Sonoma Neighborhoods - It's Country Living on Norrbom Road
Norrbom Road is named for a pioneering Sonoma family. Norrbom Road takes you from the Sonoma Valley floor and Sonoma Plaza up into the rugged Mayacamas Range east of town. The road, which is about 3 miles long, was hand dug by members of the hard-working Norrbom family. The Norrboms, of good Swedish descent, put down roots in Sonoma Valley around 1850 and homesteaded some 360 acres in the hills above the town of Sonoma. Norrbom Road is still just one lane wide...with turnouts for passing vehicles. The family still owns some of the land but over the years portions were sold off and homes were built by other property owners, including one I've recently listed: 16720 Norrbom Road.
It's not easy to find homes for sale in the hills above Sonoma. They don't turn over that often. So if you want more infomation on my great Sonoma listing at 16720 Norrbom Road shoot me an email, text, or call. I'd love to show you around, By the way, 35 years ago Bobby Norrbom used to work on my grandpa's car at his garage in Glen Ellen. Bobby's still fixing vehicles...and from what I hear...he's still doing a great job! Sonoma neighborhoods all have interesting stories and now you know a little bit about Norrbom Road.

That's a great bit of history and an even better looking house!
Thanks Rich. There's so much history wherever we live...seems we need to get older before we appreciate it. Hope you have a great weekend.
Insurance scam rears its ugly head!
As if the economic and real estate situation isn't difficult enough! . These homeowners insurance companies lure customers away from Citizens Insurance, evaluate the home and provide homeowners insurance. Several weeks after they take the customer's money they notify the homeowner that they have cancelled the policy because the home is a risk. Several weeks later they again offer insurance trough their subsidiary company but double or triple the premium. Then during hurricane season they again notify the customer they have cancelled the policy because the home is at risk. The following companies are involved and if you have been scammed report them:
Tower Hill Insurance Company
