40 Acre Bennett Valley Country Home

This 40 Acre Bennett Valley Country Home was built in 1906 & sits on a beautiful 40+/-acre parcel with dramatic views over Bennett Valley across from the Sonoma Ridge Park & trail network which connects to Jack London State Park in Glen Ellen. It has a 2nd 1,200+/- square foot detached office/guest house building that is very nicely appointed with modern amenities throughout.  The original house is in need of remodeling or just live in the guest house while you build your dream home.  The property has 4.5+/-acres planted to Pinot Noir & Chardonnay vines as well as a CA State recognized pond & acres of additional use-able land suitable for horses. The land itself is gentle to rolling offering a wine country setting 2nd to none that looks out over Bennett Valley, one of Sonoma Counties most beautiful and convenient locations nestled between Glen Ellen, Kenwood & Santa Rosa with easy access to San Francisco and the Bay area.
This land & vineyard sits within 3 AVA’s; Sonoma Mountain, Bennett Valley, and Sonoma Valley.  That means wines produced from grapes grown here can be labeled as coming from any of the 3 AVA’s, which is a huge advantage to marketing and bottle pricing.

The home is located across from hiking and equestrian riding trails within the North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve, which is the newest Sonoma County park. This 820-acre park includes a 4-mile section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail connecting to Jack London State Historic Park for through-hiking opportunities. The Ridge Trail begins in the ferns and redwoods on the south fork of Matanzas Creek, then climbs to nearly 2,000 feet through forests of oaks and bay laurels. The trail treats hikers to stunning views of peaks surrounding Santa Rosa and Sonoma Valley.

Surrounding Bennett Valley are two additional large parks each with extensive trail networks for horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking.  See the links below for more information reading all three parks:  North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park, Annadel State Park & the Taylor Mountain Regional Park & Open Space Preserve.

This property is centrally located to some of the best areas that Sonoma County has to offer. It is only 6 miles from Glen Ellen where there is World-Class wineries and restaurants including the Glen Ellen Star, 14 miles from historic downtown Sonoma, and 26 miles to downtown shopping and fine dining in Healdsburg. It’s also only 11 miles to downtown Santa Rosa which has vast shopping, restaurants, award winning school districts & more. This Sonoma Mountain estate offers the very best of wine country living.
