Private Country Home with Pool in Napa/San Francisco Bay Area
Year Purchased: 1962
Why the Owner Chose American Canyon
This vacation rental was not purchased as a vacation rental, it's a ranch. My family bought the ranch in 1962. Cattle graze on the acres, horses are raised and a sophisticated country life is enjoyed. Our location is one of the best in our area. Twenty minutes to an hours drive to destinations travelers hope to see when visiting the Northern California Napa Valley and San Francisco Bay Area.
