The Mendocino Coast

There is a kind of property the portals don't know how to describe: forty acres above the surf with a spring, a stand of redwoods, and no power line in sight. Buying it well requires someone who has walked land like it as an owner — checked the well output, priced the solar array, argued with the county about the road.

Eric has done all of that on his own Mendocino property. He represents coastal homes, legacy acreage, off-grid and self-sufficient retreats, and the vineyard and short-term-rental investments that make the north coast quietly productive as well as beautiful.

For city buyers dreaming of an exit plan — a weekend place, a fallback, or the full off-grid life — Eric is the rare agent who can tell you what the dream actually costs to run.
