Set above the flood zone and surrounded by towering redwoods, this enchanting Guerneville property offers privacy, storybook charm, and incredible potential in one of the Russian River's most desirable pockets. With great bones and major systems already dialed in, including dual pain windows and upgrades to heat pump and electrical, the heavy lifting has been done, allowing you to step in and bring your own vision to life. Lovingly held by the same owner for nearly 50 years, the home carries a sense of history and character you feel the moment you arrive. The main residence features two bedrooms plus a flexible loft space tucked among the trees, ideal for guests, a home office, or a quiet escape, with a relaxed cabin feel, interesting lines, and vintage touches that are hard to replicate. Set on an approximately 6000 square foot lot that lives much larger, the property feels peaceful and tucked away, with filtered sunlight and redwoods creating a calm, natural setting. Outdoor spaces are inviting and easy, with a front deck overlooking the neighborhood and a large, freshly painted back deck perfect for entertaining or slow evenings under the trees. A charming detached Casita at the rear of the property adds flexibility for guests, a studio, or a work from home setup, expanding the possibilities even further. Located in Drake Estates with easy access to neighborhood beach paths and the river, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of the Russian River lifestyle. This is more than a home, it's a foundation, solid systems, a timeless setting, and ready for your imagination to take it to the next level. Opportunities like this are few and far between.
