About This Home

As of February 2024

La Puerta del Mar (The Door to the Sea) is a masterful combination of disappearing glass and vast ocean expanse that blurs the line between indoor living and the outdoor terrace. Perched on nearly two acres high above the confluence of the Navarro River and the Pacific Ocean sits this stunning 3 bedroom/2 bath residence. As you transition from the entry into the living space, you will be greeted by a gracious living room with Redwood beam ceilings, Saltillo tile flooring and a wood-burning fireplace crafted of stone. A bank of floor-to-ceiling, folding glass doors joins the interior space with the terrace beyond where you'll be mesmerized by jaw-dropping views to the south of massive, rocky cliffs and exploding surf. The well-appointed kitchen and dining area is a chef's delight with a Redwood breakfast bar and majestic ocean views. At day's end, retreat to the primary suite and relax in front of a Kiva fireplace and a soaking tub. In addition to the standard appointments, your en-suite also includes a Finnish wet/dry sauna. Two additional bedrooms and a den on the opposite side of the home provides flexibility to accommodate family or guests and a home office. This unique home is a highly successful vacation rental (grossed $160,000 in 2023) with deeded beach access.
