Monte Rio, California
Stunning Contemporary Home, a River Penthouse on Russian River, like No Other!!
Just fully renovated, "California Dream," a breathtaking Glass House, is 3,200 sq. ft. with a 2,500 sq. ft. deck and catwalk. Like a Blue Jay's nest in the adjacent 200 year old walnut tree's canopy, the house is 25 ft. above ground. It's perched on 2.8 acres of prime "lazy tubing" River Front Property. Dip in and out of the river all day from its grand 500 sq. ft. seasonal dock.
The deck and dock, skybox and courtside seat, let guests watch who and what floats down the sauntering summer river. In the fall, in addition to wine tasting, the house is great for binge watching football inside, and playing football and golf outside.
The property's Redwood Trees, jarring in size and longevity, welcome and embrace the entrance and front of the house. The house's openness and brightness coupled with the property's privacy, size and natural setting create a tranquil environment.
"California Dream" is bordered by: "Northwood Golf Course," "The Bohemian Club," "the Russian River," and between "Monte Rio Beach" and "Johnson's Beach."
Jenner Beach and Goat Rock Beach are 11 miles west, while Korbel Winery, Porter-Bass Winery and Armstrong Woods are 7 miles east.
Otherwise, just peacefully float throughout the house and onto the deck: make a gourmet meal in the gourmet kitchen, or grill and have cocktails on the deck. From the extra large hot tub, relax and watch the river, sunshine, and sky parade by before the stars and moon takeover at night.
"California Dream" is a contemporary River Penthouse retreat in which to rejuvenate, build bonds, and make lasting memories in a handsome natural setting. It's complemented by an architecturally compelling space in which to live. It is an exceptional mid-century house with provenance that has been refreshed with care, modern design and materials.
"California Dream" is 70 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.
To BOOK "California Dream" the owner must speak directly to the prospective guest to address some specific conditions for booking. We are new to renting out our renovated home, as a short term rentals, directly to strangers, so we need to make sure we are doing things appropriately. A mutually beneficial relationship. We don't want to over commit and we want to make sure guest have reasonable expectations. We strive to prove an exceptional vacation rental experience, so "open communication" is paramount.
Ideally, we want repeat guests to reduce wear and tear on our home. We spent a considerable amount of effort with this renovation so we don't want a few bad apples spoiling things for future guests and for my family.
I appreciate your consideration, understanding and support. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the home as much as my family has for the past 10 years. Although, we never got to live in the remodel, outside the pandemic.
The house and location to the river was stunning. We absolutely loved the view, the massive decks, the windows that opened up to the outside and the size of the house was fabulous. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of supplies within the kitchen to cook for a large party. We also loved the dock on the river, the convenience of the location, and all the kayaks and canoes they had available to us. The house had been remodeled, however, the bathrooms had not. All the bathrooms had old, outdated fixtures, holes in the tile potentially posing problems to bare feet, and lots of mold. We also did not feel super safe given one of the very large windows would not lock and one of the doors. I messaged the manager of the property and never got a response. If they corrected these issues, we would certainly return, but for the immense cost of the rental, the bathrooms and guests safety were the only real let down.
Immaculate home on the river. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked - two of everything! Close proximity to hiking and beaches. Easy interface with property manager. A true five star experience!
Stunning views, plenty of room to spread out or be together. Great house for games, cooking, running around, tv viewing, resting. Well equipped.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location, nice house, fantastic property and clean, what more could you ask for?
Beautiful property and the house was amazing. We loved the fact that the windows & doors all opened to the sides and gave you that wonderful outdoor experience. Double everything! Grills, ovens, stove, dishwashers, sofas, tv's, tables & chairs! Super large 12 person hot tub and enough water toys for all. Large level yard for kids and dogs to run around. Great dock with 3 ladders for easy access in & out and the river wasn't to deep but just right. Redwood trees everywhere and a nice quiet neighborhood, with plenty of privacy.
Ideal. Wonderful. Great place.
Beautiful house. So much space. Amazing lawn and access to the river. Owners thought of everything when designing the house. They really make it special for the guests. Looking forward to returning.
Everything about this property was amazing. You cannot best waking up just overlooking the river. The dock made it so easy to just hop in as we wanted and avoid crowds at the beaches. The yard was amazing for lawn games and the dogs. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was great for preparing meals every day. Already plan on booking again next summer.
Magnificent. Like being in an isolated Hollywood hills mansion. All supplies and equipment needed (e.g., two gas grills on deck, lots of kayaks, canoes, etc.) Gorgeous river views and direct access. Easy couple of minutes’ drive from great restaurants, beaches, redwood forest. Lots of rooms for group activities and privacy for reading/working.
A fantastic location right on the river with easy access to the private dock. The house is open and spacious but still allows some privacy for the adults. The house is well taken care of, very clean and easy to figure out where things are and how to use the appliances. We will be coming back in the future.
Beautiful place, close to the river, perfect for large groups.
