Location & Lifestyle

Recognized by Forbes Magazine as 1 of “America’s prettiest towns”, this California community is nestled along an awe-inspiring coastline and adjacent to the world-famous Redwoods. This is a phenomenal community with high growth, an affordable real estate market, and less than a one-hour flight from San Francisco. This is a place to let go and enjoy the wonders of unspoiled nature and abundant wildlife in amazing diverse habitats. Ancient redwoods reach hundreds of feet into the sky arching over pristine waters of both the wild and scenic rivers as each meander through the forests and empty into the magnificent Pacific Ocean.
