Freestone Cheese Shop

380-378 Bohemian Hwy, Freestone, Ca 95472

Here is your opportunity to own the Freestone Cheese Shop, a historic property which includes a beautiful 1887 era craftsman cheese & wine retail Shop/Bedroom/Office/Kitchen & Bath, as well as a residential Studio Apartment and Art Studio/2-car Garage all on a private .289-acre parcel.  This would make for a perfect live/work combination, or an income opportunity combining retail sales and residential income together.  The craftsman cheese shop building was a historic home from the 1800’s.  It was extensively renovated in 2012 with all the necessary permits & care in restoring its historic nature & charm. The shop has a commercial Kitchen, office/bedroom, walk-in closet, shower and bathroom.  Included is a Type 20 beer and wine ABC License!

The shop currently features an array of goods, many sourced locally, including cheese, charcuterie, wine, olive oil, vinegar, jams, nuts, crackers, kitchenware, art & more. Upon entering the shop you will enjoy beautiful hardwood floors, tall ceilings, an ADA bathroom, energy efficient ductless mini-splits for heating and air conditioning and attractive décor, furnishings, as well as cheese and other products all tastefully displayed throughout. The back section closed to the public offers a private office, storage & large commercial kitchen space.

The separate residential studio apartment has 625+/- sq ft of living space with a full kitchen, stone counters, beautiful hardwood floors, gas fireplace, skylights, vaulted ceilings, well-appointed full bath with laundry, and ample storage. There is an expansive wood deck off the front entry to enjoy the sun and surrounding nature setting.

The art studio/2+car garage has barn doors in the front with French doors on the side, an interior stairwell to the apartment above, lots of light and high ceilings. Lighting has been added to feature art on the walls. In the past this space served as a second artist area to enhance the experience of enjoying the retail aspect of the shop, and its Freestone vibe. You could expand the living space of the apartment above to include the 700+/- square feet that encompasses the art studio/garage, and even add another full bath! Doing that would create a main home of about 1,300+/- square feet while retaining the retail shop with its 1,200+/- Square feet of finished live/work space.

This is a fabulous location in Freestone has the poplar Wild Flour Bread Bakery within walking distance, Osmosis Day Spa across the street, world class wineries, restaurants, the ocean in Bodega, as well as everything Sebastopol and Occidental have to offer all conveniently nearby.

This is a rare opportunity to love life, live well and enjoy work all in one package.  It’s rare to find an opportunity like this.  Come visit soon!
