Russian River Living isn't just about finding the cute little cottage that overlooks the river and enjoying the beautiful redwoods year round, it's about becoming a part of the community! The community feeling comes from walking into your favorite restaurant, bar, or shop and having them call you by name and welcome you back year after year! It's about hoping in your car and racing out to the river when there is a community event that is happening, such as the Ironman 70.3 Vineman Triathlon that is this Sunday, July 12th. It is about relishing the feeling of the cool river water cleansing your soul on a hot summer day and letting the massive redwoods infuse your spirit with peace. It is about waking up and lying in bed for awhile just to hear the birds chattering and the stillness that the forest brings. Russian River Living is about finding a home that best suits your desires. If you are the type of person that likes the rustic cabin with the large deck and a yard then we have that for you here on the river, and if you are the type of person that likes the elegant chic home with a pool or a view of the ocean then guess what?... we have that too! Over the last few months I have made it a point to send out an email that had the adorable little cabins that were full of river charm, but today the listings I choose are the ones that are a little more modern and are too alluring to avoid seeing for yourself!

This home has a special kind of class...it is almost as if a giant came along and grabbed a handful of trees and ripped them out of the ground and plopped this envious home down in their place! The home is in an ideal location surrounded with trees but with a sunny open space in the back and a view of the ocean in the front!
The best of both worlds since you can hear the ocean surf and yet you don't have the crazy wind because the trees act as a breaker and you can garden too because the trees part allowing lots of beautiful sunshine. Actually this home can speak for itself because around here this home is known as Clark's Cove and is a successful vacation rental! This home features not one but two large decks with a front seat view of the crashing waves and endless horizon!
The main house has three bedrooms and two baths and there is a cute little 800 sqft studio on the lower level that has one half bath. The main house has two other rooms that have been used as sleeping areas but could be art studios, offices, or maybe even a home gym. The home has both a fireplace and a wood burning stove that offer defense against the coastal chill in the wintertime! This property includes a separate 56,192 sqft lot adjacent to the property as well!
