Tarp House

The Tarp House is an iconic Sea Ranch home evolved over 40 years by renowned architect FAIA Obie Bowman, winner of the 2022 Sea Ranch Distinguished Architect Award. Showcasing vintage design alongside contemporary art—including works by Analia Saban, Sharon Lockhart, Laura Owens, Jorge Mendez Blake, Javier Tellez, Stephen Prina, and Gerard&Kelly, among many others—this gorgeous three-bedroom retreat has been lovingly preserved and restored and includes numerous modern amenities. Perfect for a serene extended family getaway, this unique piece of The Sea Ranch's history disappears into the landscape and envelopes its inhabitants in the forest, with a main house that includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loft for lounging with a permanent ladder open to the living room below. From the king suite, which features a stunning architectural screen, an elevated private walkway leads to a gorgeous hot tub housed in a cedar and glass pavilion. The main house features a strikingly designed and fully-outfitted period designer chef’s kitchen, which connects the separate dining room to expansive outdoor decks for outdoor dining or barbecues on the gas grill. An open-air bridge connects the main house with a spacious king studio suite that cantilevers out below the forest canopy behind a glass wall, with a full bath, Peloton bike, and ample room for yoga under its soaring ceilings and inspiring views to the redwoods. From this prime south Sea Ranch location, you will be walking distance from some of the most important early houses by MLTW and Joseph Esherick, as well as minutes away from taking in the heated pool and Supergraphics at the Moonraker Rec Center or enjoying dinner from a cliff-side view at The Sea Ranch Lodge.
