About This Home

As of July 2025

One of the most beautiful hilltops in the area, with views of Mount Tamalpais, Sonoma Mountain, Mount Saint Helena, and practically kissing Mount Jackson. Woods with spots of vineyards below. About 4 acres of land surrounding the house was cleared and prepared for vineyard use, creating potential for a timeless, estate-like environment. The small greenhouse floor was plumbed for radiant heating and cooling, potentially allowing growing on an extended or year-round basis. The 15kw 72 panel solar installation has a 400 amp connection, which was designed to allow doubling capacity with a second row or upgraded panels if desired. Convenient Forestville Water District water, with hand dug accessory well. The main house has vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, and a lot going for it. But it needs significant work requiring professional contracting. Many reports and quotes are available. The second house is a patch together house based on a mobile home with no permit history, and considered a tear down. As per the photographer, photos cannot capture the beauty of these majestic views. Come take a look and it will certainly be more beautiful than you expect. Disclosures link:
