Schooner’s Ranch | A Modern Coastal Estate on California’s Wild North Coast

Some places speak to the soul. Where the raw power of the Pacific collides with California's rugged northern cliffs and wild horses still roam free above the sea. Welcome to Schooner’s Ranch, a rare and breathtaking 84-acre estate perched boldly on iconic Highway 1. Just a scenic drive from the Bay Area, it feels a world apart. Here, serenity, scale, and raw natural beauty meet refined modern living in perfect balance. At the heart of the property lies a 4,200 sq ft main residence surrounded by five additional structures, creating a private, self-contained coastal compound. A flagstone courtyard and tranquil pond mirror the sky above, inviting you into a home designed to both inspire and soothe. Inside, light-filled interiors frame endless ocean views, meadows, and private forest from nearly every room.

 The main home’s thoughtful design merges luxury with ease. A chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and gallery lighting—perfect for entertaining or daily enjoyment. A formal dining room opens to a view-forward patio, ideal for hosting under the stars or morning coffee with the surf as your soundtrack. Two expansive primary suites anchor opposite ends of the home, each offering private balconies that float above the coast. The Southern Suite is serene and sunlit, while the Northern Suite boasts a stunning redwood-wrapped study—an ideal place to read, write, or reflect. A third bedroom currently serves as a fitness room with commanding ocean vistas, while a private office and relaxed, refined living areas complete the main level. Across the garden, a peaceful guest cottage provides cozy lodging with views over rolling pastures and forest. 

Two 1,500-square-foot studios, both with soaring ceilings and skylights, offer versatile spaces for creative pursuits, yoga, workshops, or flexible living. For equestrian lovers, the estate includes a corral, vet stall, holding pen, and 70 fenced acres. The nearby wild horses are a living testament to the spirit of this coastline. Zoned for multiple uses, Schooner’s Ranch is ideally suited for a luxury retreat, artist’s haven, working ranch, or boutique agricultural endeavor. With sustainability in mind, the property includes solar panels on both studios, a whole-house generator, and 27k  gallons of water storage. Stucco exteriors and standing seam metal roofs provide lasting protection against the coastal elements. Seasonal creeks, ancient redwoods, and cypress groves further enhance this rich and varied landscape. Just moments from Bowling Ball Beach, Schooner’s Ranch isn’t just a home—it’s a legacy, a canvas for your vision, and a sanctuary for the soul.
