Alexander Valley Real Estate
Cabernet country with ranch-scale privacy
East of Healdsburg, Alexander Valley follows the Russian River through wider terrain with warmer temperatures and bigger parcels. Known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines, this is where Sonoma County opens up — rolling hills, ranch land, and a quieter pace. Properties here tend toward larger acreage with more breathing room between neighbors.
What the property looks like
Ranch properties on 10–100+ acres, vineyard estates with Cabernet plantings, and river-adjacent parcels. Fewer in-town options — this is a rural, land-oriented market.
Typical range
$800K – $12M+
