Welcome to your own private Russian River Valley retreat — a sun-drenched resort-style property set on approximately one acre overlooking a breathtaking vineyard spanning hundreds of acres and extending toward distant mountain ridgelines.
Tucked into the warm and scenic Armstrong Valley just minutes from Guerneville, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare combination of privacy, open space, and relaxed wine-country living.
The grounds feel like a private resort. Mature trees frame expansive lawns, multiple lounge areas invite long afternoons outdoors, and a classic bocce court sets the stage for friendly competition under the California sun. Guests can gather around the solar-heated saline pool surrounded by elegant blue stone, enjoy outdoor dining on the deck, or unwind in a hammock with views across the neighboring vineyard.
A separate recreation barn adds another dimension to the experience — a fun gathering space featuring games and entertainment perfect for families and friends.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with an open, light-filled floor plan designed for easy entertaining and comfortable living. The spacious chef’s kitchen features marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and generous workspace, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas. Hardwood floors run throughout, while large sliding glass doors open directly to the outdoor deck, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.
The inviting living room offers a relaxed setting with a flat-screen TV, comfortable seating, and views toward the surrounding gardens.
The property is ideally located just a short distance from the dramatic redwood groves of Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, where miles of shaded trails wind through towering old-growth forests. Guests are also minutes from West Side Road wineries, Northwood Golf course, Beaches and the vibrant river town of Guerneville, known for its charming shops, restaurants, wine bars, and easy access to the Russian River for kayaking, swimming, and summer river fun.
Whether you’re enjoying wine-country sunsets from the deck, cooling off in the pool, exploring the nearby redwoods, or relaxing beneath the stars, this Russian River Valley retreat offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and classic Sonoma County charm.
