Russian Riverfront Cottage with Rare Potential! Nestled along Moscow Road in Monte Rio, this private riverfront cottage offers a rare opportunity to create your own Russian River retreat. The property features a spacious front yard and a large back yard that leads to direct river access, complete with a dock in need of revival, perfect for kayaking, canoeing, or simply enjoying the water. Overgrown but lush landscaping surrounds the home and, with some care, the existing viewing deck could once again showcase stunning river views. With the possibility of qualifying for a coveted short-term vacation rental permit, this property is both a desirable getaway and an attractive investment. While the property does require some major repairs and minor updates, its charm and location provide endless potential for the right buyer. A truly unique chance to restore a classic river cottage in one of Sonoma County's most beloved vacation destinations. Purchasing together with the neighboring property at 22298 Moscow Road (MLS #325084852) creates a rare chance to own two homes on nearly one-third acre with approx. 113 feet of river frontage - perfect for a family compound, retreat or versatile investment.
