This two-story home boasts an incredible location, out on a point with 270-degree views of the ocean coast. The house feels private and secluded, yet it’s also less than half a mile from shops, galleries, and markets in small-town Gualala. Slide open the glass doors and bring your coffee outside to the patio each morning, keeping your eyes peeled for whale spouts on the horizon. This is a space to return to at sunset for an alfresco meal and a soothing soak in the private hot tub.
