About This Home

As of July 2020

This rare and magical creekside location is home to a remastered cottage and guest house. With wrap-around decks, flagstone patios, pond, orchard, and gardens, this gated wine country retreat is tucked at the end of a private drive. Extensively remodeled this property has improvements in design and infrastructure. The main dwelling is a two-bedroom cottage overlooking Sonoma Creek. Open beam ceilings, wide plank oak floors and designer finishes create an elegant ambiance. A master suite designed for two has double vanities in the spa-like bathroom and access to a private deck. Across the front courtyard is a one-bedroom guest house, also remodeled. This unique property is a rare gem in the heart of wine country with an unparalleled setting and in pristine condition.
