is one of three small towns located on the ten-mile long Bohemian Highway in West Sonoma County, California. Freestone and Monte Rio are the other two communities on this scenic roadway. West Sonoma County offers tranquil settings centrally located to the Russian River, the Pacific Ocean, the Sonoma County Wine Country and historical cities such as Sebastopol. Occidental is also only 68 miles north of the metropolitan center of San Francisco. The West Sonoma County/Bohemian Highway landscape is made up of rolling hills and vineyards, peaceful pastures, apple orchards and forests of redwood, oak, bay and fir. In addition to award-winning wineries, you will also find many organic farms in the Occidental region. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking and biking along the coastal hills, along with rafting and other water sports along the Russian River. Whether for a permanent residence or a second home, West Sonoma County is one of the most beautiful places to live in the state.
