LITTLE RIVER RETREATIn the sunbelt above the coastal fog, tucked among meadows and redwoods 3.5 miles up Little River Airport Road from Highway 1 and 2.5 miles direct to the coast, this 1.58-acre property spans two parcels held and used as one -- privacy, space, and versatility a short distance from Mendocino's shops and restaurants and one mile from Little River Airport. Entrances from both Road 18 and Road 19.Three bedrooms and two baths across approximately 2,155 square feet, expanded with a permitted addition and later refreshed with new windows and skylights that pull coastal light deep into the house.
