Carneros Vista Ranch - Farmhouse Estate on 3 Acres near Sonoma Plaza
Down a long private driveway off of Highway 12 just two miles south of the historic Sonoma Plaza, Carneros Vista Ranch sits on three acres amid the countryside, with lots of privacy and miles of views. Having just completed an extensive renovation, the spacious 5 bedroom farmhouse is ideally suited to hosting vacation getaways in wine country.
The property features multiple outdoor entertaining areas perfect for enjoying the California sunshine or relaxing in the shade. A large outdoor patio features an oversized solar-heated, salt water pool with automatic cover, a BBQ grille and outdoor dining table with seating for ten. A short walk from the house and amid the newly planted vines sits a rustic wine country patio complete with bocce court, adirondack chairs and fire pit. For more fun, take advantage of the property's full sized par 3 golf hole (professionally built by Southwest Greens with Nicklaus synthetic turf), complete with multiple tee boxes and a 4,000 sq ft green. Enjoy a spirited putting or chipping contest with your friends amid the vineyard before returning to the farmhouse for a restful night’s sleep.
The home features central air conditioning/heating with dual zone controls. In addition, there are wide plank white oak hardwood floors throughout. Downstairs features an open floorplan for the kitchen, dining and living rooms to make entertaining easy for large groups. The kitchen features professional grade appliances and a large center island complete with wine fridge. In addition, there is a separate game room downstairs with pool table and bar console with television.
The upstairs of the home features four bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with king-sized bed, a cozy window seat and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also features a king bed while the two other bedrooms each have queen beds. These bedrooms share a hallway bathroom while downstairs there is a third bathroom and a bedroom with a queen bed.
Please note that although our pool is serviced and open year-round, since our pool is solar heated, it is very pleasant to swim in (temperature in the 80s) from May through October. In late March/April and through most of November the pool temperatures are cooler but still generally fine for swimming (70s), while in late November through mid-March the cold air temperatures (low 40s typically) make the pool too cold for most to want to swim.

Beautiful home among the vineyards in Carneros! We could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Napa/Sonoma. Location was super convenient, easy to get to both Sonoma and Napa Valley’s! Next time we will definitely stay here.
We stayed here for 4 nights while making custom hats at Bottlerock in Napa. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and an easy drive. We will be back!
An incredibly memorable trip, what an amazing place to stay, cook meals in the kitchen and spend time enjoying each other's company. We will be back again to watch the balloons rise over the hobby vineyard at sunrise!
We had a wonderful stay at Caneros Vista Ranch. The property has so many amenities that there’s no need to leave unless you need dining options. This was our second stay and our party enjoyed ourselves throughly.
The home was fantastic! Really great. 5 wonderful bedrooms, saltwater pool, golf hole and more. It was a great trip for 10 adults. We would all stay here again!
The house was great Location in Sonoma and was perfect for our stay. We did wineries in Napa, Sonoma and Healdsburg. Decor is basic, beds comfy, linens basic.The house had everything we needed. Great wine weekend!!
The house was perfect for 10 women as we celebrated a 50th birthday! Easy access to wineries and restaurants. Beautiful property! We loved the pool and the fire pit! Top notch!

This property was perfect for our celebration. Lots of things to do from bocce ball to swimming to a pool table. It had a large kitchen with all of the amenities.
We loved the place. Wonderful with amenities for all age groups (12 to 80). The setting is idyllic with beautiful surrounding mountains, vineyards, olive trees,
Golf greens, beautiful swimming pool, excellent restaurants, etc etc.
We sure are planning to go back!!!!
Wonderful and convenient spot for our 40th anniversary with our 4 children and their spouses. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was especially nice to have a grand place to come back to after being on the wine trail. From short range golf and putting hole to pool table, heated swimming pool, fire pit area or just relaxing on the back porch…..what a delightful place. Check-in was smooth and well explained We did cook breakfast and a couple of meals. Very nice stove with amenities to go with the kitchen. Great for 5 couples!
Not only was this house beautiful, it was very clean too. We loved the game room, bocce and golf 3 par course.
The beds were comfortable. Contact between the owner was excellent.
Carneros Vista Ranch was a great place to host a large group for vacation. The house was as described and in a fun location (close to Sonoma Plaza, across the street from a great vineyard, Sangiacomo). The house itself was in decent shape, albeit sightly more tired than the pictures appeared. Andrew was a great host and gave us some great recs in the area.

Hi MaryKate,
I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay in wine country and appreciate your feedback regarding our home. The home is freshly renovated ($500k renovation completed in 2018), with an all-new kitchen, furnishings, and cabinetry throughout - so I suspect our cleaning service may have fallen a bit short in advance of your stay. We periodically conduct a deep cleaning of the home and will be repainting all of the high-traffic areas in the home at year-end, so the home will be sparkling and fresh for all future guests.
Best,
Andrew
A beautiful farmhouse on a stellar property. Really great location with owners who are invested in keeping their property top notch. The bocce ball fire pit and putt putt were so fun after a day of wine tasting. We felt safe with the gaited property and 5 bedrooms was the perfect size for our group. Lots of common area and a stocked kitchen. Would stay here again thank you for sharing your home with us!
We had couples fly in from varies locations to meet in Sonoma. It was the perfect house for our celebration. 8 people fit comfortably. The outdoor grounds were just beautiful and the spacious downstairs suited our group well. It had all the amenities we needed.plus more. Highly recommend this property and would absolutely visit it again.

This beautiful home was perfect for our stay in Sonoma. With the recent renovation it felt like we were staying at a hotel. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Every room was comfortable and clean. The heated saline pool was my favorite part of the house. If I'm ever lucky enough to visit Sonoma again I hope to stay here.
Carneros Vista Ranch has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The inside is modern and beautifully furnished with comfortable beds, towels and accessories. The outside is beyond words fun! Golf, pool, bocce ball, firepit, bball hoop….we never need or want to leave the house! Andrew is a wonderful host.
Our family of ten met up in Sonoma to reunite and explore wine country. The house was perfect for all of us. Our grown boys loved the golf set up and outdoor fire pit area. There was enough room for all of us and we never felt crowded. We would love to return and actually hang out at the house a little more. We would highly recommend this place for large groups and would love to return in the future.
House was perfect for our group. Great central location to Sonoma and Napa. Power went out during our stay (power co. issue) and the owner was very responsive. It wasn't out long and out of control of owner. Grounds were very nice and fire pit was used nightly. A bit higher priced than others, but you get what you pay for. Will return again if we get the chance!

About the host
Hosted by Andrew W.
Our family lives in the Bay Area near Stanford and we've always loved getting away from it all in wine country. We've rented many houses for family vacations over the past dozen years and were inspired last year to buy a country property of our own that we can share with others and that offers everything a group needs to have a fun, relaxing holiday.
Why they chose this property
So close to everything Sonoma and Napa have to offer but with complete privacy and amazing views.
What makes this property unique
How many vacation rentals have their own vineyard and fully private par three golf hole?
