11491 Occidental Rd, Sebastopol, CA 95472

Built by the original owners in the 1950s, lovingly held by the same family ever since, and now offered for sale for the very first time, this special West County property is a rare opportunity to breathe new life into a place with deep roots. Set on a generous .58+/- acre parcel, the charming single-level home offers two bedrooms and one bath with approximately 1,056 square feet of living space. Original narrow-plank hardwood floors bring warmth and vintage character, while a substantial stone fireplace anchors the living room. Windows throughout bring in abundant natural light and frame the surrounding greenery, keeping the coveted West County setting always in view. The generously sized kitchen offers plenty of room to reimagine and create something truly special, while an expansive enclosed rear porch extends the home's usable space with wonderful flexibility for an art studio, home office, play space or simply room to spread out. An oversized attached two-car garage and separate storage shed provide ample space for storage, projects and all the extras that come with country living. Outside, mature trees, citrus and open ground invite the possibilities--plant the big garden you've always wanted, create beautiful outdoor living and entertaining spaces, bring home a few of those beloved animals you've dreamed about, or simply enjoy having room around you. Explore the potential for a future ADU or guest unit and being zoned Diverse Agriculture (DA) opens the door to an additional range of possible uses. Best of all is the location-tucked between Sebastopol and Occidental in the heart of West Sonoma County. Summer evenings might mean music at Sebastopol's beloved Peacetown concert series or Thursday nights at the Occidental Community Farmers' Market, where local food, live music and neighbors gathering are a true reflection of West County spirit. Enjoy acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants and an abundance of Russian River Valley or Sonoma Coast wineries just minutes from home. The Russian River and spectacular Sonoma Coast are approximately 20 minutes away, the Sonoma County Airport about 25 minutes, and San Francisco is just over an hour away. After more than seven decades in one family, this is a chance to make a little piece of West County history your own.
