‘Untamed’ Oceanfront Ranch on California’s Lost Coast Lists for $10.95 Million—Complete With 788 Acres and a Herd of Zebras

An unbelievable opportunity to own a 788-acre working ranch in Ferndale, CA, has just become available for $10.95 million—with the listing photos revealing a rare set of amenities, including a herd of zebras that are seen roaming across the astonishing property.

The coastal estate known as Lost Coast Ocean Ranch is perched above the Pacific Ocean and offers breathtaking views of the cliffs of Cape Mendocino.

A 5,500-square-foot primary residence built by Napa Valley artisan Castello di Amorosa sits at the heart of the expansive property and boasts hand-carved stone, radiant concrete floors, a Mendota gas fireplace, and retractable glass walls that open up to the outdoor living area.

The kitchen features high-end appliances and is "ready for your final finishing touches," according to the listing. While most of the main level has been modernized, the second floor "remains unfinished" but the sale includes conceptual plans to create four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

There is also a hay barn from the 1800s along with a 900-square-foot garden house found on the sprawling lot that is also home to an abundance of wildlife.

For all these reasons—and many more—the unique property, which remarkably features a herd of zebras grazing outside of the main residence, has shot to the top of the week's most popular homes list.

Also grabbing attention this week are a historic Federal-style townhouse in New York, a uniquely designed round house in California, and a very affordable rustic farmhouse retreat in Florida.
