About This Home

As of October 2023

This historic Bennett Valley ranch was originally settled in the late 1800's, making it one of the original ranches in the area. It offers over 52-acres with DA20 zoning with the potential to be subdivided to 2 parcels &/or build another main home, subject to conditions & approval by Sonoma County PRMD. It currently offers a 3/1 single-level craftsmen, as well as a 2nd 2/1 single-level ADU. It also has an old-world cattle barn with an exceptionally large hay loft perfect for barn parties. There are several outbuildings on the property including a tractor barn, old dairy building & multiple storage buildings. A tributary of Matanzas Creek runs through it with 2 of the storage buildings spanning over the creek & water running under them. Touring through this property is a walk thru time. Everywhere you go is old school artisanship & charm. With a little work this could be the most charming authentic historic ranch in Bennett Valley, something that is rare & highly sought after.
