About The Property

A Serene Oceanfront Oasis

Welcome to Manchester Ranch, a hidden gem on the Mendocino Coast, offering guests an exclusive retreat into nature’s untouched beauty. Spread across ten acres of remote oceanfront ranchland, our property is a sanctuary of peace and privacy, with a locked gate ensuring a secluded experience for our guests.

Unparalleled Privacy and Natural Splendor

Manchester Ranch is defined by its vast expanses of natural grasslands that stretch to meet the rugged California coastline. The property’s unique location provides an unmatched sense of privacy and exclusivity, inviting guests to explore and relax in a setting that’s all their own.

A Trail to Your Private Beach

One of the ranch’s most treasured features is the private access to a stunning scenic beach, a wild and wide expanse of sand privately owned up to the median high tide line. A rugged switchback trail, exclusive to our guests, winds down from the pretty garden through grasslands to this secluded beach, offering an intimate experience with the Pacific Ocean’s majesty.
