Little River | $820,000
A 1944 cottage with two bedrooms and one bathroom, on a 1.6-acre lot
This house has had only two owners since it was built, and much of its original fairy-tale charm including the low ceilings, leaded-glass windows and vine-covered exterior has been preserved. The property is in a small community with a few hundred year-round residents, most of whom make the six-mile trip to the center of Mendocino for shopping and services. The area is home to several notable hotels, including Heritage House Resort and Spa, which is on the beach just across the street from this house.

Rancho Mirage | $724,999
A midcentury-modern-inspired house built in 1978, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, on a one-acre lot
Built in the late 1970s, this house was updated by Thomas Troy, a local builder and designer known for contemporary interpretations of midcentury-modern style. In addition to an interior makeover, the house got a new roof and an outdoor water feature.
The property is part of the Springs Country Club, one of 13 golf resorts in Rancho Mirage, and is adjacent to Eisenhower Health, one of the largest hospital complexes in the Coachella Valley. Downtown Palm Springs is about half an hour away; Los Angeles is about a two-hour drive; and Las Vegas is a four-hour drive.
