THE SPACE
Looking for a tenant for this oversized, secluded studio cottage on 16 forested acres. This is a solid, functional home for someone who wants to live in the redwoods without the usual "off-grid" headaches.
CLIMATE CONTROL: Brand new Heat Pump with both Heat and Air Conditioning (quiet and efficient).
FUNCTIONAL KITCHEN: Not a "kitchenette" this is a real kitchen with full-sized appliances, plenty of counter space for actual cooking, windows, skylights, and a dedicated cupboard for dry storage.
BATHROOM: Full-sized bathroom with a standard bathtub/shower combo (rare for a studio!). Perfect for those who prefer a soak over a stall shower.
OUTDOOR SPACE: Large wrap-around redwood deck that feels like you're in the middle of the forest. The deck is completely fenced in for a small, well-behaved dog if wanted.
ALL-INCLUSIVE UTILITIES:
Your rent covers everything. No variable monthly bills to worry about:
Electricity & Propane (Heat, Cooking, Hot Water)
High-Speed Internet
Professionally Filtered Natural Spring Water (from the land)
Trash & Recycling
POWER SECURITY: 22KW backup generator runs the entire property, so you never lose power, internet, or heat during local outages.
THE LOCATION & LIFESTYLE:
PARKING: Dedicated space right outside your door.
LAUNDRY: Washer/dryer available in the main house with a little coordination.
WELLNESS: Access to an on-site Yoga Studio and miles of hiking trails within walking distance.
ACCESS: 15 mins to Sebastopol (Whole Foods, restaurants), 15 mins to Doran Beach, and 15 mins to Occidental.
DELIVERIES: Amazon and USPS deliver reliably to the property. (Note: No Uber or DoorDash service).

Owner pays all utilities including internet and propane. The tenant will only make one monthly payment to cover all bills and rent. We require a 12 month lease. First and last months rent along with credit and background check are required to move in.

    "The Zimpher neighborhood in Sebastopol is a great little neighborhood. Mostly single level homes that are nicely spaced and well maintained. This area is super walking friendly and close to the biking/walking trail, stores, parks, schools, restaurants, downtown Sebastopol, the movie theater and more. Great Great Great location which is one of the reasons clients of mine have purchased homes in this neighborhood. "
