After looking at hundreds of properties in Sonoma County and deciding that very few of them were the modern, stylish place that we wanted to stay in, we decided to buy our own property and design it that way. We incorporated natural materials, plants, beautiful furniture, and lots of light everywhere in our home.
The resulting property is a beautiful, private, modern 3-bedroom retreat with everything you could want for a luxury vacation in wine country, or a perfect place for a long term stay. You first approach the house via a long driveway that ensures privacy and ends in parking for 5 cars. The front of the house is beautifully landscaped and lit up at night.
The house has Nest security cameras, smoke detectors, and a thermostat. It also has a Ring doorbell as well as an August lock and keypad to make getting in and out of the house a breeze. We have gigabit cable internet and enterprise-class wifi that covers nearly all the usable space indoors and out. We have installed a UV water filter, as well as have a reverse-osmosis water tap in the kitchen sink to remove minerals that some people find off-putting in well water. We have a solar array and battery backup. The house has MERV-13 hospital grade HVAC filters, and HEPA filter units in the main living area and all bedrooms.
The living room has comfortable seating for 8 and is equipped with a giant 70-inch 4k Samsung TV, Sonos surround sound, Xfinity cable, and an AppleTV 4k. There is also a gas fireplace that is perfect for chilly nights. A wall of sliding glass doors open to the wraparound patio behind the house, providing stunning views of the Blucher Creek valley and its hills, farms, forests, ponds, and vineyards. The kitchen has been expertly equipped and has everything you should need to make a gourmet meal using any of the amazing produce you can find in nearby markets. There is a formal dining room with seating for 6-8.
Upstairs are the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. All bedrooms have incredibly comfortable mattresses, sheets, and pillows, an alarm clock, a floor fan for both air circulation and white noise, luggage racks, and USB-enabled outlets. The first floor also has a den with a comfortable, pull out queen couch, and a desk for working, and French doors that close this space off as a flexible 4th bedroom.
A walk down the stairs leads to the stunning saltwater pool, hot tub, and pool house. The pool has a retractable safety cover. The first half of the pool is a 11-inch deep Baja shelf that is perfect for wading and lounging. Steps lead down to the deeper end, where there are also relaxing benches built into the side walls. Six lounge chairs and several umbrellas are perfect for relaxing. The year-round hot tub is physically separate from the pool and seats 8. It's available during the winter, as well, for those nights you want to relax and gaze up at the stars. The pool house is a converted shipping container and is nearly half windows. It has an outdoor shower attached to one side as well as and a custom-fabricated steel arbor to provide shade. There's also a large patio with a grill, and an additional dining area.
Please note that the toilet in the pool house is waiting for new parts that have been severely delayed due to supply chain issues and is currently not available for use. Additionally the pool house interior is being renovated due to a few leaks that happened from the 30” of rain we received this winter. It is also unavailable. We have weekly gardening and pool service that comes to keep everything clean, pristine, and working for you, so please keep in mind you may see some workers there on Thursday or Friday mornings.
Our entire property has been expertly landscaped with local flora. We have various fruit trees on the property, including lemons, limes, apples, and Asian pears, as well as a grape arbor with Concord and flame red grapes. Please feel free to use items from gardens!
We love our West Sonoma Home, and look forward to welcoming you as our guests.
