Big Sur and Carmel of
Sonoma County. The Pacific Ocean in your
front yard and Wine Country in your
backyard. Experience tranquility, privacy,
nature, garden, and spa, yet equally an entertainers’
paradise. You choose...
This private
estate is located on a point of two acres
nestled between two ocean coves. There is no
end to the points of view from this
property, the outside spaces, the walls of
glass, the rocky coastline, the steps cut
into the cliff. The list goes on.
This
two-acre oceanfront estate is oriented to
the South with coves to the East and West.
It has great sunrise and sunset views and
all day sun. It also has great unobstructed
views of the moon rising in the East and
setting in the West. The light from the moon
on the water is simply spellbinding.
The estate’s orientation gives it great
protection from the prevailing northwest
wind. This also means that the coastal fog
is blown out to sea much of the time giving
this property many more days of sunshine per
year. This environment allows for large
expanses of gardens not possible in most
coastal areas.
The splendor of this
estate is very stunning. Ansel Adams has
taken several photos from this property.
This is a wonderful spot for viewing
whales, osprey, pelicans, seals, egrets,
blue heron and otter. Timber Cove is world
renown for abalone diving.
Stillwater
Cove Regional Park is adjacent to the Timber
Cove subdivision to the North. Fort Ross,
Salt Point and Kruse Rhododendron state
parks are close by. Stroll the many miles of
coastal trails and through the redwoods.
Fine dining at the recently renovated
Timber Cove Inn is just a short walk from
the estate. The new investors are developing
this historic property into a destination
spa. Live music performances are frequently
scheduled.
There are wonderful county
roads through the redwoods and coastal range
that are fantastic touring experiences
whether walking, by car, bike, or
motorcycle.
The world
famous Sonoma and Napa wine country is just
a short drive.
All of this is just
two short hours north of the Golden Gate
Bridge.

According to the article "Utopia, With
an Ocean View" by Hanna Karp, published
in the August 12, 2011 issue of the
Wall Street Journal,
this home has
"huge views - life on a remote piece of
the Sonoma Coast...Timber
Cove is a classic kind of Northern
California oceanside enclave - it has
stunning views...Facing south, [the
Fergusons'] property is the site of
several Ansel Adams photographs and also
has one of Timber Cove's few staircases
to the sea...On a clear day the
Fergusons can track whales swimming up
the coast from the Farallon Islands,
about 30 miles west of San Francisco;
because of the house's orientation they
can watch the sun both rise and set over
the water."
From the
comments section of the Wall
Street Journal's online
version of the article:
“The house fits
it's surroundings perfectly. Love the
mermaid lighthouse”
“Spectacular
setting. Alas, this home, and many
others, could never be built today”
“This is why you live in California”
“That home is absolute Nirvana”
“Excellent, thoughtful design”
“This
is the very best placement of a house I
have ever seen”
“The view and ocean
is what life is all about and seeing
this makes me miss living in
the region.”
“A wonderful home in a
truly spectacular setting!” |
