Recreational Land for Sale in Monte Rio, California

A Sanctuary of Timeless Grandeur

The 165-acre Boddum Redwood Preserve is a rare jewel in the heart of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. Rising majestically above the valley floor, where the Russian River carves its serpentine path toward the Pacific Ocean, this extraordinary estate offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of nature's masterpiece. Here, colossal redwoods and towering Douglas firs stand as sentinels of resilience, their roots entwined with the story of a land reborn.

A Symphony of Nature

Last logged in the 1950s, the Preserve has flourished in its solitude, regenerating an awe-inspiring forest with an estimated 3 million board feet of redwood and 1.5 million board feet of Douglas fir. These thriving stands, among the finest in one of the world's premier redwood-growing regions, create a cathedral-like canopy that hums with life. Native wildlife--deer, foxes, and raptors--roams freely, while seasonal creeks and multiple springs breathe vitality into the landscape. The air is rich with the scent of evergreen and earth, a reminder of nature's enduring power when left undisturbed.

Elevated Perspectives

A network of interior roads and trails weaves through the property, with the main road ascending from the valley's edge to a breathtaking 1,000-foot elevation. Along this journey, discover multiple homesites perched to capture sweeping vistas of the Russian River Valley and the distant glow of Pacific sunsets. These prime locations offer the perfect canvas for crafting a luxurious year-round residence or an exclusive vacation retreat, blending sophistication with the untamed beauty of the surroundings.

Endless Possibilities

With three legal parcels with direct access to a county road, the Preserve is a canvas for visionaries. Develop a sustainable legacy by managing the timber with care, banking valuable carbon credits, or establishing a conservation easement to protect this ecological treasure for generations.
