About this property

Historic La Bella Vista - Walk to Van Damme State Park Beach!

Historic La Bella Vista offers truly exceptional ocean views from almost every room. Originally the Marsan’s Blacksmith Shop in the 1800s, this home allows you to experience a piece of history. The custom kitchen offers mesmerizing coastal views. If you don’t feel like cooking, Little River Inn and Wild Fish Restaurants are just a short ½ mile car ride away, as well as the many dining opportunities offered two miles away in the Mendocino Village. View Van Damme State Park beach from the tranquil garden, spa, deck, or patio and enjoy the sounds of the surf while watching the many seabirds and wildlife. Kayak Mendocino offers professionally guided sea cave tours where you can experience the beauty of the ocean while sitting on top of an ocean kayak. Across the street from the beach is Van Damme State Park which includes the Fern Canyon Trail system and offers hiking through acres of lush fern and pygmy forest. Also, direct access to the Spring Ranch Preserve trails with great hiking and biking along the scenic cliff line is close by. Like to golf? The Little River ocean views golf course is nearby. La Bella Vista is the perfect location to make once-in-a-lifetime memories.
