DESCRIPTION
This is a lovely hideaway only an hour north of San Francisco. Situated 15 minutes away from Santa Rosa, it is in a quiet, private, rural setting. Three acres of California's rolling hills with natural grasses, old oaks, lush gardens, and your own vineyard give you the privacy to enjoy Sonoma County living at its best. The house is casual and warm, with sets of French doors opening from almost every room onto flagstone patios, decks, lawn, and gardens. A private solar heated pool with an in-ground spa big enough for eight is just outside the master bedroom. A waterfall at the edge of the pool has rocks you can sit on for sun and is also a good place to jump into the water. The Great room houses the living room with fireplace, dining area, and gourmet kitchen. Just outside the kitchen door is a large ground-level deck with charcoal grill, an herb garden and dining table and chairs. The three bedrooms in the house have very high ceilings and are brightly furnished with an eclectic French farmhouse feel. Each is distinct. One, with a queen bed, has a double set of French doors opening onto a deck. The second is small and cozy with a skylight and a double bed. A bathroom with toilet, sink and shower is located between these bedrooms and the Great room. The fourth bedroom is a special, more rustic hideaway up a stairway between rows of vines, then up some stone steps and paths even higher to "The Quinta". Here, a large flat area on the hillside above the valley has been civilized with a romantic white fabric tent-cabin and an expansive patio.a charming, partially outdoor, bathhouse with an open air, raised tub and a sunny camping shower. A colorful Mexican sink is sheltered from any rain by the tin roof, which also shelters the toilet. It's a modern composting toilet offering both privacy and a view. An old tub set higher for the view and a simple shower are in the open roofless part of the bathhouse.
