Cazadero Big Oaks Ranch
Private 107± acre Sonoma County retreat with vineyard, orchard, spring-fed pond, guest cottage
Marketing description
There are properties you buy, and then there are properties that become part of who you are. This extraordinary 107-acre estate tucked into the wild, breathtaking ridgelines of Cazadero, Sonoma County is firmly in the second category. Straddling the divide between the Russian River and Gualala River watersheds, surrounded by ancient redwoods, and alive with wildlife that ranges from bald eagles and falcons to mountain lions and bobcats, this is a place of rare, almost otherworldly beauty — and it comes with the infrastructure, self-sufficiency, and thoughtful improvements to support a life lived entirely on your own terms.
Built in 1993, the main home is a warm, characterful retreat that blends rustic Sonoma soul with genuine comfort. Wood floors and hardwood laminate carry you through the living spaces, while cathedral ceilings open the interior to a sense of grandeur that feels perfectly matched to the surrounding landscape. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, and a wood-fire boiler powers the heated floors — making even the coldest Cazadero mornings something to look forward to rather than endure.
The kitchen is a comfortable cook's space, centered around a six-burner propane stove and finished with tile countertops, oak cabinets, and a garden window that frames the property's natural beauty while you work. A walk-in pantry adds the practical storage that rural living demands, and the bay window brings the outdoors in at every turn.
The main floor offers one bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full tiled bathroom, while a generous loft — accessible and versatile — serves as a second sleeping space, studio, or flex room, complete with its own half bath finished in granite. A dedicated laundry room and mini-split climate systems throughout round out the comfort features. At 1.5 bathrooms and a loft configuration, this is a home that lives larger than its footprint suggests.
