Tucked into the sunshine crest of Sea Ranch's coveted Unit 30A, this remarkable architectural retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and artisanal design. Originally designed in 1978 by renowned architect Obie Bowman and thoughtfully expanded by Dan Levin in 2003, the residence embodies the spirit of Sea Ranch living where craftsmanship, nature, and simplicity exist in perfect harmony. Positioned just behind the ridge line, this home enjoys an ideal setting that captures abundant sunlight while remaining protected from prevailing coastal winds. Custom built-in shelving, handcrafted furniture elements, and artisanal architectural details create a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply connected to its surroundings. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been carefully designed to maximize natural light and frame the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Strategically placed windows transform each room into its own private ecological experience, while expansive picture windows in the main living area create a profound sense of stillness, serenity, and connection to the forest beyond. Separate bedroom wings offer privacy and independence, while an additional office/guest room and elevated loft provide flexible spaces for work, creativity, recreation, and hosting guests. In addition to serving as an exceptional private residence, the property has operated successfully as a vacation rental with a proven Airbnb track record, offering both lifestyle enjoyment and income potential.
