Property Description

Purchased as 'fixer' in the Mendocino Village in 2001, what followed was a multi-year labor of love to restore and preserve the historic Bettencourt House and Water Tower Barn. Arguably one of finest locations on the coveted western edge of the village, this compound offers stunning, unobstructed, 180-degree views of the bay and the Pacific Ocean. The transformation carefully balanced the historic with the contemporary adding modern comforts like radiant heating, custom cabinetry, and updated systems. The main residence, sporting shiplap and shingle siding, is set high on the south-facing parcel and offers views from virtually every room. Upon entering the home, you step into the spacious living room featuring large picture windows that offer stunning views of the native-scaped gardens and the ocean beyond. This space wraps around to a dining area and separate den. The custom kitchen features Shaker-style cherry cabinetry, teak and reclaimed marble countertops, original Douglas Fir flooring, and walk-in pantry. Next to the kitchen, is a full bath with farmhouse sink, cherry storage cabinet, vanity, shower, and WC clad in the original board and batten. The primary suite with a wash basin and WC, occupies the entire second level. The water tower, located over the gabled barn, was originally constructed in 1905, then restored and converted into an exquisite living space in 2006. The rustic exterior and interior structural posts, flooring and ceiling beams lends perspective on the meticulous design and detailed craftsmanship that went into this structure. The restoration included the careful integration of custom woodwork that make the spaces unique and purposeful. Within the barn you'll find two sitting areas (one with a discreet murphy bed); a bathroom with separate WC and a shower room; and a separate laundry room and office. Quite possibly the most endearing and unique feature of this structure is the 'hidden bedroom' located behind a seamlessly integrated door panel. Adjacent to that panel, you'll also find a walk-in closet, storage area and access to the attic. With hand to shovel, the nearly half acre of dead grass and brambles was transformed into a gardener's paradise of terraced gardens showcasing native vegetation, verdant colors and infinite textures. Mendocino Historic District Preservation Award: Outstanding commitment to historic preservation through the careful restoration and rehabilitation of the Bettencourt House & Water Tower Barn
