The exterior of 33711 S Highway 1 in Stewart’s Point, listed at $6,000,000.

Have you ever heard of Stewart’s Point, California?  Neither had we, until we came upon this unique and modern 4,905 square-foot home on Highway 1 near Gualala.  This home is located on a whopping 218 acres of forest on the Sonoma Coast and has been featured in numerous interior and architectural books and magazines.

The patio and deck outside the dining room and kitchen.

The house is composed of three pavilions connected by a floating metal roof and multiple decks. The rustic wood of the decks and the outdoor fireplace warm up the modern feel of the house.

The view is dog-approved.

We keep thinking of that old saying about people who live in glass houses, but we’d be willing to give it a try.  For more information on this property, which is listed by Wendy Storch  & Peter Colbert from Sotheby’s, view the website here.
