Riverfront Healdsburg Home, Private Dock

Step onto your private dock and watch the Russian River slide past while oak-covered hillsides frame the view. This modern two-bedroom retreat is split across two levels — each with its own entrance, patio, and designer bathroom — creating an intimate riverfront escape with a bocce ball court, firepit, and sit-on-top kayaks at the ready. Downtown Healdsburg and its Michelin-starred dining scene are just 2.4 miles away. River days and wine country nights start here.

This 1,000-square-foot riverfront retreat sits directly on the Russian River, configured as two stacked units connected by exterior stairs. Renovated with mid-century modern style, warm wood floors, and white walls, both levels feel bright and inviting. The upper unit greets you with vaulted ceilings and a striking suspended black fireplace. A gray sofa, leather lounge chair, and wall-mounted TV face glass doors framing forested river views. The kitchen pairs white cabinets with gray quartz countertops, a wood accent wall behind the gas range, stainless appliances, and an island with bar seating. The lower unit adds its own kitchenette. OUTDOOR LIVING Covered decks with wood slat privacy screens extend toward the river on both levels. Adirondack chairs and a firepit anchor the yard, a bocce court invites competition, and the private dock provides direct river access with a sit-on-top kayak for guest use. A gas grill makes riverside barbecues easy. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The upper unit has a king bed with upholstered headboard, ceiling fan, and built-in desk. The lower unit offers a queen with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Sleeps four.

Step into modern architecture wrapped in wood-slat screens and covered outdoor living, mid-century inside, with a black hex-tile bathroom that anchors the look. The whole home is yours, with a BBQ, outdoor dining, an enclosed yard, and mountain and river views. Your check-in details land before your stay; pull into the driveway, with on-street as overflow.

You're on the Russian River just minutes from downtown Healdsburg — one of Sonoma County's most celebrated food and wine destinations. The Healdsburg Plaza anchors the town with walkable tasting rooms, boutiques, and galleries. For dining, Valette (2.3 mi) offers refined, Sonoma-sourced cuisine. Bravas Bar de Tapas (2.4 mi) serves Spanish small plates on a lively patio. Journeyman Meat Co. (2.4 mi) is the spot for outstanding charcuterie and sandwiches. SingleThread (2.4 mi) is a three-Michelin-starred destination for a special-occasion meal. For wine, Stuhlmuller Vineyards (1.9 mi) and Sapphire Hill Winery (2.1 mi) offer intimate tastings nearby. Del Rio Woods Regional Park (0.1 mi) is steps from the property for a quick walk, and Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach (2.1 mi) provides river swimming in summer. Shelton's Natural Foods Market (2.3 mi) is the nearest full-service grocery.

Healdsburg is about 75 minutes from San Francisco via US-101 North — a straight, scenic drive into the heart of Sonoma wine country. Parking for up to 3 vehicles in the driveway and on the street. A car is the easiest way to take in the three valleys that meet here — Dry Creek, Alexander, and Russian River. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.

This property is configured as two separate units — one bedroom, bathroom, and full kitchen upstairs, and one bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and laundry downstairs. They have separate exterior entrances connected by outside stairs. The home sits directly on the Russian River with a private dock and sit-on-top kayaks — please use water equipment responsibly and at your own risk. During high-water events the lower unit can experience water intrusion — this is uncommon but worth noting during winter storm season. The primary renter must be 21 or older. Exterior security cameras are installed.
