This elegant, well-lit, artistically furnished 1,300 sq. ft. home sits on a hill above the tiny and relaxed village of Inverness, just minutes away from Point Reyes National Seashore and Tomales Bay State Parks with their miles of beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and nature. Historic Point Reyes Station with its supermarket, restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries lies just 15 minutes away. San Francisco is a little over one-hour drive South. Designed and owned by the renowned ecological architect, Sim Van der Ryn, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom Ridge House features a wrap-around deck of 376 sq feet with a gorgeous view of Tomales Bay framed by the tops of trees. Three sliding glass doors open onto that deck; one off the living room, one off the dining room; and the last from one of the bedrooms. The Ridge House and its private grounds are situated at the edge of a serene mostly flat 5-acre, parcel dotted with majestic Oak, Bishop Pine, and Laurel Bay forests, sunny open areas, and well-landscaped ornamental and vegetable gardens shared by two other houses, such that each house has its own generous private grounds, but there are additional shared areas. Some of the gardens, bocce ball playing, and a Yurt that has a gym in it are shared areas. A vegetable gardening box can be provided to a tenant who wishes to garden. The house is available for a six-month lease. The house comes fully furnished and includes utilities. This living here is a super treat for a person seeking comfort, peace, and serenity in a gorgeous house and land. Contact the owner soon to schedule a tour if you are interested.
Lease needs to be secured with first month's rent at least four months in advance of the move in date. By the time of move in date, the refundable $3,000 security deposit (for extra-ordinary cleaning costs and/or damages) plus last month's rent must be paid. Optimum lease will be 6 months, though 2 - 5 months will be considered.
