There are few places on the Mendocino Coast where architecture feels so inseparable from the landscape. Pelican Cove is one of them. Named for the pelicans that soar along the cliffs and sea stacks, this remarkable bluff-top estate offers front-row Pacific views where migrating whales, dramatic sunsets, and waves surging through sea caves become part of everyday life. Built in 1979 and extensively renovated, the 1,800+/- sq. ft. main residence and 600+/- sq. ft. guest residence redefine luxury coastal living. Set on approximately one acre, the property offers exceptional privacy, uninterrupted ocean views, and professionally designed gardens by a former Botanical Gardens master gardener. Heather gardens, slate pathways, landscape lighting, and automatic irrigation create a setting of lasting serenity. Clad in yellow Alaskan cedar shingles with weathered copper gutters, the three-bedroom, two-bath residence is designed to embrace the coastline. Expansive picture windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a striking stone propane fireplace anchor the open living, dining, and kitchen areas while framing breathtaking ocean views. The beautifully appointed kitchen features alder cabinetry, quartz countertops, stacked-stone accents, an oversized skylight, a professional-grade BlueStar gas range, premium appliances, and a pantry. The primary suite features its own Vermont Castings propane fireplace, a window-wrapped sitting area, breathtaking ocean views, and a walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom is finished with custom inlaid stone tile floor and shower, quartz vanity countertop, and bidet toilet, creating a timeless aesthetic. Echoing the same level of craftsmanship, the guest bathroom is equally appointed with a custom inlaid stone tile floor and shower and bidet toilet. Two guest bedrooms feature French doors opening to private garden settings, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Outdoor living is equally inviting with expansive Ipe decking, multiple ocean-view gathering spaces, and handcrafted garden features designed for unforgettable entertaining and quiet reflection. The detached 600+/- sq. ft. guest residence offers an ocean-view bedroom, media room, one-and-a-half baths, kitchenette, and private terrace. Additional amenities include a greenhouse, water storage, and thoughtfully cultivated native coastal plantings. Pelican Cove is a legacy property honoring one of the Mendocino Coast's most spectacular bluff-top settings.

Every once in a while a property comes along that's genuinely different. This is one of those homes.Thoughtfully designed and meticulously constructed, this architecturally striking contemporary residence sits atop 10 private acres at the end of Carson Hill Road, where towering redwoods, southern sun, and a truly unique ocean view come together on one of the coast's most private settings. With its strong architectural lines, soaring spaces, and unapologetically modern design, the home stands apart from virtually anything else on the Mendocino Coast. Looking south across a broad valley of treetops, whitecaps shimmer on the Pacific beyond. It's not the typical front-row ocean view; it's something much more unique. Walls of glass, soaring ceilings, and clean modern lines pull the outdoors into the living spaces.Everywhere you look, it's obvious this wasn't built to hit a price point. Built with Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction, the home features a 6-inch reinforced concrete core surrounded by over 5 inches of insulating foam for exceptional efficiency, strength, comfort, and durability. Fire resistance was also a priority, with ICF walls, a steel roof, concrete exterior panels, and concrete soffits.Radiant-heated concrete floors flow throughout the home and have been custom seeded with semi-precious gemstones, creating a finish unlike anything you'll find in a production home. The placement of the oversized windows, courtyard, room layout, and orientation to the view all feel intentional.The infrastructure is already in place, including a productive 240-foot well with a 5,500-gallon storage tank and fire suppression fittings, 220-amp PG&E service, a 1,000-gallon propane tank, and an approved gravity septic system for a 3-bdrm home. A prepared 30' x 80' building pad offers exciting possibilities for a future gallery, studio, workshop, or additional garage.Although wonderfully secluded, Mendocino, Little River, shopping, restaurants, beaches, and state parks are all just minutes away.This isn't simply an unfinished custom home. Most of the hard work has already been done. The planning, Coastal Development Permit, site work, infrastructure, shell, window package, and major mechanical systems are already in place. What remains is primarily the completion of finishes and the opportunity for the next owner to bring the vision to life.There is simply nothing else on the Mendocino Coast quite like it.
