What's special
Magical ''Mendocino Tree House.'' In escrow, accepting backup offers. This incredible 2 bedroom 2 bath home is located at the end of a quiet lane and is minutes away to Mendocino Village, but in its own amazing world. The home is an octagon built around an 80+ year old redwood tree, with views of the central atrium and surrounding woods from every room. Expanses of glass provide uninterrupted views of the meadow and redwood forest, filling the house with natural light. This home has been lovingly remodeled, with numerous additional features and structures added over the years. All materials eco-friendly, low VOC. Walls were taken down to the studs, new wiring, plumbing, lighting, windows, skylights, walls and 50-yr roof added. The kitchen features quartz counters, stainless appliances and lots of storage. There is an enchanting bath-house area with a large, custom-built wood-burning sauna, hot tub, clawfoot slipper tub and separate shower area, all heated by a dedicated on-demand water heater. For winter storms and power outages, an on-demand generator is in place. The meadow and large open yard have been strategically hard-scaped with multiple in-ground and above-ground planting beds and other defined zones. There is a large greenhouse, with solar-powered automatic ventilation for warm summer days. Multiple fruit trees have been planted (lemon, fig, apple, plum & quince) The gardens and land have been cultivated and tended using natural practices with no chemicals. In addition to the gardens, there are numerous play structures and areas. The main part of the yard has been contained by fencing to keep dogs in and deer out. Off the main deck is a fire-pit area, with electricity and lighting. There is also a separate storage shed, additional storage in the carport, and bear-proof garbage storage. Situated just out of the fog belt, a mile up from the coast, this property & its expansive open backyard meadow enjoy many sunny warm days when the Village of Mendocino is cold and wet. The land has been carefully cleared and opened up for light and forest health, with many invasive pines and shrubs removed for fire safety and ease of use. This is a truly private park-like property with all of the hard work completed for a move-in ready package. Come retreat to the unique magic of the ''Mendocino Tree House.''
