Location: Sweetwater Ranch offers the complete privacy of a gated tranquil retreat in the middle of nowhere but is, in fact, only 15 minutes from downtown Guerneville and slightly further to Healdsburg. There are no neighbors in sight or hearing. This is the perfect location for winetasting as there are dozens of wineries within a short drive.
Home: Sweetwater Ranch is a custom-built country-style home outfitted with fine furnishings and linens, rustic-chic terracotta tile floors and woodstove. Out of every window, there is a breath-taking view. On the lower, entry level, the open plan kitchen/dining room/living room provides a gracious space for cooking, eating and gathering in comfort. The living room is elegant yet comfortable, centering around the wood stove and large screen TV. French doors open onto a large porch/deck with a rocking chair and outdoor dining set and the most amazing view of pond, valley and redwoods. There is a bedroom on this floor with new, high-quality linens dressing its king bed. This bathroom also has a lockable door that opens to the kitchen. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite is tucked under the eaves and beautifully furnished with a king bed, roll top desk, and sink-in-room.
Grounds: Nestled into a sunny hillside on 40 acres overlooking a valley that stretches all the way to the distant Santa Rosa Mountains, Sweetwater Ranch offers a total retreat from the world. The grounds include trails to explore, three picturesque ponds, an old-growth redwood grove, and orchards. Here, there is also a large patio with loungers and a fountain, and a 12-person hot tub in a gazebo just beyond. On the downhill side, attached to the house, there's a large, covered, fenced dog run (with dog house) next to a shaded patio with dining set, both in close proximity to the children's play set nearby. Just down the hill, there is a garden-gone-wild, still offering ripe berries and stone fruit, and a basketball hoop attached to a barn just a little further. |
