6951 Road 18 Road

Little River Retreat In the sunbelt above the coastal fog, tucked among meadows and redwoods 3.5 miles up Little River Airport Road from Highway 1 and 2.5 miles direct to the coast, this 1.58-acre property spans two parcels held and used as one -- privacy, space, and versatility a short distance from Mendocino's shops and restaurants and one mile from Little River Airport. Entrances from both Road 18 and Road 19. Three bedrooms and two baths across approximately 2,155 square feet, expanded with a permitted addition and later refreshed with new windows and skylights that pull coastal light deep into the house. The kitchen anchors the home with quartz counters, a stained-glass window over the farmhouse sink, gas range, and hanging pot rack above a live-edge bar. The great room rises to an exposed redwood truss ceiling with skylights over wide-plank floors and a woodstove; a second living room sits under a vaulted beamed ceiling with an arched doorway. The primary bedroom is vaulted with French doors to the garden. Dedicated laundry room. Wood floors throughout, heated floors in the primary bath, tiled shower and new vanities, forced air propane heat. The detached day room is a standout -- vaulted beamed ceiling, skylights, wood floors, French doors to a covered deck, and a separate sitting room with clerestory windows to the trees, plus a covered path and outdoor shower. Not permitted for living purposes; ideal as a studio, office, or hobby space. Also on the property: a permitted garage with attached craft room and running water, skylit and framed in exposed fir with built-in workbenches, plus two carports and room for an RV. Outside, a curved gravel terrace with fire pit and seating sits at the edge of the lawn, framed by stock-tank planters and container gardens against a redwood and fir backdrop. Flagstone paths, deck and patio areas, perimeter fencing, and an established garden with fruit trees. Room to roam for dogs, and open meadow with RR zoning that may accommodate horses, subject to buyer verification with the county. Private well with storage and treatment, recently upgraded septic, PG&E, and internet service. Albion-Little River Fire District, Station 812, approximately one mile away. Mendocino Unified School District, with a school bus stop at the end of Road 19. Both parcels sold together, not separately
