Close to gorgeous Moonstone Beach! With the area’s largest ancient redwood on property (great for photo opps!), this custom, hand-built home is perfect for nature-loving, laid-back families and couples who like relax! Featuring casual, charming Japanese-bohemian inspired touches, this rustic, rambling 3/4 acre property holds delightful surprises awaiting your discovery! 3 Bds (Maximum occupancy permitted is 6 adults), 2.5 Bathrooms, Living Room, Family Room, Decks, Lofts, new Hot Tub, a 15-20 minute walk (steep—but a great and gorgeous workout!!) or a few minutes drive down the bluffs to the world-famous Moonstone Beach. Solar panels and a (new!) low-carbon footprint heating system power this earth-conscious retreat where the eco-activist owners strive to reduce and reuse. On the first floor, you can cook while you chat in the open, serene Kitchen where a breakfast nook and added bar area create a cheerful, social atmosphere. Enjoy the Wolf gas range, and the marathon session of zen-style ‘fridge poetry’ always in progress! Or relax with meals (or just board games and conversation!) in the separate Dining Room with a working piano from 1889 and an authentic antique Japanese apothecary bureau. Also on the first floor, you do your yoga or just kick back in a sunny Living Room with its pull-out futon and antique sofa, or watch satellite DirecTV in the cozy, sunken Family Room, which is open to the kitchen for a wonderful sense of family togetherness! The Moonstone House laidback vibe says nothing is so fancy that it can’t be touched and used— yes, even by your kids, so let relaxation reign! The wild, natural-style landscaping holds one hundred Japanese maples and rare specimen plants, all tucked around the rambling 3/4 acre property which also includes a rustic fire pit area for bedtime stories and marshmallows, a well-hidden creek, a natural pond, a Japanese potting shed that’s been reimagined as a charming, rustic ‘zen den’ for your peaceful moments, plus several seasonal water features designed by the original architect (one of them lights up intermittently! Try to spot a goldfish!) So fun for kids to explore! This natural habitat has the added bonus of sheltering the home from any harsh ocean winds, creating its own idyllic micro-zone where only gentle breezes prevail. Enjoy them on the front deck, which features outdoor dining and a gas grill. Note: After dark, please respect the neighborhood serenity by using quiet voices on the front deck and hot tub. The second floor has plenty of room to spread out, featuring a Master Suite with sliding glass doors onto step-out balconies to enjoy the fresh air, a cloud-soft King Bed, and a Full Bathroom. Above the Master Suite is a third floor “Mermaids Loft:' a comfy mini-library with books, redwood burl coffee table, cozy sofa, and stools looking out over an Ocean View—head up there at sunset with your glass of wine, why don’t you? Maybe you’ll spot a mermaid! Back down on the second floor and adjoining the master suite, an Arts and Entertainment space awaits—stocked with kid’s art supplies, game tables, plus a second satellite TV system so the kids can watch their own channels. A second bedroom down the hall has a desk and pleasantly firm queen bed. The third bedroom has a full bed and a twin bed, along with an enticing ‘kids’ loft space holding books, toys, and sleeping bags on twin floor pads for some ready-made sleepover style fun. The additional upstairs bathroom has elegant redwood accents, full tiled tub, and a magical view of the private, ‘wild forests of Japan’-inspired gardens stretching below. The front of the house features a majestic ancient Redwood wider than your car, by far the oldest one in the area— so great for family photo opps! Gather in front of it, or attempt to hug it for your next most cherished family portrait! The large, new hot tub is so nice to relax in after being down at the beach or hiking in the Redwoods (Redwood National Park Additional amenities: ATM/bank, Agate Beach, Agate Hunting, Arts and Farmers Market, Away From It All, Bait Shop, Beach, Beachcomber Cafe, Bigfoot?
