8191 Appian Way

• Sun Aug 30, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Tucked down a private road in Sebastopol's Russian River corridor, 8191 Appian Way is the kind of property that reveals itself slowly. An acre of lawns, gardens, mature oaks, and park-like grounds sits beside a protected bird sanctuary, just minutes from Forestville, wineries, restaurants, and the Russian River. At the heart of the property is an extraordinary 2,500-square-foot shop with a mezzanine, four roll-up doors, car lift, and room for eight to ten vehicles. With paved access to every bay and infrastructure that would cost more than $400,000 to recreate today, it offers incredible possibilities for a collector, creative studio, workshop, or home-based business. A private back unit with its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and living space offers Junior ADU potential for rental income, multigenerational living, guests, or a caregiver, subject to applicable approvals. And then there's the caboose..an authentic Southern Pacific Bay Window Caboose permanently set on its own tracks. Preserve its history or imagine it as an artist studio, office, retreat, or one-of-a-kind tiny space. The ranch-style home, solar, well, septic, shop, flexible back unit, and caboose come together to create something increasingly rare: a place where you can live, work, create, gather, and generate income without leaving home. The home itself features updated windows and blinds, a brick fireplace, original bathrooms with upgraded hardware, attic storage in the primary suite, and a kitchen-dining combination that opens to the patio and yard. Solar panels support the electrical system, while a well and septic provide self-sufficient country living. The well flow rate tested at 14+ gallons per minute with water quality confirmed clean by laboratory analysis. The septic system, inspected by a licensed onsite wastewater consultant, is fully functional with a dual leach field system. A little unconventional, incredibly charming, and full of possibility, this is a property for someone with imagination..someone who loves to create, entertain, work with their hands, and make a home truly their own. A place to gather around a table, disappear into a project, curl up somewhere cozy, or simply sit beneath the oaks and listen to the birds. It's the kind of place where time seems to slow down, where you can exhale, feel settled, and feel completely at home.
