Property Description
An origin story dating back to 1861 when early coastal pioneer Michael Donohue was said to be searching for a place where he could have 'The hills at his back and the sea at his feet'. Owned by the same family dynasty for over 160 years, the original ranch encompassed what is now the town of Elk (formerly Greenwood). The Donohue House stands with prominence and prestige on nearly 200 acres at the foot of the hills; in full view of the town. This over 2,500 sqft 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 story home with detached garage and loft has been well cared for over time. For years, the family raised the famous Cuffey's Cove red potato in which they shipped to San Francisco just a few hours south of the ranch. In addition the ranch has been used for raising sheep, cattle and harvesting timber off the land. The ranch offers panoramic ocean-views as far as the eye can see from nearly every angle. From bluff-top to over 800 feet of elevation the ranch offers unparalleled south facing views over the town of Elk, Manchester Beach and the Point Arena Light House. In addition, the property sits adjacent to the world renowned Harbor House a Michelin Two-Starred restaurant. For over 160 years, the ranch has stood as a monument to the great legacy of the founders of the community of Elk. But now as the last rays of golden sun cast across the banks of Greenwood, the tides of everlasting change bring forth the opportunity for a new legacy to be forged in time.
