Escaping the heat, fires, tired of COVID, Tech industry decentralizing? Looking to invest in real estate you can afford -- with a mortgage less than you're paying for that overpriced studio apartment in the city? Consider Mendocino County -- where you can find acreage with a home just 3 hours north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The beautiful Mendocino Coast includes the Anderson Valley wine region, and the coastal towns of Little River, Albion, Mendocino and Ft. I've lived in this area since 1999 after escaping Silicon Valley's tech industry in 1999 and moving here full time. Yes, you can telecommute part or full time and live the dream. Feel free to ask me questions! I can help you find a vacation home, farm, winery, food business, AirBnB, inn, or downsize/early retirement in a friendly, safe, family-friendly, artistic and eco-conscious community.
