Santa Rosa, CA 95404
Tucked beneath the trees on a sprawling lot, this fairytale cottage offers a rare sense of privacy in a forested valley in eastern Sonoma County. It feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life, yet Santa Rosa, Calistoga, and Highway 101 are all just 15 minutes away. A true country property, but with the convenience of town nearby. The inviting two-bedroom, one-bath cottage is warm, comfortable, and surrounded by nature. Multiple decks and outdoor spaces create plenty of opportunities to relax, dine, entertain, or simply take in the peaceful wooded setting. A newer water heater and water treatment system add everyday comfort and convenience. Two additional structures open up a range of possibilities. Create a home office, art studio, private gym, or quiet retreat in one, while using the other for storage, a workshop, or whatever your next project calls for. With parking for four or more cars, there is plenty of room for guests. Owned solar panels with a bidirectional PG&E meter provide credits for surplus energy returned to the grid, helping reduce electricity costs. More than anything, this is a place to slow down. A magical private retreat beneath the trees, surrounded by nature, where the pace feels easier and the outside world seems far away. Welcome home.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property is over 60 years old and maintains a dated, rustic aesthetic. While the home is well-maintained with functional upgrades like owned solar panels and a newer water heater, the kitchen is unconventional with industrial-style freestanding units rather than a modern renovation. The age and eclectic interior suggest a need for updates to meet current market standards for a 'Good' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 28802, living area = 1152.
Situated on a sprawling 28,802 sqft lot in a forested valley, this property offers exceptional privacy and a serene 'fairytale cottage' atmosphere while remaining just 15 minutes from urban amenities.
The inclusion of two additional outbuildings provides flexible space for a home office, art studio, or workshop, significantly expanding the property's functional utility beyond the main residence.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1152, other record living area = 1087.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms and potential guests, the layout may present logistical challenges for families or those who frequently entertain.
Originally built in 1962, the home may require ongoing maintenance or further modernization of older systems to meet contemporary standards, despite recent updates to the water heater and treatment system.
