Description
Mendocino magic in the best location! Cedric Hollingsworth was a wood artisan of the finest ilk, and now there is an opportunity to own the very best of the homes that he built. Cedric had a reputation for building his homes around him as he lived in them, with the rough-hewn beams sourced mainly from the old trestle bridges during the timber hey-days. Entry into each of his rooms opens up a new vista of imagination. Such craftsmanship and attention to every detail unfold in a rich tapestry - massive fireplaces contrast with delicate touches and a sense of whimsy, all hand-carved in exotic woods. With custom metal work, wide hewn planks, clever door handles, and superb cabinetry, this marvelous home is a delight - not unlike the enchantment of J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit house. Large custom barn contains distinct spaces for a workshop and separate art studio. The large garden area with raised beds for self-sustainability was formerly a horse corral and could easily be converted, if desired. The property borders the 300 acre Point Cabrillo Marine and Nature Preserve. The ocean view is filtered but could be opened up for wide, unobstructed blue and whitewater views. Indian Shoals is one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the Mendocino Coast, and the home and gardens are quiet and serene. For a combined total acreage of approx 3 acres and increased view protection and privacy, the adjacent lot located at 45400 Indian Shoals is listed separately; buyer of 45350 Indian Shoals will have right of first refusal on this vacant but buildable lot. The magic of this home is unsurpassed and must be seen. Impossible to replicate the authenticity of this home in today's terms. Owner has been true and exacting to Hollingsworth's original vision. Don't miss this one, it's unique beyond compare - first time on the market in 16 years!
