Property Description

Hidden among majestic redwoods on one of Monte Rio's most desirable private streets, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, convenience, and versatility. Exceptionally easy to reach, the home is located on a quiet private street with a straightforward, comfortable drive in the appealing Russian River area. Ample street parking makes everyday living and entertaining guests equally convenient. The home offers separate upper and lower living areas, each with its own private entrance. Set on a nearly 10,000-square foot lot with no homes directly in front or behind, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy. The renowned Bohemian Grove property is directly behind the home, creating a peaceful forest backdrop and an unusually secluded setting while still being close to town. Towering redwoods provide beautiful, filtered light and natural shade, creating a noticeably cooler and more comfortable environment during warm summer days. The living room, primary bedroom, and downstairs studio face the forest, bringing the surrounding greenery and serenity into the home. Two easily accessible decks adjoining the living area and another adjoining the bedroom extend the living space outdoors and provide wonderful places for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining friends, and family, or simply relaxing among the redwoods. Inside, a beautiful wood-burning hearth creates an inviting centerpiece, filling the home with warmth and atmosphere on cool winter evenings. Charming barn doors add character, while generous attic space provides substantial additional storage. Just a short walk from the home is a secluded. Close to the Russian River with amazing activities like kayaking, swimming, and days spent exploring the river. The property also includes a separate detached garage with room for parking and storage, along with a dedicated laundry and utility building offering additional storage and practical workspace. Whether envisioned as a permanent residence, a weekend escape, or an investment property, this is a truly distinctive Russian River retreat a place where towering redwoods, river adventures, privacy, versatility, and everyday convenience come together in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from it all while remaining remarkably easy to reach.
