Modern Occidental Retreat

Modern Occidental Retreat

Tucked away on the edge of hundreds of acres of preserved parkland, this remodeled modern retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, sunshine, and connection to nature. Just minutes from vibrant downtown Occidental yet surrounded by towering redwoods, open trails, and protected land on two sides, it truly feels like your own sanctuary.

Though legally a one-bedroom, the home easily lives like a three-bedroom with flexible spaces that invite creativity, comfort, and ease. Expansive wraparound decks blur the line between indoors and out, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or stargazing around the firepit. Big valley views and endless fresh air make every moment here feel restorative.

Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams create an airy, inviting feel. The remodeled kitchen is designed for both beauty and function, with stainless steel appliances, an induction range, and thoughtful finishes. Fiber internet—the fastest in the county—means you can work or stream with ease, all while immersed in nature.

The property itself is magical: fantastic sun exposure, glorious redwoods, and fruit trees (apple, persimmon, pear, berries) alongside a generous garden for year-round abundance. Multiple outbuildings—a detached office, storage, and workshop/art studio—expand the possibilities, while a glamping guest yurt welcomes visitors to share in the experience.

This is parkside living at its best: step directly into old-growth redwood trails, world-class mountain biking, and the cycling center of the universe. Return home to unmatched privacy, beauty, and a sense of place that's truly one of a kind.
