The Sea Ranch is a rugged landscape, dotted with distinctive homes, that extends for about ten miles on either side of Highway One in coastal Sonoma County, California. The building design constitutes an architectural vernacular that is world-renowned. Its hallmark is the attempt to blend man-made structures with their natural setting, and to “live lightly on the land.”
Gary knows the owner of the enviable Obie Bowman house and enjoyed a two-week stay with Deanne and fam. We visited for the weekend.
What I found most beautiful about The Sea Ranch — other than the thoughtful architecture — is that nearly every view is dominated by five large fields of color: the pale brown untreated wood of the homes, the mustard grass, the deep green cypress groves, and the blues of sea and sky.
