Looking for a newer home along the Russian River with privacy, river access, and easy access to the Sonoma Coast?

I toured 22585 Sylvan Way in Monte Rio today on Broker’s Tour. This home sits in the Laurel Dell area, just west of Monte Rio, and offers a very different feel from the older cabin-style properties you often see along the river.

Listed at $1,400,000, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 1,965 square feet, and about 0.21 acres. It was built in 2006 and includes vaulted ceilings, central heat, an updated kitchen, a detached two-car garage, a bonus room, a large back deck, a hot tub, and a gated driveway.

What really stands out here is the setting. The property is tucked away near the end of the road with forest, river, and water views, and there is access down toward the Russian River. You’re also positioned between Monte Rio and Duncans Mills, with the Sonoma Coast not far beyond.

This part of the Russian River has a cooler, more coastal feel than Guerneville or Rio Nido, but you’re still close enough to enjoy everything the river communities have to offer.

If you’re looking for Monte Rio real estate, a Russian River home, a West Sonoma County property, or a place near the river and coast, this one is worth a look.

Looking for a country home in Forestville or West Sonoma County?

I just toured 6840 Giovanetti Road in Forestville, and this is a beautiful example of the kind of property people come to this area looking for: privacy, sunshine, rolling hills, oak trees, open space, and a true wine country feel.

The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, approximately 2,430 square feet, and 1.61 acres, and it is currently listed at $1,695,000.

Inside, it has a modern farmhouse feel with high ceilings, lots of windows, updated finishes, and multiple living spaces. The large windows and sliding doors really bring the outdoors into the house, and several decks take advantage of the views across the surrounding hills and countryside.

There’s also a beautiful courtyard area for entertaining, detached garage space, solar, and plenty of room to enjoy the property. The MLS also notes a backup generator and Forestville water.

What I really like about Giovanetti Road is the setting. You’re close to Forestville and Highway 116, but the area feels completely different from being in town. You get rolling West Sonoma County hills, vineyards, oak trees, sunshine, and a little more breathing room.

If you’re looking for a Forestville country property, Russian River real estate, acreage in West Sonoma County, or a wine country home, this is definitely an area worth knowing about.

6840 Giovanetti Road is listed by Cory Maguire of Corcoran Icon Properties.

Want to see how the Russian River connects from Forestville all the way to the Pacific Ocean?

I just took a drive along the river and stopped at some of the best-known beaches, bridges, river access points, and viewpoints between Forestville and Jenner.

We start near Forestville at Mom’s Beach and the Hacienda Bridge, then follow the Russian River west through Rio Nido and Guerneville, past Johnson’s Beach, Neely Road, Guernewood and Vacation Beach.

From there, the river winds through Northwood and Monte Rio, past Villa Grande and Duncans Mills, before finally reaching Jenner, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean.

Along the way, I point out:

Mom’s Beach in Forestville
Hacienda Bridge
Rio Nido river access
Guerneville Bridge
Johnson’s Beach
Vacation Beach
Monte Rio Bridge and beach
Villa Grande Beach
Duncans Mills Bridge
The Highway 1 and Highway 116 junction
The Russian River estuary at Jenner

One of the things I wanted to show in this video is how all of these Russian River communities fit together. You’ll see which direction the river is flowing, what’s upriver and downriver, and how the landscape changes as you travel west toward the Sonoma Coast.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home anywhere along the Russian River—from Forestville, Guerneville and Monte Rio to Duncans Mills and Jenner—I’m happy to answer your questions.
