pea gravel paths wind between the buildings past sitting areas, gentle waterfalls, low steel bridges, and a pond ringed with water lilies and layered perennials. A large raised flagstone fire circle at the water's edge springs to life with a propane flame at the touch of a handheld remote. Each season brings its own show: towering white dogwoods, flowering cherries and crab apples in spring, dahlias as the stars of late summer, fiery maples in fall. After dark, brass landscape lighting turns the grounds into a magical evening garden walk.Waves crash on the rocks below, sea birds ride the air currents beyond massive picture windows, and whales migrate past. An upgraded smart home system, operable from anywhere, manages climate, shades, indoor and landscape lighting, and cameras across the property, so the estate is ready the moment you arrive. Utter privacy, unmatched luxury, and unspoiled natural beauty. There is nothing else like it on the Mendocino coast.
