Sebastopol, California
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.
This property is exactly as described in the listing and it’s perfect. The house is decorated and laid out extremely well and after an initial trip into town (only about a 10min drive) we had no need to leave. The kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances you will need and there was even a little snack basket to get us through making our grocery list. The views are gorgeous. The pool is beautiful. The rooms are all very comfortable whether you’re cooking, lounging or sleeping. We are already planning to come back again next year. Can’t recommend enough!
The property was very nice. The views were gorgeous. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool and grounds were impeccable. The country set was great.
One of the best properties we’ve stayed at from the cleanliness, attention to detail, good amount of supplies and amenities. The beautiful landscape in the backyard and views are unmatched. The pool was excellent (pay for it to get heated, it’s worth it!). They had floaties and pool noodles available which was a nice surprise. The area lost power for a few hours and we didn’t even notice since the backup generator kicked in! Also, good location!
My Family and i rented this lovely home for a family wedding. The house it’s self is great, big and spacious. Everything you need is provided by the homeowners. The back yard is beautiful! Unfortunately we were unable to use the pool. The jacuzzi was nice. The pool house would be great if you were able to use the bathroom instead of trekking back up to the house. But overall beautiful home and property!
What a fabulous property and location! I cannot say enough about how enjoyable this home is. It is so well equipped and comfortable. The setting is lovely and the landscaping is so well done. While we were too early in the season to use the pool – we were able to use the hot tub a few times – so nice. There were basically 2-4 of us in the house – except for one weekend we had six folks. Accommodated everyone very well. I cannot leave a review without calling out Laureen and Jonathan. They take great pride in this property (and should do) and were super responsive in answering any questions that we had. Laureen is a joy and helped make our stay even more enjoyable! We will be back -
Loved this property and the location is great for access to Sebastopol, wineries and Bodega Bay!
Beautiful property. Lovely garden with stunning views. Laureen, the property manager, was very kind and looked after us very well!
Just a few months after our stay in 2021, we re-booked for 2022. Our teen girls were very excited to see Laureen's homemade granola upon arrival again (it is really that good) and she even texted with local farm U-Pick options and tips to secure slots, which book up super quickly. The house and grounds are just so relaxing, complete with super cute wildlife. Thanks for another lovely stay, Jonathan!
We had a great time in Sebastopol over Memorial Day weekend. The owner and property manager were very communicative, helpful and kind. The house was spotless and comfortable and the yard is amazing! Close to home but feels a million miles away. Great spot!
We stayed at this home with college friends and cannot say enough positive things. Incredible outdoor areas and used the hot tub all weekend while dining outside in mid-November. Would recommend to anyone and plan on coming back!
