Nestled along the Russian River at 9199 to 9201 Rio Vista Road in Forestville, this is more than a property. It is an opportunity to own the lifestyle people dream about. Set on a peaceful hillside directly across from Steelhead Beach, this rare offering features two separate 1940s bungalows full of character and possibility. The main home includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the second unit offers a cozy studio ideal for guests, extended family, or additional rental income. Begin your mornings with coffee by the river and end your evenings with sunset walks on the sand. Spend weekends fishing for steelhead and salmon, canoeing through calm waters, swimming from pristine beaches, or simply enjoying the serenity of one of Sonoma County’s most treasured settings. The location is truly unmatched. Korbel Winery is just five minutes away, with the celebrated tasting rooms of Sonoma and Napa Valleys within easy reach. Guerneville, Healdsburg, Jenner by the Sea, and the Sonoma Coast offer exceptional dining, boutique shopping, and endless recreation, all just a short drive from your doorstep. Whether you are searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a high-demand investment property, this offering checks every box. Located in one of the few communities where Airbnb permits are still allowed, it presents an increasingly rare opportunity to generate income while owning a home in one of Northern California’s most desirable destinations. With a little vision, these charming river bungalows can be restored to their full potential, creating the ultimate Wine Country retreat where every day feels like a vacation. Properties with this location, flexibility, and upside rarely come to market. Make it yours before someone else does. Needs a little TLC.
Green Valley, located between Graton and Forestville, is a rural and residential Sebastopol neighborhood with rolling vineyards and redwood-lined backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Green Valley Road near the Graton Road junction, where farm stands, tasting rooms, and cyclists set the daily tempo. Low-slung ranch homes and country cottages sit behind hedgerows, with long driveways and open skies shaping the streetscape. Iron Horse Vineyards anchors the local wine identity, while nearby Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary adds a quiet, cedar-scented ritual stop. Ragle Ranch Regional Park and the Joe Rodota Trail frame outdoor routines with oak shade and creekside air. Evenings tend to orbit around small-lot agriculture, porch lights, and the soft hum of West County roads.
