Very private, luxury property with spectacular ocean views, perfect for a family outing or surprise intimate getaway.
This custom, gated blufftop home overlooks Albion's picturesque Navarro Beach, where the Navarro River meets the Pacific Ocean. Listen to the soothing sounds of the waves and marvel in the panoramic views from anywhere along wrap-around deck, including from the radiating warmth of the amazing, heated Galanter & Jones loveseat. Watch the sun melt into the Pacific while relaxing with a glass of award-winning, locally-crafted wine or cider. Grab a few fluffy towels, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and stargaze on a cool, clear night in the secluded, roomy hot tub, located on its own deck. Its 58 hydrotherapy jets will ease you into your getaway.
An established, popular vacation home on the Mendocino coast, Baleen - named for the blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) that can be seen from the deck during migration - was exquisitely furnished by a professional decorator and completely renovated from the ground up. It is a meticulous melding of comfort and serenity, and includes:
- two private, gorgeous bedroom suites (plus two queen-sized, customized sofabeds--one in each lounge)
- 3 full bathrooms (complete with heated floors)
- full gourmet kitchen
- Speed Queen washer/dryer
-A Lopi cast-iron gas stove with 3-sided bay windows (and remote) to curl up and watch the dancing flames from all angles on cold nights - no smoke and no scout badge required to start it!
-A backup generator with automatic transfer switch to seamlessly provide power to entire house in the event of a power outage or shut-off
- all the expected (and even unexpected) amenities of a luxury vacation home, including multiple flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth-enabled stereo, commercial cooktop/indoor grill, double wall stoves, granite countertops of rose quartz and labradorite, local artwork, designer furniture, bamboo flooring throughout the first floor, and a telescope for whale watching.
The activities you can enjoy are endless. Take a leisurely sunrise or sunset walk or brisk jog along the open, secluded stretch of sand below the house: access is just a minute's drive down the hill to free, beachfront parking. (There is no direct beach access from the house.) Travel a few miles south to Elk and experience the exquisite cuisine of chef Matt Kammerer at his 2 Michelin-starred restaurant in The Harbor House Inn. You can also head north for several miles to dine at one of several fine renowned restaurants like Ledford House. Then go for a stroll in downtown Mendocino, soak in the landscape, or take a drive up the coast. Try the award-winning Anderson Valley wines just east of Baleen. Experience Mendocino at a slow, inspired pace.

Summary: I have stayed at many vacation homes on California's north coast, but Baleen is the most special one I've stayed at. The home is incredibly beautiful and comfortable, with lots of special touches. From the stocked kitchen, high quality appliances, soft/thick towels, beautiful bedrooms; to the amazing location, deck, view of the ocean (whales and sea lions) and excellent hot tub. Throughout my visit, communications with Margie were outstanding and very helpful. There was a fierce wind storm and power outage, but because the house has a backup generator, my visit wasn't impacted. Margie has created an amazing home and based on my experience, is someone that truly wants her guests to love and enjoy their time on the coast.
