5845 Austin Creek Road, Cazadero, CA 95421

Set on a rare sunny, south-facing parcel, this classic two-bedroom, one-bath home stands out as one of the strongest offerings in the Cazadero market at this price point, with location and thoughtful design as its defining strengths. The sunny exposure brings warmth and natural light throughout the day, creating an ideal setting for outdoor living, seasonal gardening, and quiet enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Tucked back from the road on a small private drive, the home sits within a friendly neighborhood well suited for walking, biking, or a quick trip into town for essentials, with the general store, hardware store, post office, and local parks all nearby. Access to Austin Creek is just minutes away, along with hidden swimming holes and forest hikes. Since acquiring the property in 2016, the current owners have completed a series of meaningful upgrades, including new windows, updated roofing, fresh interior and exterior paint, and partial flooring improvements, enhancing both comfort and long-term livability. Inside, the floor plan makes excellent use of the available square footage. At the center of the home is an expansive 360-square-foot living room anchored by bay windows and a wood-burning stove framed in local river rock. The kitchen offers generous space and opens comfortably into the dining area, creating an easy setting for gatherings and everyday meals alike, while both bedrooms provide enough room for desks, dressers, or additional seating without feeling constrained. Additional features include front and rear decks, primarily single-level living with only two interior steps, basement laundry with two separate storage areas, parking for up to three vehicles, EV charging, and a wood shed. Practical winter-ready improvements include a separate wood-burning oven and range, as well as a recently installed transfer panel for connection to the included generator. 🔥🌲
