Is there any greater luxury than that of owning something that is truly unique? The properties you see here are one-of-a kind. They are homes that have been fashioned with every convenience and special feature possible, with materials that you love to look at and touch every day. They are located in spectacular places. They are houses that you will always be proud to call home.

The land parcels are also very special. They have extraordinary views and voluptuous terrain. The things you need to make your dream of luxury living come true are here for the taking.

Mendocino Luxury is about showcasing the best that Mendocino County has to offer. This undiscovered country is no longer a secret. People from every part of the country, and even the world, are looking to our shores and our fertile hills and valleys for an escape from the ordinary into a lifestyle they could only dream of.

Many buyers are hop-scotching over the more crowded Northern California counties of Napa and Sonoma. Here in Mendocino Country our zoning code and the watchful eye of the Coastal Commission are safeguards against the destruction of the very jewel of the North Coast: long stretches of public beaches and large chunks of land preserved from development; glorious coastal mountains and secret valleys that offer peace and a respite from the everyday mad rush. Less than 82,000 call this County home, in an area roughly 100 miles by 100 miles.

Yet you don't have to give up the "good life" to live here: great restaurants, a vital social and cultural life, and good emergency and medical services are available. Coming here you realize that you might have to drive a bit longer to enjoy what we have to offer, but imagine a shopping trip without long lines — a first-run movie without reservations. And the best things in life are still free here: velvety star-filled nights and heady summer days. A taste of wine from the barrel at a world-class winery. A view of the rocky north shore in the clutches of a wild winter storm. A grey whale cruising off­shore who waves his flukes at you. A view "to die for" from the crest of a hiking trail. The perfect wave for surfing, or a little used mountain bike trail. A steelhead or salmon on the end of your line or an abalone fresh from the sea.

It's all here — and you don't have to give up one iota of your lifestyle to make it happen.
