An origin story dating back to 1861 when early coastal pioneer Michael Donohue was said to be searching for a place where he could have 'The hills at his back and the sea at his feet'. Owned by the same family dynasty for over 160 years, the original ranch encompassed what is now the town of Elk (formerly Greenwood). The Donohue House stands with prominence and prestige on nearly 200 acres at the foot of the hills; in full view of the town. This over 2,500 sqft 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 story home with detached garage and loft has been well cared for over time. For years, the family raised the famous Cuffey's Cove red potato in which they shipped to San Francisco just a few hours south of the ranch. In addition the ranch has been used for raising sheep, cattle and harvesting timber off the land. The ranch offers panoramic ocean-views as far as the eye can see from nearly every angle. From bluff-top to over 800 feet of elevation the ranch offers unparalleled south facing views over the town of Elk, Manchester Beach and the Point Arena Light House. In addition, the property sits adjacent to the world renowned Harbor House a Michelin Two-Starred restaurant. For over 160 years, the ranch has stood as a monument to the great legacy of the founders of the community of Elk. But now as the last rays of golden sun cast across the banks of Greenwood, the tides of everlasting change bring forth the opportunity for a new legacy to be forged in time.

Welcome to Talisman Farm. Considered by some to be the perfect place, the farm was created out of an immense respect for nature, wild creatures and the love of the natural world. For over 50 years, this 40+- acre farm has paid homage to all things big and small and has been a safe harbor and refugee to all inhabitants. The land is comprised of four hills, a bench-top valley, towering old-growth redwoods, extensive water reserves and fertile soils. There are extensive improvements on the farm all of which were designed and inspired with intention to flow naturally with the land. These improvements include two well-appointed homes, cabin, barn, shop and aviary. The Primary 2B/2B 2,400+- sqft residence was built to stand the test of time and designed to flow one with the hills and to capture the deep valley views framed by majestic redwoods. The 4B/2B, 2,048+-sqft, two-story Farm House sits at the base of the valley and features all of the modern conveniences and luxuries one could ask for. The 1B/1B, 384+- sqft Cabin offers guests/caretakers a quiet and peaceful place to spend those sleepy Comptche days tucked away in natures green tree basket. In addition, the farm offers an expansive 1,800+- sqft barn and equipment shop, a roughly 1,000+- metal building workshop and professionally designed and engineered aviary built by some of the country's top zoologists. For over five decades, the owners stood as both guardians and stewards of the land and though much now has been lost in time, nothing has been forgotten. Talisman Farm was and is a most special place.
