Your weekends start here. About 3 hours from San Francisco via the scenic Anderson Valley wine route, this 119-acre private forest estate sits above the coastal fog in the redwood hills of Comptche, offering the kind of space, quiet, and privacy that simply doesn't exist closer to the city. Arrive Friday evening, light the woodstove/fireplace, and feel the week fall away. The rustic two-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,851 square feet of comfortable living, with sweeping forest and mountain views from the main living areas. A family room and separate dining room give everyone space to spread out, and the kitchen, with its gas range, is made for long, slow dinners after a day outdoors. Starlink/high-speed internet makes it easy to stretch a weekend into a long one and work remotely, while generator/backup power keeps things running when the grid doesn't. Outside, the land is yours to explore. Towering redwoods and Douglas fir, trails/old logging roads winding through the property, a seasonal creek/meadow/ridgetop clearing, and room to hike, ride, garden, or simply sit and listen. Mornings are for coffee in the sun on the deck; evenings are for gathering around the fire pit under a sky full of stars. With 119 acres there is room to grow, whether that means a guest cabin or studio subject to county approval or a private compound for gathering friends and family. The practical details are covered too. A 3-car garage and parking for seven leave space for vehicles, a workshop, and all your gear. Well/spring water with storage. Recent defensible space and fire-safety work. Maintained road access. Local caretaker available. The village of Mendocino, with its galleries, restaurants, and dramatic headlands, is a short drive west, along with Big River, Van Damme, and miles of coastline. Anderson Valley tasting rooms, Fort Bragg, and Ukiah are all within easy reach. Spring wildflowers, long golden summers, crisp fall days, and winter weekends by the fire: every season gives you a reason to make the drive. A well-managed forest adds long-term land value as a bonus. Rare acreage, total privacy, and true redwood country, at a fraction of Bay Area prices. This is the weekend place you've been looking for.
