Most properties along the Russian River and Austin Creek are either heavily wooded with limited usability or exposed with little privacy. This property strikes the balance perfectly.

The level one-acre parcel provides real functionality — space for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The grounds already feature fruit trees and mature landscaping, creating a peaceful, park-like setting.

At the same time, you still get that classic Cazadero redwood environment, giving the property a true sense of retreat.

Remodeled, Turnkey Interior

This is not a project property. The home has been remodeled with permits, offering confidence and peace of mind for buyers.

Inside, the home features:

  • Open floor plan connecting kitchen and living areas
  • High ceilings creating a spacious feel
  • Updated kitchen with modern appliances and finishes
  • Remodeled bathrooms
  • Dual fireplace feature
  • Recessed lighting throughout
  • Dedicated office space

A wall of windows and multiple sliding doors opens to the deck, bringing in natural light and connecting the indoor living space directly to the outdoors.

Indoor-Outdoor Living with Wraparound Deck

One of the standout features is the expansive wraparound deck, which extends the living space into the surrounding landscape.

This is where the property really shines:

  • Morning coffee overlooking the trees
  • Outdoor dining and entertaining
  • Views of the open yard and surrounding redwoods
  • Easy access down to the creek

The layout creates a seamless transition between the home and the land — something buyers specifically look for in Russian River properties.

Elevated Design + Practical Features

Creekfront homes come with important considerations, and this property addresses them the right way.

  • The home is elevated above the flood level, which can positively impact usability and insurance
  • Includes an interior fire sprinkler system
  • Set back from Austin Creek Road for added privacy

These are the types of details that matter — especially for buyers coming from urban areas who want both lifestyle and practicality.

Direct Access to Austin Creek

Austin Creek is one of the hidden gems of Sonoma County — a clear, spring-fed creek known for its natural beauty and quieter setting compared to the main Russian River.

From the backyard, you can walk directly down to the creek and enjoy:

  • Swimming in the warmer months
  • Relaxing by the water
  • A peaceful natural environment year-round

This is what defines true creekfront living in Cazadero.

Cazadero Lifestyle: Nature, Privacy, and Access

Cazadero offers a completely different pace compared to city living. It’s known for:

  • Quiet, low-density environment
  • Redwoods and natural surroundings
  • Proximity to the Russian River
  • Easy drives to the Sonoma Coast and Pacific Ocean
  • Access to hiking, camping, and outdoor recreation

At the same time, you’re still within reach of Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Sonoma County Wine Country, making it an ideal location for a full-time residence or second home.

Who This Property Is Perfect For

This home fits a very specific and desirable buyer profile:

  • Buyers looking for a second home or weekend retreat
  • Anyone wanting usable land with creek access
  • Buyers who don’t want a remodel project
  • Those seeking privacy without isolation
  • Nature-focused buyers who value outdoor living

Inventory like this — especially with 1 acre of usable land + creekfront — is limited.
