Original Demo Home on Ocean side with Hot Tub, Office. Dog friendly. Near Trail.
Designed by renowned architect Joseph Esherick as one of the original Sea Ranch demonstration homes, Mini-Mod #1 embodies the modest scale, material restraint, and deep connection to the landscape that defined the early Sea Ranch vision. A later addition by acclaimed architect Donlyn Lyndon complements the original structure while preserving its architectural integrity.
Unlike many homes centered around a single main room, Mini-Mod #1 was intentionally designed as a collection of warm, inviting spaces that flow naturally into the surrounding landscape. The home sits on one of the most private lots in Sea Ranch. Protected by a dense hedgerow, it feels tucked away in its own peaceful forest while still opening toward the Pacific with partial ocean views. From the living room and listening room to the detached gym and office, reading nooks, and outdoor patios, each space offers a peaceful place to relax, gather, or simply enjoy the natural beauty of Sea Ranch.
Other Amenities: • Private hot tub and heated outdoor lounge chair • Listening room with KEF wireless speakers + vinyls / Fluance turntable • Detached room for yoga, stretching, or light workouts • Large 77 inch LG smart TV + JBL sound bar • Complimentary access to sea ranch's tennis / pickleball courts, swimming pools, and sauna • Board games, books, pickleball rackets/balls. • Nintendo Switch with some classic Nintendo games • Fast Wi-Fi with dedicated workspace (monitor, keyboard, mouse) • 2 minute walk to the Sea Meadow trail; scenic 40 minutes hike along the Sea Meadow trail to The Sea Ranch Lodge, 15 minutes hike to the beach. • Fully equipped kitchen for cooking at home • Gas grill for grilling outdoor • Japanese Bidet with heated toilet seat • Keyless entry to the entire house + gym / office • One King bed + one queen sleeper sofa (with mattress & linens) + one futon (can be converted to a full size bed) • Radiant floor heating and indoor fireplace
Please note: • Well-behaved dog is allowed with prior approval. Cats are not permitted due to allergies. Please do not bring unauthorized pets. • The original staircases are not suitable for young children (under the age of 12) for safety reason. • Because of the coastal environment, occasional insects such as ants may sometimes find their way inside, especially if doors are left open or food is left out. • To help keep the home comfortable, please keep doors/windows closed when possible (especially at night) and avoid leaving food out on counters. • No parties, events, or commercial photography allowed. • During storms, there may occasionally be power outages, no internet, or minor leaks due to the home’s age and coastal exposure.

Perfect house for a couple. Nice furnishings, high-end appliances, quality linens and towels. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials like cooking oil and spices even though we always bring our own, it's nice to have all of that in case we forget anything. We loved the architecture of the house and the views. The host was easily reachable for any issues, although we had none.
