Thinking about buying a home in Guerneville?

Today I toured a new listing at 14361 Old Cazadero Road, and I have a feeling this one is going to attract a lot of attention.

Priced at $507,000, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 936 square feet of beautifully updated living space just minutes from downtown Guerneville and the Russian River.

What stood out to me wasn’t just the location—it was the quality of the improvements. The home features recessed lighting, skylights, pocket doors, a high-end gas fireplace, custom tile work, quartz countertops, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and move-in ready.

Outside is where this property really shines. Multiple decks create several outdoor living areas where you can entertain friends, enjoy your morning coffee, relax in the hot tub, or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The bamboo landscaping provides excellent privacy and gives the property a true retreat-like feel.

Another big plus is the parking. The home includes a two-car garage plus additional off-street parking for a total of five vehicles, something that’s surprisingly hard to find in many Guerneville neighborhoods.

Properties that are fully remodeled, close to town, on public sewer, and priced around the $500,000 mark continue to be some of the most sought-after homes in the Russian River market. Based on what I’m seeing, I would not be surprised if this property receives significant interest from buyers.

Would you rather have a move-in-ready home like this close to downtown Guerneville, or would you prefer a larger property farther out in the redwoods?

Call me if you’d like to schedule a showing or discuss the current Russian River real estate market.

Thinking about buying or selling a home in the Russian River? Call me at 707-217-1786. This is David R. Millar with The Millar Group, and here is your Russian River real estate market update for June 15, 2026.

The Russian River market continues to show an interesting shift. We currently have about 140 properties on the market from Forestville to Jenner, which gives buyers more choices than we’ve seen in recent years.

Buyers are still looking at homes, but many second-home buyers appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach. Unlike primary home buyers, who often need to make a move, second-home buyers can be more sensitive to economic uncertainty and world events.

The good news is that the homes that are priced correctly and offer the right combination of location, condition, and amenities are still selling.

This weekend gave us a very clear picture of the current sweet spot in the Russian River market. Three homes went into escrow, all between $558,000 and $625,000. They were primarily two and three-bedroom homes around 1,200 square feet, and homes with two bathrooms continue to be especially desirable.

We also saw a price reduction at 17850 Santa Rosa Avenue in Guerneville, a fixer property that was reduced from $285,000 to $279,000.

One interesting sale was 15289 Willow Road in Guerneville. It was a two-bedroom, one-bath home of about 1,040 square feet that closed at $403,000 after 56 days on the market. Even though it was in excellent condition and priced aggressively, it still took time to find the right buyer.

At the higher end of the market, a riverfront home on Guernewood Road that was listed at $1,549,000 was withdrawn from the market. This reinforces what we’re seeing: luxury-priced properties need exceptional locations, presentation, and pricing to attract today’s buyers.

Overall, I would describe the Russian River market as healthy but not overheated. Buyers have more options, and sellers need to be strategic with pricing and presentation.

If you have questions about the Russian River real estate market, flood zones, septic systems, fire insurance, or what your property may be worth, give me a call. We live and work here and specialize in the unique challenges of buying and selling homes in Guerneville, Monte Rio, Forestville, Cazadero, and throughout the Russian River area.

Treehouse Views, Storybook Charm, Redwood Magic. In one of Guerneville's most coveted hilltop neighborhoods, 17385 Summit Avenue welcomes you. Behind the gates, a private garden, bubbling fountain, and covered porch swing set the tone for slower mornings and long summer evenings beneath the trees. Step inside to walls of original windows that pull the redwoods into every room, creating the feeling of floating among the branches. Sunlight filters through the canopy, shifting throughout the day as towering trees become the backdrop to daily life. In the kitchen, a vintage stove and open kitchen create the perfect setting for conversation while dinner simmers and the forest glows beyond the glass. The charming details continue throughout the home. A clawfoot tub feels pulled from another era - a place to soak, unwind, and listen to the sounds of the forest after a day at the river. The main level features one bedroom, a full bath, and the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom have easy access to the expansive rear deck. Slip into the hot tub beneath the stars, host dinner parties among the trees, or simply sit back and enjoy the peace that only a setting like this can provide. At 17385 Summit Avenue, weekends turn into traditions, dinner parties stretch late into the night, and every window reminds you why you came to the Russian River in the first place.
