About this home
Lost Coast Ocean Ranch
788 Acres of Untamed Beauty | One Mile of Secluded Coastline | Infinite Possibility
There are ranches and then there are legends. Lost Coast Ocean Ranch is the latter - an extraordinary, rare 788-acre coastal estate where luxury, legacy, and land stewardship converge in one of California's most breathtaking settings.
Located just 45 minutes from the historic Victorian Village of Ferndale, this ranch is a rare fusion of architectural mastery and working land. The journey to the property winds through open range and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Mendocino, culminating in a private sanctuary perched above the Pacific Ocean. Drive through the ranch over a hand-crafted stone arched bridge to the ocean side of the property, where gently terraced hillsides - untouched by erosion - lead to over 100 acres of flat oceanfront grassland and more than a mile of secluded shoreline, easily accessible via the ranch's extensive road system.
At its heart stands a 5,500 sq ft custom stone residence and a 900 sq ft stone garden house with a hand-crafted stone wall courtyard - all built by the artisan behind Napa Valley's famed Castello di Amorosa. The home is a monument to craftsmanship featuring hand-carved stone imported from a Napa Valley quarry, sleek black high-seam metal roof, custom all-glass massive dormers, Fleetwood glass windows and doors, radiant heated concrete floors, Mendota linear gas fireplace and a 40-foot sliding glass door for seamless indoor - outdoor living.
The main residence is equipped with modern amenities, including a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, wine fridge, and a 60" Wolf double range oven. The massive open kitchen is ready for your final finishing touches. The second story remains unfinished - a blank canvas with conceptual plans for four bedrooms and three baths.
This estate is more than a showpiece. It is a fully fenced and cross-fenced working ranch with a historic hay barn dating back to the late 1800's. Abundant flat land offers sustainable grazing, potential carbon credit opportunities, rich timber resources, and a year-round creek. The land supports thriving wildlife habitat for deer, elk, wild hogs, bear, and turkey - plus recreational access to tide pools, camping, whale watching, and the world-renowned Lost Coast Trail.
Seven APNs span multiple zoning districts - Agriculture Exclusive (AE), Agriculture (AG), Natural Resources (NR), and Commercial Timber (TC) offering flexibility for operations, conservation, or future development. While the ranch is not currently under the Williamson Act, it does qualify, offering potential tax advantages for long-term land stewardship.
Lost Coast Ocean Ranch is not just a property; it is a rare opportunity to own one of California's last great coastal ranches - where luxury meets land and vision meets possibility...
