Alpine Ranch Farmhouse ~ Wine Country

Cozy Wine Country Farmhouse: Hot Tub, Deck, Fireplace & Views

This is a tranquil retreat in a magnificent setting, surrounded by fruit trees, oaks, and a private garden with views of horses in the pastures below. Relax in the hot tub while looking at majestic oaks and the night sky. You will love the way natural light floods the house, and the feeling of being out in nature even when you are inside.

The early 1900s farmhouse is the original house on a large horse ranch and vineyard in Sonoma County. It sits at the intersection of two idyllic country roads and offers a secluded retreat that is both rural, with horse pastures and surrounding vineyards, and within minutes to some of the best wineries and activities in Sonoma and Napa.  

The 1300 square foot house is on two levels, with three bedrooms, a full bath and a half bath. It has a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and a living room with a gas insert fireplace.

The one-acre private yard has a lawn, deck with bistro lights, propane grill and lots of outdoor seating options. Relax in the hot tub while looking at horse pastures, a grove of California oaks, and the night sky. The heirloom home orchard features Luther Burbank's best known varietals (including Santa Rosa Plum), and Sonoma's own Gravenstein apples (red and green variety).

The garden attracts many birds, including hummingbirds, and in the evenings, there is a frog symphony from the nearby seasonal pond.

Perfect for couples, friends, and families. The house is convenient if you are attending a wedding in the area. We are in Sonoma County, but just a few miles from the Napa County line. There are numerous fine wineries around us. And you are 5 minutes away from a great grocery store.

*Secluded and comfortable*
The 3 bedrooms feature comfortable mattresses and room darkening blinds. The quiet nights, the occasional neighing of horses and the absence of neighbors help ensure a deep sleep. Winter and spring, there is a frog symphony from the pond below the house.
Spring and summer, there are lots of birds (including hummingbirds) in the garden. The house has air conditioning, fiber optic internet and a Roku TV connected to cable and Netflix.

*Guest Access* You have access to the whole house, with the exception of a locked utility closet, and to the enclosed, secluded garden. There is plenty of parking outside.

Your special event can be held in one of the cedar barns and in the large open courtyard at the center of the equestrian complex. Please see pictures above and contact us for more details.

*Summer Offerings*
During the summer months, the adjacent stables offer 10 weeks of horseback riding camps. These popular camps are for kids aged 7-12 and do not require any riding experience. You can bring your kids to the barn where they will spend the day riding and learning about horsemanship. And while they ride, make bran mash cookies for the horses and pick wild blackberries, you can tour wine country. For more information about the camps, please contact us.

Please note:  The house is located on a ranch with an active riding stable and vineyards. We welcome you to the farm house but ask that you do not visit the stables or vineyard without permission or prior arrangement.
We respectfully ask that you follow agreements including appropriate noise levels and the maximum capacity of guests.
