About this property

Heart Stopping Ocean Views, Secluded Getaway, Whale Watching

Stillwell Point offers guests a sky high, heart stopping view of Little River's rocky coastal cliffs, islands, and sea arches. This unique glass and stone hideaway sits perched on the very edge of a steep sheer drop . . . hundreds of feet above Buckhorn Cove. This is the soaring domain of the osprey and the hawk . . . in which you can share.

Even indoors, you are surrounded by sky, sea, and sunshine . . . thanks to Stillwell Point's wraparound view windows and sliding glass doors which lead to a pair of patios on the cliff's edge.

If the weather turns wet or wintry . . . and, you literally find Stillwell Point wrapped in the midst of clouds . . . there's a huge stone fireplace just waiting to keep you warm and dry, a million miles away from the worries of your everyday world.

Our home was built into the hidden hillside, incorporating natural materials that were washed up on shore such as huge wood pilings, driftwood, shells, starfish, local river stones, old glass buoys, and ancient ship anchors which add to the charm. Native plants and wild flowers blanket the cliff which overlooks the sea below.

My in-laws designed and built the home in the 1960s. My husband's family has lived in Mendocino and Little River since the early 1800s. They were avid sailors and also loved Hawaii and had a home there as well. The Hawaiian details are from that influence. My brother in law was a woodworker and built most of the wood furniture in the home. The satellite maps in the map bedroom came from NASA.
We have never updated the home to preserve the original design and realize that the home has a lot of quirks. Sliding doors, windows, floor heaters, refrigerator and dishwasher have all been replaced recently.
