Forest House | Tranquil Escape & Trails
Welcome to Forest House, a one-of-a-kind Sea Ranch retreat where 1970s architecture meets the quiet magic of the redwoods. Designed by architect Don Jacobs, this distinctive timber-frame home is tucked among towering trees, lush rhododendrons, and native woodland, offering a peaceful escape that feels worlds away.
Step inside to discover original Sea Ranch character, oversized windows, skylights, curated travel artifacts, and inviting multi-level spaces. Spend the day exploring the Bobcat Trail right outside your door, curl up with a book on the reading deck, or unwind in the private couples spa tub surrounded by nature. Forest House is a memorable retreat for couples, families, and nature lovers seeking a true taste of classic Sea Ranch.
