A Sea Ranch Stunner With a Green Roof Asks $1.3M
Set in the rolling hills of Northern California’s legendary Sea Ranch community, the Kirkwood House was designed in 1972 by architect Paul Hamilton. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence observes the community’s tenets of perching lightly on the land; in fact, from some angles the green-roofed residence seems to just barely peek out from the surrounding grass.
