Deer Ranch, A Modern Redwood Sanctuary in Occidental

Mid-Century Style • Private 4-Acre Estate • Hot Tub & Plunge Pool

Escape to Deer Ranch, a meticulously remodeled contemporary gem inspired by mid-century architecture of the era. Perched atop a private hill on four acres of serene meadows and towering redwoods, this home offers a "peaceful seclusion" vibe while being just 1.3 miles (a 3-minute drive) from the charming hamlet of Occidental.

The Space
Inside, the home is a masterclass in California Modernism. You’ll find vaulted wood-beam ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and a cozy wood-burning stove perfect for cool coastal nights. The designer-owner has thoughtfully preserved the home’s original soul—like the sculptural redwood gas stovetop vent—while integrating state-of-the-art stainless appliances and a fully remodeled luxury bathroom.

Indoor/Outdoor Flow: Oversized glass sliders lead from the open living areas to expansive redwood decks.

Artisan Craftsmanship: In a true full-circle story, the owner utilized three redwoods from the property to mill the wood for the custom decks, picnic tables, and outdoor furniture.

The Amenities: Soak in the year-round hot tub under the stars or cool off in the seasonal plunge pool (available late May through September).

Layout & Comfort
Living: Two distinct living areas designed with high-end furniture and "clean line" aesthetics.

Sleep: Two tranquil bedrooms designed for rest.

Bath: A sleek, fully remodeled spa-like bathroom.

Nature: The home is positioned to catch sunlight from dawn until dusk, illuminating the interior through massive picture windows.

Guest Access & Safety Notes
We want you to have a seamless stay! Please note the following:

Laundry: The laundry room and adjacent closet are reserved for owner use and are off-limits to guests.

Pet Policy: We love well-behaved dogs! One dog is permitted with a $100 pet cleaning fee (billed separately).

Child Safety: Due to the home’s unique architecture—including multiple decks, steep staircases, and uneven natural terrain—the property is not suitable for infants or toddlers. We warmly welcome families with children aged 7 and older.

The Drive: Our hilltop location offers incredible views but involves winding roads with limited cell service. We strongly recommend a daylight arrival. Please download offline maps prior to your trip.

Privacy & Security
For your peace of mind, the property features exterior cameras (driveway, entry, carport, and kitchen back deck) to monitor for wildlife and security. To ensure your total privacy, these cameras do not record during active guest reservations.
