About 31170 Thomas Lane
Positioned on 2.35 private acres just beyond the coastal fog yet only five minutes from the Mendocino coastline, this beautifully maintained residence offers the perfect balance of sunshine, privacy, and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees and peaceful natural beauty, the property provides an idyllic setting while remaining just moments from beaches, hiking trails, and the charm of the Mendocino Coast. Spanning 2,019+/- square feet, the three-bedroom, two-bath home is designed for comfortable living with soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open-concept floor plan that seamlessly connects the spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the layout is equally functional and inviting. Privately situated, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with its own deck overlooking the surrounding trees and a luxurious soaking tub that invites relaxation after a day spent exploring the coast. The current owners have taken exceptional pride in maintaining the property, completing extensive maintenance while investing in meaningful upgrades that add long-term value and peace of mind. Recent improvements include an upgraded water purification system and enhanced whole-property security, ensuring the home is as dependable as it is inviting. Additional highlights include a whole-house Generac generator, an on-demand water heater, updated lighting, and a paved driveway that complement the property's everyday functionality and comfort. Adding even greater value is the opportunity already in place for future expansion. The sellers have invested considerable time and expense by initiating and paying for the permitting process for a detached garage. This allows the next owner to step into the process and make their own decisions regarding the final design and construction, providing a valuable head start while creating a space tailored to their needs. Offering the rare combination of sunshine, usable acreage, modern infrastructure, future development potential, and the added flexibility of being located outside the Coastal Zone, this is a property where thoughtful ownership meets endless possibility. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a place with room to grow, this property delivers the best of Mendocino County--privacy, sunshine, and the Pacific Ocean just minutes from your doorstep.
