Description

Privacy, potential and a full-sized Southern Pacific Bay Window Caboose! Welcome to 8191 Appian Way, where one acre of Sonoma County's Russian River corridor delivers the rare combination of space, seclusion and character that Forestville is known for. Set well back from the road with mature landscaping, grassy lawns and curated garden areas positioned toward the rear of the property for maximum privacy, this 4-bedroom ranch offers a quiet, noise-free setting adjacent to a mature wooded area. Yet,...Privacy, potential and a full-sized Southern Pacific Bay Window Caboose! Welcome to 8191 Appian Way, where one acre of Sonoma County's Russian River corridor delivers the rare combination of space, seclusion and character that Forestville is known for. Set well back from the road with mature landscaping, grassy lawns and curated garden areas positioned toward the rear of the property for maximum privacy, this 4-bedroom ranch offers a quiet, noise-free setting adjacent to a mature wooded area. Yet, it sits just minutes from Forestville's Front Street and the wineries, restaurants and river access that define Wine Country living. The centerpiece for enthusiasts is a nearly 2,500-square-foot detached shop with a mezzanine, four roll-up doors, and an operational car lift currently housing eight to ten vehicles - purpose-built for car collectors, hobbyists, woodworkers, or anyone needing serious workspace with room to grow. Above all, this property is defined by its one-of-a-kind Southern Pacific caboose: an authentic, full-size rail car secured on permanent tracks with railroad stops, in near-perfect original condition. The possibilities are exceptional: convert it into a distinctive home office, art studio, reading retreat, wine cellar, guest suite, or the most memorable home theater on the Russian River. The ranch-style 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, a private well, and septic infrastructure support self-sufficient country living, while the detached layout of the shop, caboose, and home across the acre creates distinct zones for living, working, and recreation. 'The Great Life' surrounds you: award winning restaurants, vineyards, beaches and hiking trails offering year-round outdoor recreation. Appian Way has genuine soul, serious infrastructure and room to imagine something extraordinary.
