Glen Ellen, California
Sonoma Valley is known around the world for its spectacular views. The Country House showcases views unlike any property in Sonoma Valley. Seated atop Sonoma Mountain, this three bedroom, three bath home is the ultimate escape.
Upon entry to the home you are greeted by the Great Room which has a massive fireplace, grand piano, vaulted ceilings and luxurious decor. There are wall to wall sliding glass doors that open onto to a deck that is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine on summer evenings, have a relaxing breakfast in wine country and plenty of space for lounging on a chaise with a good book. Here we find breathtaking views of sprawling vineyards and the mountains. The home has numerous outdoor dining spaces.
Above the Great Room you will find a lofted library and office. There is a television room with leather couch, chairs and rich fabrics to cozy up and watch your favorite show.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with all the essentials for preparing any meal, including ample prep space, a professional range and side by side refrigerator and freezer. At its end is a table area with spectacular views. A lovely contemplative spot where you may enjoy your morning coffee any time of year.
There is a lovely formal dining room which seats 10. There are two sets of French doors that open up onto a patio overlooking a small canyon.
The massive master suite has a regal fireplace and a king size bed. The master bath features a jacuzzi tub, a spacious double shower with bench seating and restroom with bidet. The bathtub looks over the sweeping views of the valley below, making a soak in this tub an absolute luxury. The second bedroom features a queen sized bed and French doors that open to one of the quiet outdoor patio spaces. **The third bedroom is detached and offers a queen sized bed, full bath, kitchenette and treadmill.**
From the back deck you descend down a set of stairs and you will find another sitting area with a fire pit and lounging chairs. A few steps further leads you to the hot tub on a small deck, perched out on the tip of the hill so as to best capture the phenomenal view while relaxing in the spa. Wrap around the other side of the hill and you will find the absolutely gorgeous pool area. The large square shaped pool has a small waterfall that cascades down from the dining area, seated below a pergola that provides beautifully filtered light. Here the patio has large couches and chairs, a dining table and a built in outdoor kitchen.
This home is one of a kind and will not disappoint. If you are looking for an escape in the wine country, look no further, The Country House has it all.
Please be aware that this home is seated at the top of the mountain and the one lane road winds around and can be quite steep in places. It is very rural and is not a location that limos or wine buses would want to go. It is very much a country home, and if staying high above Sonoma in the absolute peace and quiet of nature suits you, this is the home for you.
Dogs are welcome with pre-approval only and required to pay a $75/pet fee. (Max pets allowed = 2)
If you are looking for a great location and serenity, this property hits the mark! The views are spectacular and the home is very peaceful. The terraced property invites you in to times of reflection and relaxation. There is an extensive library for those of you who enjoy a good book. The home and pool could use some updating/maintenance. Air conditioning doesn’t adequately cool down the home in higher temperatures.
Great house, great views, does feel that some of it hasnt been maintained for a number of years, as the main couch in the living room was shedding feathers all over the place and much of the other furniture was somewhat shoddy
We stayed here for five nights over the Labor Day weekend. Our goal was to have wine tasting in Napa for two full days and a partial day in between. The house location is amazing! The views are incredible and it's pretty great to wake up and have a huge view of the valley floor. The house amenities are quite good. It could use a little updating in different areas, but overall, we had everything we needed. The grounds are extensive and nicely maintained. Lots of green and lots of space that you felt like the home just continued forever. The only concern was that the road is very steep and very long. It's not long in terms of miles, but it take awhile to go up the hill. Don't let that keep you from booking because the views are so great!
Outstanding views of Sonoma Valley, breathtaking sunsets and relaxation by the peaceful secluded pool. We loved it! Lots of steps on the property which leads you to beautiful spots but not for those that are not fully mobile. Kitchen well equipped with everything functioning well. We would definitely go back!
Stayed for 10 days. 3 adults and 2 dogs. House is beautiful, well maintained, and very comfortable. The deck and the view are simply amazing. Great internet connection - was able to work remotely no problem. Drive up was a little challenging but not too terrible. My wife who is very prone to motion sickness handled it just fine.
Wow. At a time when we are all still either staying home or close to, this was the best remote vacation ever. A good 10 minutes UP from the main road, the road is not for the weary. And don't forget the milk as you won't want to go back to the store. But the steep mountain road makes for great exercise in the morning. The home is really something. The views make you feel on top of the world. The outdoor spaces provides sun, shade or protection from the wind. You can just move around all day depending on the weather. The pool, although cold is so wonderful and the trellised jasmine on the terrace welcomes you with gorgeous aroma. The hot tub is also perched on the hillside with beautiful views and so relaxing. The home is very welcoming and kitchen well appointed. It is the perfect place for cooking, dining and having quality time with family and friends. Mornings were spent hiking at near by areas, poolside in the afternoon and either cooking or going out to the fantastic local restaurants. The management makes it very easy, good communications and they have great recommendations if needed. The pool furniture and some of the indoor furniture could use a little love and replacement. But if you are looking for a place to write your memoir and enjoy truly being away from it all, The Country Home is the place!!
A beautiful home with astounding views. We felt like we were above the birds! Great spot for our teenagers too. We were close and together, but they had spaces of their own. We'll be back, we hope!
Not exaggerating, this property has hands down the best view of any rental I've stayed at. Perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine and a few friends, great fully equipped kitchen, total privacy. It feels like you're a world away; even though Santa Rosa is just over the hill, all you see is the ridges all the way to the ocean. One caveat, this place is for relaxing, and there isn't any large open space or hiking, just the lovely lawns and gardens around the house, so if you're bringing a dog, be aware that the road in is the only option for a walk, and it's very hilly! We definitely look forward to coming back here sometime.
We will be back!!!
This place is incredible! The view and amenities were top notch! Worth every dollar spent! Only problem was not having enough time to enjoy every aspect of it!
