Bay area matches all this

ocean: Pacific
forests: coastal redwoods just south of the city and a bit further up in muir woods
countryside: North Bay with open hiking areas and wine country
mountains: Santa cruz range and diablo range
big city: San Francisco, Oakland, San jose

It's just that the place is very desirable with not a lot of developable land because it fits all those things so rent/housing is going to be outrageous.

The north bay is not countryside. All you need to do is head less than an hour east into the central valley. Merced/Methdesdo/Fresno/Sacramento could be anywhere between Kansas and Texas.

If you REALLY want to push it, you could try saying the coast between half moon bay and Santa Cruz. Thats pretty rough and country. But definitely not North Bay Area. That's about as gentrified as you can get around these parts. Tiburon is so rich I'm pretty sure you get in trouble for talking about it on the internet.
