Architecture Wednesday: Stone Crop Reach

This exquisite oceanfront residence, nestled within one of The Sea Ranch's most secluded enclaves, was originally crafted by the renowned architect Carson Bowler in 1972 and later renovated by Obie Bowman in 1997.

A grand entrance welcomes you with pillars and rustic log timbers. On this level, you’ll find a gourmet chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and slate flooring, an elevated dining room with gas fireplace and a copper hearth; there are two adjoining living rooms/lounge areas with sliding doors open to extensive deck spaces, complete with a gas fireplace and built-in window seats that frame the Pacific Ocean views. A guest suite and study complete this level along with access to the hot tub.

The lower level features the primary bedroom suite with sweeping ocean views and a wall of copper-lined bookcases and a spa-like bath includes a generously sized sauna for comfort and relaxation. There are two guest bedrooms that share a private lounge and a well-appointed full bath. A separate family room connects the two wings and provides access to the hot tub, wine storage, and the garage.

Almost every room boasts breathtaking vistas, gazing out over the adjacent cove where crashing waves meet the boundless ocean beyond while outdoor decks offer privacy and easy entertaining spaces which, along with the hot tub, provide a dazzling display of the ocean and evening stars.

The Sea Ranch stretches across 10 miles of Sonoma County coastline and is known for its iconic timber-frame structures, inspiring architecture and progressive landscape design by renowned American architects.
