On a windswept ridge, where the earth meets the sky in a timeless dance, a multigenerational family is crafting a sanctuary overlooking Tomales Bay. Here, amidst 500 acres of untamed beauty, they are weaving a tapestry of connection and reverence for the land.
In their quest for a retreat that honors native ecosystems and horticulture, they have embarked on a journey of discovery—a journey that embraces the rhythms of nature and celebrates the interconnectedness of all living things.
As they perfect their gathering place, swathes of very low-water native and drought-adapted plants emerge, creating a sense of arrival and grounding the house in the embrace of the land. Each leaf, each bloom, is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, a living expression of their deep reverence for the earth.
In this landscape of dreams, where the patterns of the surrounding landscape are brought close, the family finds solace and inspiration—a reminder of their place in the vast tapestry of life. And as they gather together, beneath the vast expanse of sky, they are reminded of the sacred bond that connects them to each other and to the land that sustains us all.
