At the very end of a private lane, where redwoods close in overhead and the everyday world falls quietly away, 819 Jonive Road opens onto 7.54 usable acres of forest and meadow that feel a world apart yet sit only minutes from downtown Sebastopol and the coast. Mornings begin with deer moving through the meadow and wild turkeys crossing the tree line, the deep kind of quiet that buyers spend years searching for and rarely find this close to town.

Inside, 3,122 square feet unfold with real warmth and character. Open-beam ceilings and rich wood flooring set the tone, while timeless tile accents add a handcrafted touch throughout. The living room gathers around a wood-burning fireplace with the meadow framed just beyond the glass, a home clearly built to be lived in fully. It was custom-designed as the builder's own residence and cared for by the same family for more than 40 years.

What sets this offering apart is how the floorplan flexes to fit a life. Beyond the three bedrooms, two separate private suites open the possibilities. The downstairs suite lives beautifully as a second primary or in-law quarters, with the ease of a private retreat all its own. The upstairs suite above the three-car garage carries real potential as an ADU or third primary. For multigenerational families, it is a rare gift: room to gather together, and the privacy for everyone to feel at home.

Then there is the Sebastopol lifestyle waiting just down the lane. Gravenstein apple orchards, the farm stands and tasting rooms of west county, the shops and cafes of the walkable downtown, and the Sonoma Coast all within easy reach. Land this private, tucked at the end of the road and held with such care for four decades, comes along only once in a great while.
