3078 Sand Pointe Dr
McKinleyville, CA
Ocean Views. Coastal Setting. A Well-Developed Path to Building.
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Sand Pointe community, 3078 Sand Pointe Drive offers a rare opportunity to create an exceptional coastal home in a setting that is difficult to duplicate.
With ocean views, a natural windbreak from neighboring trees and the Hammond Trail bordering two sides of the property, the homesite combines privacy, open space and immediate access to one of the area's most loved recreational trails.
What makes this property especially unique is how far the vision for the site has already been developed.
Over the past two years, the owners have assembled a talented design and construction team and invested extensively in creating a high-performance home specifically for this property. Architectural plans, a topographic survey, soils analysis, site studies, landscape planning, preliminary engineering and detailed energy-performance analysis have already been completed or substantially developed.
The proposed home has been thoughtfully positioned in response to the coastal environment. Detailed studies considered seasonal sun patterns and prevailing winds, helping inform the placement and orientation of the residence on the property.
The design takes the concept considerably further than a typical new home. Extensive energy modeling explored ways to achieve exceptional comfort, durability and efficiency, including a high-performance building envelope, triple-pane windows, airtight construction, fresh-air ventilation with heat and moisture recovery, and all-electric mechanical systems.
The current design envisions approximately 2,263 square feet of interior treated floor area, with expansive glazing carefully considered as part of the home's energy modeling and connection to its surroundings.
Just as importantly, the project isn't locked into someone else's choices. Interior finishes have not yet been selected, giving a new owner the opportunity to personalize the home and make it their own while benefiting from the significant amount of planning already completed.
The established project team includes Valerie Allen of Allen Atelier as architect and Ryan Hayes and Rick Zumbrun of HZ Buildworks as contractors, with particular experience in passive-home construction. The team has indicated that they would be willing to continue the project with a new owner.
This is not simply a vacant parcel with a set of conceptual plans. It is an opportunity to take over a carefully considered vision, personalize it, and move forward along a well-developed path to building—saving a new owner from having to begin the design and site-planning process at square one.
3078 Sand Pointe Drive offers the chance to create something truly special on the Northern California coast, with much of the groundwork already behind you and the opportunity to make the rest entirely your own.
