Located well off the beaten path along northern California’s remote Lost Coast, this one-of-a-kind property, with the largest ocean-frontage in Northern California, offers the unique opportunity to build a substantial private luxury estate with breathtaking ocean views and set amid spectacular, BLM-protected natural resource lands for unparalleled peace, privacy, and seclusion. The sprawling property is uniquely situated in the California Coastal Commission-approved subdivision of Shelter Cove, but here, your only neighbors are the eagles, wild deer, and the gray fox. The remoteness here is a rare, priceless respite from the rest of California, with its clogged highways, pollution, and its overpopulated, sprawling cities and suburbs. Here, there are no beachfront mansions lining the hillsides or roadways congested with traffic. Instead, one will find only stunning natural beauty and the unmistakable, unstoppable forces of time and geology still at work, with crumbling spires of the King Range towering up from the sea, blocking the way of everyone not on foot. Read More Accessible by only a few back roads, the property is nonetheless easily and quickly reached via the nearby Shelter Cove airport, only a mile away. Within walking distance of the airport, one can even play nine holes of golf at the Shelter Cove golf course, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Purchasing this property means owning a 70+ acre tract of unadulterated land representative of the magnificent King Range National Conservation Area, a spectacular collision of land and sea where mountains thrust straight up out of the surf, with King Peak ascending 4,088 feet from sea level, only 3-miles from the ocean. The King Range NCA encompasses 68,000 unspoiled acres along 35 miles of California’s north coast, between the mouth of the Mattole River and Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, a wild landscape too rugged to pave over when the 101 was put in during the 50s and 60s, which isolated the region, thus, its title of California’s Lost Coast. The ecological diversity of the area provides excellent wildlife watching opportunities, as well. Just up the road, one can have a chance encounter with northern elephant seals near the Punta Gorda Lighthouse. Nearly 300 species of native and migratory birds have been spotted in the Shelter Cove area, making it a birders paradise, while the old-growth forests are an important habitat for the northern spotted owl, bald eagle and coopers hawk. Offshore rocks, tidepools, and kelp beds are inhabited by seals, sea lions, and a variety of marine birds. California gray whales can be spotted offshore from the property’s numerous and ideal cliff-top vantage points during winter and spring migration seasons. The recreation opportunities here are as diverse as the landscape. The Douglas-fir clad peaks of the King Range NCA are ideal for hiking, with 80 miles of hiking trails spanning from the beach to the highest peaks, with some being quite strenuous, due to the steep, rugged terrain of the area, while the sea shore beckons to surfers, anglers, beachcombers, and abalone divers. Between the cliffs and the sea, the Lost Coast Trail passes along the narrow band of erosion-ravaged beach in this area. It is the domain of the solitary explorer, a desolate and severe landscape ensconced within a pristine ecosystem, untouched by man. The challenging path leads from hidden beaches to expansive vistas at dizzying heights above the surf. Apart from sea lions and the occasional troop of Boy Scouts, one can discover a new definition of solitude. The Trail here offers one of the few coastal wilderness hiking experiences in the United States. Hikers are treated to exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities such as sea lions, elephant seals, river otters, eagles, bobcats, deer and more. Tidepools, teaming with life, line the coast. In spring, spectacular arrays of wildflowers cover the hillsides and bluffs. Mountain meadows, old-growth forests, and ridgetop vistas through coastal chaparral offer an interesting contrast to the northern leg of the Lost Coast, with its massive redwood groves and fern clad glens of Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, where a herd of Roosevelt Elk roams the area from Chemise Mountain.
