Welcome to Shangri-La Sonoma, a one-of-a-kind private retreat nestled among 5.6 acres of majestic redwoods, sunny meadows, and enchanting woodland paths in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country.
At the center of the property sits a beautifully remodeled 4,700-square-foot lodge designed for gathering, celebrating, and reconnecting. Whether you're planning a family reunion, wine country getaway, wellness retreat, or special occasion with friends, Shangri-La offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and adventure.
Spend your days lounging beside the sparkling heated pool, unwinding in the sauna, exploring the redwood fairy circle, or sharing meals on the expansive covered decks overlooking the forest. Inside, you'll find spacious living areas, a gourmet kitchen, a game room, multiple gathering spaces, and comfortable accommodations for up to 15 guests.
The property includes:
• 6 Bedrooms & 4 Bathrooms - 7th optional bedroom included. • Sleeps up to 15 guests in beds • Heated swimming pool • Sauna & pool house • Gourmet kitchen & dining area • Game room • Two charming artist cottages • Towering redwood groves and open lawns • Ample parking and room to roam
Located just minutes from world-class wineries, the Russian River, charming downtown Sebastopol, and less than 30 minutes from the rugged Sonoma Coast and Bodega Bay, Shangri-La is perfectly positioned for exploring everything Sonoma County has to offer.
For larger groups, ask about our legendary Ghost Town hidden at the back of the property—a whimsical Gold Rush-era village complete with saloons, a bordello, jail, pond, and event spaces like our sound-proofed Barn. It's unlike anything else in Sonoma County and has become a favorite backdrop for celebrations, retreats, photoshoots, and unforgettable gatherings.
Whether you're sipping Pinot Noir beneath the redwoods, enjoying a morning swim surrounded by nature, or gathering around the table with your favorite people, Shangri-La Sonoma is the kind of place where memories are made.

Wow, what a fun property! Fantastic for parties large and small. It was just my wife and me on this trip, but we could have easily hosted a family reunion with room to spare. Very peaceful setting with lots of unique spaces to spread out and relax. Think redwoods, gardens, and swimming, with eclectic and vintage decor throughout the property that makes it fun and interesting. This is truly a one of kind home. And that's before mentioning the "Ghost Town" at the back of the property that is sure to be a lasting memory for anyone who stays here. The location is also great....close to Occidental and Sebastopol, and striking distance to the Coast, the Russian River, and the heart of Sonoma's wine country. And that all comes with a wonderful host.

Why they chose this property
As an avid cyclist living in San Francisco I first discovered the charms and rolling hills of Sebastopol/Occidental on two-wheels, Later returning on 4 to visit the land where the pinot noir meets the redwoods, warm by day and cool by night and minutes from the Pacific. What's not to love?
What makes this property unique
Shangri-La has the feel of national park somewhere between the Coastal Redwoods and the Gold-Rush foothills of Tahoe. The creativity of the original owner permeates the buildings and the carefully sculpted landscapes, bringing a deep sense of calm and connectedness to all who enter.
