Perched on a hillside above the flood stage of the Russian River, with peek-a-boo views in the distance up the Dutchbill Creek watershed towards Occidental to the south, and the Bohemian Grove hill to the east, this dual-home property is the perfect investment opportunity in wine country, with two detached one-bedroom homes and built-in rental income potential. Originally used as summer cottages, they provide flexible living arrangements for owners and tenants year-round. With extensive tree and gardening work already completed, and potential for a large central grassy play area, they sit on a generous quarter-acre lot with a rare half-day of warm sunshine in the middle of the redwood forest of Monte Rio, historically known as Vacation Wonderland. Both small homes have fully permitted perimeter foundations and decks (~2015), as well as real oak hardwood floors and double-paned, antique bronze Milgard windows. The upper smaller home has a fully permitted bathroom addition (~ 2015) that includes a huge, glass walk-in shower and skylight - design details that give you an undeniably happy boost. Updates to both homes have centered on maintaining the rustic, simplistic lifestyle of life in the redwoods, while adding comfort and convenience with upgrades including a gas range, oven hoods, a sleek, slim stainless steel fridge, a private parking space ample enough to fit two small cars providing everyday ease and subtle landscape plantings providing beauty and privacy. The magic of the morning birdsong as the sun rises over Bohemian hill, the changing species of butterflies and birds as the seasons progress, peaking in summer with the Giant Swallowtail butterflies and Osprey dominating the sky, and the quiet evenings with the sun setting in reverse up the Bohemian hillside all make for a very special place indeed. This a turnkey starter home with rental income potential, a house-hacking opportunity, or an ideal Russian River vacation home and guest retreat. Live in one, lease the other, or keep both as your getaway near the beach, redwoods, canoe launches, and river towns of Guerneville and Duncans Mills. A rare kind of flexibility, set against the redwoods and the river.
