The Sea Ranch is an exquisite primary residence and second-home community along a 10-mile stretch of the California coast, some 110 miles north of San Francisco. Subject to strict architectural design requirements, The Sea Ranch has become world renowned for blending development with the incredible beauty of the natural environment. Consequently, the outside appearance of the homes may be modest, but inside they are everything but that. Our homes are west of Highway One. All you normally hear and see are the sounds of the ocean and the views up and down the coast. High season never ends at Sea Ranch.
