Life

Absolute Zen

For the first time in nearly six years, this exquisite home is available for long term rental. Absolute Zen is not merely a mountain home nestled perfectly among coast redwoods—it is a true energy vortex. Living here is believing. Once a meditation retreat, it serves as an artist’s cabin and treehouse all in one—with soaring redwoods climbing through the deck and surrounding the entire house. This home is ideal for those who can telecommute and work remotely, or as a retreat to escape the congestion of urban life. Located 15 minutes from Sonoma Coast beaches, one mile from downtown Guerneville, close to Armstrong Woods State Reserve, and with river access nearby. Just a short 15 minute drive to the heart of the Russian River Valley’s wine country, about 20 minutes to downtown Santa Rosa, and 40 minutes from Healdsburg.

New tenants will join loving neighbors in caring for her and feeding her. Food costs will be covered by landlord. She is the steward and protector of Absolute Zen and her name is Tini.
