This wine country rarity offers an ultra modern home on two sun-drenched acres surrounded by Alexander Valley grapevines. With solar power and abundant water, the property offers the unique opportunity to make your dream homestead or hobby farm a reality. The best part? The zoning, permitting, and new house build are already done. The property has transformed over the past decade, with plenty of remaining expansion opportunities to customize your vision and really make it yours.
From the original 28741 River Road single lot footprint, courtesy of a 2020 Sonoma County lot line adjustment, the property now encompasses two separate lots: 28755 and 28759 River Road. Leaving the original 3 br / 2 ba house and 1000 sq. ft. peak roof garage intact, the new lot lines allowed the addition of over $1.2 million in upgrades:
The new lot designation also grants the right to add two 1200 sq ft Accessory Dwelling Units. The original home offers the opportunity to generate rental income, to use for guest housing, or house agricultural processing.
Just five minutes from downtown Cloverdale and Highway 101, the property is zoned LIA which means you have incredible flexibility as to how you can use the property, whether just for family and friends, a commercial enterprise, or a combination of the two. Reliable high speed internet from Comcast provides the perfect remote work paradise, whether for week-end escapes from the fog, or for a full-time escape from the city.
The new house is stunning. You enter the front door to find light streaming in from four double sliding doors with views to the end of the valley. Open plan living begins with high ceilings and wide plank hardwood floors; a chef’s kitchen with Bosch appliances, custom cabinets, and a large island gives way to the living room anchored by a sleek gas fireplace. Hidden behind a pocket door, the large pantry provides floor to ceiling shelving, laundry, and additional prep space. The primary bedroom opens to its own deck and private yard with hot tub and outdoor shower. The stylish sanctuary includes a walk-in closet and gorgeous primary bath with heated floors and double shower. Two bright additional bedrooms enjoy extraordinary views and deck access. The guest bath boasts a soaking tub and shower, along with the same luxe details as the primary, including programmable heated floors. Relax on the cedar-lined covered porch, dine under the olive trees, tend the roses, and watch wildlife in your private oasis.
The 30-panel solar system with seamless 40kWh backup battery array provides ample power for the 28755 property and the water infrastructure, while the robust well produces abundant water for all the property needs. There are so many upgraded details and extras, you have to walk it to truly appreciate the possibilites.
The 11.4kW system includes 30 LG solar panels and 40 kWh of Enphase backup batteries. The fully paid system supplies more than enough electricity for the new house, the well, and the water system supplying both houses. Monthly PG&E bills are typically less than $12. Report below shows the year-to-date status as of July 23, 2024: 10.2 MWh produced compared to 7.8 MWh consumed. During that same period, the system imported 4.2 MWh while exporting 5.9 MWh. The system uses the least expensive grid energy overnight, while using battery power during the most expensive 5pm-9pm period.
The system receives a signal before the grid goes down, and switches to battery mode. If the sun is shining during the day, the system can operate for days without loss of power despite an extensive regional power outage. Silent and reliable, serviced by top-rated Northern Pacific Power and Enphase.
This property boasts a robust 30 gpm well that supplies more than enough water for the extensive irrigation systems. A separate set of new systems purifies, softens, stores, and disinfects water for supply both houses, with capacity to supply additional ADUs added later. A new booster pump ensures every tap and fixture on the property receives full pressure. All systems installed and mainted by Luciani Pump, and Northcoast Waterworks. A 5,000 gallon storage tank ensures there is always sufficient supply wherever needed on the property.
Ready to start growing your own vegetables? Thinking about starting a commercial flower garden or just ready to create beauty? The fenced garden provides so many opportunities with 8,500 sq. ft. of protected space.
A five-minute drive out the solar powered front gate and you find yourself in downtown Cloverdale, where there is always a free parking spot, an open table for lunch, or a Friday night concert in the town plaza. It's more than just a destination for food, shopping, and errands. It's a community that has been showing out since California's first county fair, when the Cloverdale Citrus Fair debuted in 1892. Its the kind of place where people still line the streets for parades in February to mark the traditional citrus harvest, and again on the Fourth of July. The downtown vibe changes depending on the season, particularly in the Fall when the storefront Halloween decorating contest gives way to a small town holiday season that gives Stars Hollow a run for its money.
During the summer, the town plaza fills every Friday. Those in know, set their lawn chairs out early in the afternoon. The main street closes to traffic, and food trucks start setting up. By 6:30pm, its packed, the beer tent is open, and the music starts. It's a blast, whether you pack the family and a picnic, wander the options for dinner, or dance the night away with plenty of company. All of it benefits the thriving Cloverdale Arts Alliance which serves the community with a permanent gallery, classes for kids and adults, regular jazz club events, and some of the most amazing public art you find in any small town.
