Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Cazadero, California

Welcome to 1500 Old Cazadero Road, a serene retreat nestled in the environs of Cazadero, California, juxtaposed between the Sonoma Coast at Jenner and Guerneville along the Russian River in Western Sonoma County. Just two hours north of the Golden Gate Bridge, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own two expansive 38.6 acre +- parcels, providing a perfect blend of sanctuary and natural beauty. The same family has owned this land for the better part of 90+ years. The great-grandparents built the home in 1933 to serve as a gathering place, playground and retreat for generations of their extended families and friends. As an old-timer once told me, the best land doesn't change hands often, because it nurtures the souls of those who experience it. The main home, known locally as "The Castle,'' features a spacious bunk-room with upstairs sleeping loft as well as 2 additional bedrooms and bathrooms on the main and second level. It was designed to accommodate groups of friends and family while embracing the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The home is set in a valley backdrop, offering a secluded haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The year-round East Austin Creek frontage enhances the property's allure, providing a soothing soundtrack of flowing water and a picturesque setting for relaxation and recreation. In addition it serves as habitat for spawning salmon, trout and other species enjoying the little disturbed landscape. This much-loved property invites you to explore its lush grounds, where mature trees and verdant native foliage create a peaceful ambiance that is both inviting and rejuvenating. Inside, the home boasts a thoughtful layout that maximizes space and functionality. A dramatic great room with two story high ceilings was partially restored in 2012 and provides a dramatic entrance. The living areas are bathed in natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen cabinets and counters were updated in recent years, providing for meal preparation that is both efficient and enjoyable. Each bedroom offers a comfortable retreat, with serene views of the surrounding landscape. The property's location within 3 miles of downtown Cazadero is ideal for those seeking a harmonious balance between seclusion and accessibility. While offering a sense of remoteness, it is conveniently situated within reach of the Sonoma Coast and the Russian River.
