Beautiful Estate on 6 Acres in the Heart of Wine Country

Property description

Nestled in the Heart of Rincon Valley, this beautiful and exclusive property is available on a limited basis for family retreats and related gatherings. During the spring and summer, we have some weeks (and weekends) available with nothing else scheduled. At such times, if it works for your dates, you can enjoy the beauty, serenity and safety of this garden paradise all to yourself.
What does that mean? You can book our property (in whole, or in part) as a place to rest, relax, share, cook (if you wish) and laugh together. You could have full access to our property, including dining and living areas, decks, gardens, our barn, professional sound system, book and music resources (if you wish), along with all the time in the world to kick back and bath in the peace and beauty we have spent twenty years nourishing.
What’s so unique about this property? One of our guest groups stayed here last year and sent us a card afterwards. They wrote: “There’s something about this place—a sense of love and peace—we’ve never felt anywhere else!”
This is why we make this quiet retreat center available to friends and guests as part of our fundraising for third world orphanages. If you book a weekend here, you will have the entire place to yourself (or you can also stay at just one--or more-- of our guest wings if there’s less than six of you.) With advance notice, we can also make available some of our free resources. These include counseling, seminars and workshops.
Most of these require thirty days advance notice. They include yoga/dance, stress relief workshops and seminars that are just for you and your group. These are all about learning to relax, unwind and experience personal, inner healing. (Please also see our website: www.whentheheartmelts.org for more details).
The owners will (if requested and available) also share insights from their books and teachings about healing from past wounds.
Some folks love these added resources. Others just want a safe place to kick back, relax and gather with friends and family. Sure, you could also book a typical “vacation rental” property, but if you stay at our retreat center, you’ll know you are also contributing to the care and support of orphaned children all over the world (check out one of our biggest recipients of support at www.irisglobal.org).
What sorts of groups stay at Hill Country Farm? We have booked extended family getaways, occasional small weddings, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries, corporate retreats, art, yoga and dance workshops, church groups and rehearsals. All of them have loved the space, beauty and peacefulness of a place dedicated to healing. We want you to rest, relax and restore, knowing you are also helping children in need. It’s a great feeling!

This extensive and exclusive estate is also within a 20 minute drive of the most premier wine country in the world. Santa Rosa has always been known as a gateway to the Sonoma, Calistoga, Napa, Healdsburg, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek Valley wine appellations.

You will also discover acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, designed and maintained by a Master Gardener, surrounding you with quiet peace and relaxation here on these private grounds. Wherever your eyes wander, you'll enjoy relaxing on the veranda style wraparound deck where you'll be able to look out over the beautiful view of the foothills.

This property includes almost 9,000 square feet of accommodations in three separate buildings, one of which is a 2,400 square foot private multi purpose facility. Although we call it 'the Barn' we finished construction just four years ago, and the facility now includes a professional sound system (suitable for live recording) and will seat more than 100 people inside. It's been used very successfully for wedding receptions, concerts, spiritual workshops, yoga workshops, corporate retreats, training seminars, dance, live music performances and recording sessions, etc. etc.

Note* This estate property is run as a (501)(c)(3) non profit retreat center, and has been in operation since 1994. Our rental rates are suggested donations, based upon our costs. We offer discounts to churches and non-profit ministries. We can issue you a tax deductible receipt for a portion of your stay upon request. Our primary purpose for this property is to create and provide a beautiful, safe, quiet retreat location for you to relax with your extended family and friends and find rest and renewal. We also offer seminars, counseling sessions, guided prayer and meditation gatherings at no cost and only upon request. (Email us for a list of themes and topics).

Note* We have very limited availability during the winter months. Email us for details.
