Penngrove Modern Farmhouse on 11-Acre Working Ranch

Summary:

Golden hills unfold beyond the deck as you settle into this modern farmhouse on an 11-acre working ranch. A striking black-and-white palette and open floor plan give way to panoramic valley views — sheep grazing below, sunset painting the ridgeline. Penngrove puts you 10 minutes from Petaluma, 25 minutes from Sonoma Plaza, and within easy reach of every wine region in the county. Bring the dogs and let the quiet of ranch country settle in.



The Space:

Spend mornings on the porch as the ranch wakes up, afternoons exploring Petaluma's downtown or driving north to Sonoma Plaza's tasting rooms, and evenings on the deck as sunset paints the ridgelines gold.



A sofa, upholstered armchairs, and a glass coffee table beneath abstract art draw you into the open living room. The full kitchen continues the clean line — shaker cabinetry to the ceiling, a French door fridge anchoring the stainless lineup, quartz counters, and a peninsula with bar seating that keeps the conversation flowing toward the dining table beyond. Every line of the home frames the working ranch out back where sheep graze across the golden hills.



OUTDOOR LIVING

The elevated wood deck is the standout. Woven lounge chairs and a bistro table face sweeping views of golden hills, distant mountains, and the working ranch below. A brick paver patio near the entrance offers additional space for morning coffee.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Three bedrooms for up to six guests. The primary suite has a king bed with a spacious layout. A second bedroom holds a queen with bathroom access, and a third offers a queen with ceiling fan and desk.

The Neighborhood:

Penngrove is a quiet ranch community at the foot of Sonoma Mountain — small-town charm with big wine country access. For groceries, Penngrove Market (1.6 mi) has the essentials, and Oliver's Market in Cotati (1.8 mi) is a full-service option. Morning coffee and pastries await at The Grove (1.6 mi), a speakeasy-inspired spot on Main Street that also serves elevated dinner fare like lobster mac and cheese and duck poutine. Redwood Cafe in Cotati (1.7 mi) is a local favorite for American comfort food, Sal's Pizzeria (1.7 mi) handles pizza cravings, and Shige (1.7 mi) offers Japanese cuisine. Wine lovers can visit KARAH Estate Vineyard just 0.4 miles away, or explore the Petaluma Gap AVA a short drive south. Penngrove Park (1.7 mi) is a great spot for walking the dogs.



Getting Around:

Penngrove is about 55 minutes from San Francisco via US-101 North — a quick drive into the rolling hills of southern Sonoma County. Parking for up to 5 vehicles is included at the property. A car makes Sonoma County easy to explore — you're central to Petaluma, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa.



Other Things to Note:

This home sits on an 11-acre active ranch where sheep graze — cows and horses are often visible on the surrounding hills. It's part of what makes this place special, but please do not feed or pet any livestock. Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. The home has central A/C, so summer heat is well managed. The primary renter must be 21 or older. No smoking anywhere on the premises.
