This is the home of the man for whom my DH worked for 35 years. We have visited them twice over the years. I love the views. One morning we saw an osprey dive down and catch an octopus and then fly by with the octopus dangling in its claws. Whales can be seen during migration, but we never visited at that time.

Beautiful home! I am surprised the price isn't higher with the location in California.

I cannot imagine waking up to that view every morning. I'm not sure I'd ever leave my house.

I could very happily live in that house. I’d never leave.

OMG I'm in love! And it's in my happy place. Dh says we don't have 4 million laying about, but that he will get right on it.
I swear I'll have an epic party when it's mine and you are all invited!

Wow that is beautiful. I'd prefer it set back from the cliff more though, that would constantly make me nervous.

We go to Mendocino all the time - my profile photo is taken where Big River meets the ocean.
Little River is beautiful - one of the most amazing sink holes is right next to that house and the cemetery. I was looking for a photo but they aren’t on my phone…
Eta - I think due to its remote location and very chilly weather - coastal property in Mendocino is a fraction of what it is in for example the Carmel/Monterey area where that house would probably be more like $20m.

Beautiful location, but that house is way too close to the cliff!  I'm not sure it will be standing in 10-15 years.  |

The water is cutting in on both sides of the house now, especially on the north side.  I'd be curious to see what the coastline looked like when the house was build in 1973. |

Beautiful home! I am surprised the price isn't higher with the location in California. That was my first thought just from looking at the first two or three photos. I had to go back and recheck that price. My sister’s house is on the beach in Ventura and listed on Zillow for between 6 and 7 million and it is a dump compared to this house! Why is this so inexpensive? |

Why is this so inexpensive? as I mentioned above coastal Mendocino is pretty remote and cold. Much less expensive than like the Monterey area. The further north you go, the less expensive it gets. Plus also as mentioned maybe there are some land issues with this property. There is another property on the coast in Mendocino that was very difficult to sell bc the Cliff is so unstable. I think it sold for under $2m eventually Personally I wouldn’t buy this property - I would much prefer one where I could walk into the adorable town of Mendocino and to big river beach. |

Erosion was my first thought too - incredibly close to the edge! Having said that, the location is stunning 😊 I didn’t find the interior anything to write home about but a beautiful spot for sure 😊

I'd take my chances on long-term erosion for that view.
What a lovely home. The interior decorating is quite tasteful and feels homey. The grounds are simple stunning.

The town of Mendocino has all the services I believe - including excellent restaurants, a great market and independent book store. It even has a chevron though it’s the most expensive in the state at almost $10 per gallon lol so yes Fort Bragg is a better option. I think Mendocino and the Mobil at Lee Vining must win the award for most expensive! |

I loved going into Mendocino when we visited. I visited the book store, I know, as well as other shops.
It was my first taste of Mexican coffee (coffee and hot chocolate mixed in same cup). Our friend was a bit annoyed because he could not grow a tomato in the climate.
They loved the house and their years there. They spent the summers there and the winters in either Dallas, Tahoe or New Orleans. (They owned property in all locations and have added a house in Napa to their dwellings). However he is past 80 now and is downsizing...selling all the extra homes. At this moment they are in Little River, removing all their personal items. They are selling the house with most of the furnishings left in it.

Beautiful but I would want to be further from the edge. It is pretty remote snd getting into and out of the area was a nasty curvy 2 lane road if I am remembering correctly. Absolutely beautiful though. Amazing gardens to.

Beautiful home. Not my style though.
Way to close to the cliff, for my liking.

The inside is not my taste but for that view with that land you can give me whatever you want inside that house!

Oh wow, I love it! Some of it is a bit dated, but I could happily overlook that for those views!

So nice that the interior is so understated and not gaudy.

It is massively under priced. Easily a $20million home. I'm sure at the time it was built it was built to code and everyone thought it was back far enough. Mother Nature can be fickle though.
I'm wondering if there is something else going on with it, because the land, if still buildable, has to be worth more than $3.5million. Someone will come along to tear it down and rebuild further back. Still an epic view!
