40445 Tide Pool The Sea Ranch, CA 95497

Sea Ranch Oceanfront Home is a study in how to live in harmony with the natural beauty just beyond its panoramic windows. Built in 1991 and extensively remodeled in 2010-2011 with designer Seryozha Kristi, this 2,811 sq ft residence offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a 280 sq ft loft with built-in desks, and a 2-car garage. The primary ensuite bedroom captures sweeping views of both creek and ocean, while the spa-like bath enhances the retreat experience. Ideally positioned for dramatic whitewater views, the home enjoys rare privacy with a riparian creek to the north and a comfortable distance from the bluff trail. A true coastal sanctuary, the property offers exceptional wildlife viewing whales, seals, sea lions, and migratory birds offshore, with deer, foxes, and hares nearby. Sunrises from the window seat and ever-changing coastal light create a daily connection to nature. The great room is anchored by a striking fireplace of Three Rivers stone from Idaho, featuring a fossil plate of Diplomystus, a 50-million-year-old fish. Custom details include river-recovered cypress cabinetry from ancient logs, sustainable Red Grandis timber in baths and loft, and concrete kitchen counters with locally sourced aggregate and embedded nautilus fossils. The backsplash features ammonites and Italian stone, paired with a custom copper hood by CNA Metal Fabricators. The kitchen includes primarily Miele appliances and custom cabinetry crafted by local artisan Barry Semegran. Modern systems include a 2025 Control4 audio/visual system with surround sound, 5-zone distribution, Marantz receivers, Paradigm speakers, and Sony/LG displays. A 5kW solar system was installed during the roof replacement, along with a generator transfer switch. Recent improvements include replacement of water heater, plumbing, and gas lines in 2026 (15-year warranty), sump pump installation, and a new furnace (2024). The asphalt driveway - rare at Sea Ranch - was slurry sealed in 2025. An extended roofline provides sheltered outdoor living, while engineered foundation reinforcements add peace of mind. A rare blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and breathtaking oceanfront living.
