16471 Watson Road in Guerneville, listed at $988,000.

Back in the day, a million dollars was the ultimate amount of money to many people (even Dr. Evil).  It is still quite a hefty sum, and today we are checking out what a million dollars can buy you in Sonoma County.  Our neighbor, Napa, was just named fourth on Realtor.com’s list of areas with the highest percentage of million dollar homes.  The price range starts at $950,000 and goes up to $1,000,000, but we adjusted the price a bit to be able to include Windsor.  Our goal was to find the most appealing (or interesting) home in our budget without HOA’s or additional fees.  Here’s what a million dollars will buy you in Guerneville, Windsor, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, Sonoma and Petaluma right now.

Petaluma

Petaluma had three homes in our price range and 333 Purrington Road is by far the most interesting with its Austin Powers groovy decor.  This six bedroom, four bath home is 3,110 square-feet on a property that is a little over three acres and is listed at $999,000.  Located near well-rated Grant Elementary School, it has a custom-shaped pool, views and lots of personality.  This property has a Mediterranean feel with its archways and tile and is primarily a single level with a master suite upstairs.  If someone had a large budget and a flair for renovation, this could be just the ticket.
