Ascona House

Ascona House Watch for passing harbor seals and grey whales from the comfort of this two-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a peaceful seaside retreat that offers wonderful beach access, a private covered hot tub, and two decks from which to enjoy the sweeping ocean and meadow views. This two-level home is scenically situated on the ocean side of California Highway 1, less than eight miles south of Gualala’s art galleries, grocery stores, and restaurants. It’s also just a five-minute walk from the Bluff Trail and Pebble Beach, a short walk from Smuggler’s Cove and the Sea Ranch Marine Preserve/Seal Sanctuary, less than two miles south of Stengel Beach, and three miles from the fascinating tide pools and rock formations of Shell Beach. Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation or a quiet getaway with friends, this Sea Ranch home offers comfort, a beautiful design, and ocean views from nearly every room. With hardwood floors, lofty cathedral ceilings, and large windows that face the water, the second-floor living space is full of warmth and sunlight. Curl up with a novel on one of the plush sofas, sit by the cozy gas fireplace as you observe the local black-tailed deer, or gather your friends for movie night in front of the YouTube TV and DVD/Blu-ray player. Choose from an extensive library of over 70 DVD/Blu-ray movies, or stream your favorite shows on Netflix and Amazon. The built-in, six-speaker surround sound system can connect to multiple devices, including an electronic keyboard. Flip on the stereo system as you prepare meals in the full kitchen, which offers plentiful cabinet space for your groceries. Enjoy breakfast with family and friends around the open dining room table for six, and feel free to relax as the dishwasher takes care of the plates. Take a soothing soak in the covered hot tub, enjoying the misty coastal views before the morning fog retreats. And when the afternoon sun is shining, head upstairs to the second deck to cook fresh seafood and steaks on the gas grill. Although an unforgettable Sea Ranch vacation can easily be spent in the warmth of your hot tub or in the comfort of your living room, you’ll find some of the region’s most beautiful landscapes just outside your door.
