A multi-generational rural estate in southern Mendocino County. The Whaler Ranch rests elevated on the Mayacama Bench, in an idyllic setting just above the Russian River, accessed by a gated & landscaped drive. The bulk of the land is level and well-suited for grazing animals, equestrian and/or recreational use. Prime soils lend themselves well to agriculture, with some existing irrigation infrastructure in place. The residence is protected by mature redwoods, while capturing commanding views. Unique finishes, such as interior redwood cladding, reclaimed from the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, bring a warm rustic and refined feel. Outdoor living is complemented by expansive 2nd story decking, mature landscaping and in-ground pool. Screened by productive and delicious fruit trees, the nearby barn/workshop has been revitalized and reimagined, offering approximately 5,000 +/- square feet of open utilitarian space. The adjacent shop houses the equipment necessary to maintain the ranch, as well as a separate well-appointed apartment and office. Located in a highly sought after area of southern Mendocino County, and only 1.5 hours north of the Bay Area, The Whaler Ranch speaks to those who seek unspoiled natural beauty with uncompromising convenience.
