The land
Private Park
Redwood grove below, mixed evergreen forest above, and a loop trail that ties the two building sites together.
Redwoods
A grove at the front door
Coast redwoods grow from central California to British Columbia, never far from the ocean's influence. Around Healdsburg they favor north-facing slopes, where summer heat is gentler.
This property has dozens of them, mostly around the primary building site. They give shade, quiet, and a frame for the view east.
Douglas fir
Sunnier ground above
Higher up, where it is drier and brighter, the redwoods give way to mixed evergreen forest: Douglas fir, Pacific madrone and tanoak, with black oak mixed in. The second building site sits here.
Trails
A loop of nearly a mile
The trenches that will carry power and water between the well and the two building sites can double as trail beds. Linking the lower site, upper site and well, and returning on Nidva Lane, makes a loop of nearly one mile.
