From Lou Rosenberger

Conceived by local artist/architect Ralph Matheson of Gualala [ art.mcn.org/Ral... ], SHIOSAI (meaning sounds of the waves) is a distinguished and architecturally significant custom home that enjoys an enviable location above the mighty Pacific affording unobstructed whitewater views of the rugged Mendocino coast, Cook's Beach and Fish Rock. Enjoy spectacular sunsets and witness the sight of migrating whales through walls of glass from the comfort of your private retreat. The reverse floor plan provides single-level living by including the living areas and the master bedroom, with two full baths en suite, on the upper view level. A barrel-vaulted skylight that runs the length of the home lets in the sunshine and moonlight. A spacious and bright kitchen will satisfy the resident gourmand with new appliances including a gas cooktop. The lower level features a large ocean view guest bedroom and a spacious guest bath. Adjacent to the main home is a two-car garage and attached studio with half bath. The galleries, restaurants and shopping in Gualala are just a few minutes away. Walk to Cook's Beach in minutes.
