A couple of animal lovers with a huge cast of four-footed companions decides to move from the frozen tundra of Montana to the welcoming sunny skies of the central California coast. They love everything outdoors from skiing the highest peaks to surfing the biggest waves and the near-perfect combination of the two makes the mountains of Cayucos, CA, the perfect place. They're relying on their realtor and her special understanding of purchasing horse and ranch properties to help them in their quest for a mountain ranch home with an ocean view.

A couple wants to escape the rat race in crowded Seattle and get back to their roots in northern California's Humboldt County. One wants a home with an office so she can continue her career, and the other wants a huge kitchen for entertaining. They both also want a home in the mountains so their kids can grow up surrounded by nature.
