About this property

Private Courtyard with Hot Tub... Ocean View...2 min. walk to bluff

TOT ID# 1915.
Welcome to Castlehaven, our beautiful light-filled haven designed by noted local architect Bob Hartstock. Just a two minute walk from the Scenic Bluff Top Trail and Salal Cove, our house is located in the desirable north end of Sea Ranch. We are only a mile from the charming town of Gualala.

This lovingly and beautifully decorated home includes original artwork by a local artist, a private office, 2 master suite bedrooms, plus a private guest bedroom and 2 1/2 baths. The open living room borders on a dining area that seats 4, a music nook with a baby grand piano, and a fully-equipped kitchen with bar implements and glassware.

Outside in our spacious and private courtyard, you will enjoy outdoor dining, access to a BBQ, and a wonderful, soothing hot tub with a view of the night skies. Wildlife is abundant here. Wake to the sounds of the Ocean, and enjoy seeing birds, deer and fox right outside your window, and from the front patio.

The first master suite has French doors leading to a lovely private garden, and a large, heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The second master has a gorgeous view of the golf course and the ocean beyond. The third bedroom is a very private haven separate from the main house, across the courtyard from the hot tub. All bedrooms have queen size beds with memory foam mattresses. A washer and dryer are available, including soaps, and fabric softeners.

For our guest's enjoyment, we have a huge selection of books, movies on DVD, CDs, "streaming" TV, DirecTV and board games to while away your time when you are relaxing after being immersed in nature and all the activities of Sea Ranch. Please be aware that the fireplaces are non-functional because of problems with smoke and soot. Besides the Bluff Top Trail, there are three recreation centers with heated swimming pools, saunas, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, 50+ miles of hiking trails, mountain biking trails, beautiful coastal views and hidden waterfalls. All this awaits you here at Castlehaven.

Great home near ocean
It was a great property near the ocean and bluff trails/ hiking trails. It is also located in the northern part of Sea Ranch, so it is close to town (Gualala)—just a beautiful home and location.

Castlehaven is a slice of heaven
My husband and I, along with his sister and her husband just had a fabulous weekend at Castlehaven. The architecture of the home itself is quite unique. Add the perfect Sea Ranch location, two ensuite bedrooms in the house (there is also a third bedroom that we did not use), well equiped kitchen, hot tub -- all 5 minutes from the Bluff Trail, and it is truly a special place. Communication with our host was quite easy and check out a dream. We hope to return!

Lovely Stay at Castlehaven
This was our second stay at Castlehaven, and once again, it did not disappoint. We loved the breathtaking views, the cozy and well-appointed furniture, the relaxing hot tub, and, most of all, the charming piano. Communication with the host was straightforward and flawless. As there was no moon during our stay, the stars put on a marvelous show each night too. Highly recommend.

Restorative Vacation - Great Location
We had a lovely vacation at this beautiful, spacious home. The location was fantastic - close to bluff trail, short drive to Del Mar pool, beach, nice kayaking spot, and Gualala for market trips and restaurants. The house itself was very comfortable with nice beds and pillows, great for cooking and dining in, relaxing inside while playing board games, watching wildlife from the window, and the hot tub was wonderful. Having a piano was a huge plus for the piano players in our family. Perfect vacation!

Wonderful Stay
We enjoyed so much about this wonderful house...the layout, the ambience the location so close to the bluff and the many comfortable touches. Adding four sunny days was the icing on the cake. Sea Ranch is a wonderful place for family visits and this lovely place on Salal Cove was just the right spot for that.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Our first trip to Sea Ranch was 25 years ago. We had a wonderful experience, and kept coming back at least annually in future years. We finally realized that it was time to purchase in this beautiful community, where the neighbors are drawn together by their shared vision of "living lightly on the land."

What makes this property unique

There were a number of Sea Ranch properties available when we were looking throughout the years, but we were drawn to Castlehaven because of its soaring ceilings in every room, its graceful curves, and the sound of the ocean from its french doors that open to the front patio. After we purchased Castlehaven, we were fortunate to be able to work with the original architect to make some necessary updates and changes.
