About this property

Your own Wine Country resort with pool and Sonoma Mountain View

Olive Glen is a new home on Sonoma Creek in beautiful Glen Ellen, California, minutes from the world-famous wineries of the Sonoma Valley and Napa. This beautiful, private home, with heated pool and spa, is on nearly an acre of land with a 60 vine vineyard and views of treetops, Sonoma Mountain, and Sonoma Creek.

It's the perfect place for time away with friends or family.

The home is shaded by mature olive and redwood trees. Its features include a new pool and spa completed in 2024, a fully equipped chef's kitchen, a covered outdoor game/TV room with pool table and ping pong, solar power, an electric car charging station, a home entertainment center, an indoor dining area for 6, outdoor teak dining table, gas fireplace (no propane tank needed), hardwood floors, wine refrigerator, upscale linens, modern decor, and much more.

There is a full bathroom and an outdoor shower pool side.

The primary bedroom's en suite bath has a giant soaking tub. All living space is on a single level, which opens out to a 1500-square-foot deck with areas to lounge and enjoy the views, a teak dining table, a gas BBQ (connected to the installed gas line, no propane tanks required), and southern exposure for all-day sunshine (most of the time). The deck is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of rosé and read a good book (there's fast internet and a PS4 inside too).

The game room has everything, it's a covered patio overlooking the pool, vineyard, and Sonoma Mountain with a pool table, ping pong table, dart board, corn hole, and an 85" television to gather and watch the big game, a movie, or your favoriteTV show.

A separate casita studio with kitchen is available for up to 2 additional guests is available only for stays of 30 days or more for an additional fee.

There is plenty of off street parking for up to three cars.

Olive Glen is about half a mile from fine dining options in the village of Glen Ellen, including the acclaimed Glen Ellen Star, Jack London Saloon, The Fig Cafe and Wine Bar, The Mill at Glen Ellen, Garden Court Cafe, and Yeti.  

There are dozens of vineyards, wineries, and wine-tasting rooms nearby, several within walking distance.  The area is also perfect for hiking at Jack London State Park, or Sonoma Valley Regional Park, biking, photography, and relaxing.  We hope you enjoy Olive Glen and Glen Ellen as much as we do.

Fabulous Getaway!

The town of Glen Ellen is darling and this house was perfect! Group of 6 was just right. The outdoor space with pool and hot tub was super fun with great views and the kitchen was fully equipped. Also really loved the double vanity and cute tub in the master bedroom bath! Owners were super responsive as well.

Great location and outdoor space

We were disappointed in the living room layout for socializing. There is an extra chair in the old photos and new photos of this property that is not there. We had to bring outdoor folding chairs inside to use as the sofa is not very practical. We apparently did not read the fine print about the 3rd bathroom being located outside for the pool area and not inside for the 3rd bedroom. It was inconvenient unfortunately. The house is in a great location and the outdoor space is really nice.
