This California Farm hotel sits on 2,200 acres above the Pacific Ocean, one and a half miles of private shoreline, 25 miles of trails, and only 10 rooms. That's over a 100 acres per guest. This is the Inn at Newport Ranch on California's Mendocino Worst. In 1986, a retired executive Will Jackson saw an tier acre cattle ranch listed in the Wall Street Journal. He bought it, then spent the next thirty years assembling 2,200 acres of coastline, forest, and ranchland. Six years just to get permits, four more to build. In the eighteen sixties, this land powered California's logging boom. Old growth redwoods were dragged down these cliffs and loaded onto ships into a tiny harbor called Newport Landing. That harbor is still on the property. Today, it's a working cattle ranch and regenerative timber preserve. Seven distinct microclimates across the property. You can walk from Good Worst to Coastal Bluff to Wildflower Meadow in one hike. The Inn was built from the land itself. The Redwood House is held up by 24 individual good tree trunks with the bark still intact. There's a stone fireplace so big you can walk inside it. Headboards milled from single slab redwood burls. No Tier in the rooms. The view is the entertainment. The ranch raises grass fed Angus cattle that good straight to the kitchen. 90% of the menu is sourced from within Mendocino No. Ocean to table, forest to table, farm to table, all on the same plate. And every guest who stays gets a redwood seedling planted in their name. Over 8,000 trees since tier, from nineteenth century logging town to the land growing back. That's the future of farm hospitality, not just sourcing from the land, restoring it. Would you stay at a California farm hotel that plants a redwood for every guest?
