The story
There is a particular kind of serenity found on this south facing slope above the Ten Mile River. A stillness that feels like a breath of fresh air. Roughly 83 acres rise from the river's edge, through open valley floor meadows, and up a hillside shaped with intention. The structures sit lightly within the landscape. The single story main home features a wraparound deck and hot tub, along with a window lined room large enough for yoga classes, workshops, or gatherings. Intricate Balinese window panels slide open or closed over the tall windows, and three sets of French doors open directly to the outside. Next is the two story home, with an exceptional commercial style kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and two balconies. Continuing up the hill you'll find a decadent yurt, a charming outhouse, a second yurt, a charcoal cabin, and, at the tip-top, one more cabin. Each has it's own deck for drinking in the view of the green valley below which expands as you rise. The central outdoor kitchen calls for a party with its wood fired pizza oven, built-in grill, and broad curving counters. Just behind it, a secret root cellar extends into the hillside for storing the bounty of the land. The flagstone kitchen patio extends into the greenhouse which overflows with plants including two different varieties of delicious buttery avocados. Water is a defining asset of this property, both as a resource and a design principle. There is a well, a seasonal spring, and water rights to the river. The entire residential area has an extensive network of French drains and rock retaining walls that use a permaculture design to maximize water infiltration, reducing the need for irrigation. From the property it's only a couple miles to where the river meets the sea at the Ten Mile Dunes. Every drive in or out includes views of tall sand hills rising above the ocean in one of California's most pristine coastal dune preserves. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning river valley property with homes and infrastructure, agricultural capacity, water security, and land that has been shaped with care and artistry. An adjacent 83 acre parcel is also for sale at 29000 Camp 2 Ten Mile.
