Perched above burbling Pool Creek, you will find this stunning 20+ acre end-of-the-road sanctuary. Sited within the Chalk Hill AVA, this is the perfect location for the aspiring or expanding viticulturalist. The historic homesite offers a restful but dramatic oak woodland vista that opens to the Russian River Valley where Pool Creek finds its way to Laguna Santa Rosa before merging with Windsor Creek. Peaceful isolation, yet only 12-18 minutes from the three major commercial hubs of Healdsburg, Windsor, and Larkfield-Wikiup. With base zoning of Resources and Rural Development (RRD), within the 91,000+ acre Franz Valley Area Plan, this parcel and those around it were created to preserve the rural character of the region, and promote various agricultural production options, while offering protection of watershed, fish and wildlife habitat, and other biotic resources, with small-scale to commercial viticulture being a main beneficiary. The site comes with a productive, working well (10+/-GPM) and an installed two bedroom septic system, plus electricity is available at the lot line adjacent to the presumed building site. Both entry gates and the creek crossing have been upgraded/replaced in recent years, and a new 2600+/- gallon water tank has been installed.
