The story
An unparalleled opportunity for coastal stewardship, Alder Creek Ranch comprises 266 acres in Mendocino County featuring a private road descending directly from ocean bluffs to a secluded beach. Completely unencumbered by conservation easements and enrolled in the Williamson Act across six parcels, the property is a prime candidate for an ecologically minded buyer seeking generational privacy and the tax benefits of a future, tailored easement. The estate includes a 2,200 sq. ft. custom main residence with 16-foot vaulted ceilings, Oregon Red Alder cabinetry, and sweeping Pacific views, plus a historic early-1900s three-bedroom caretaker's home and working barns. Supported by reliable spring water and riparian rights on Alder Creek, the ranch seamlessly blends ecological value with exclusive recreation, including seasonal steelhead angling and world-class beachfront horseback riding. Located minutes from Point Arena and Little River Airport, this is a rare chance to privately own and protect a magnificent stretch of the California coast.
