Bennett Ridge ADU Country Property

This Bennett Ridge ADU Country Property is one of the most desirable areas of Bennett Valley and Sonoma County. The views and setting in this neighborhood are absolutely magical. The grounds of this beautiful Bennett ridge country property include views over the Valley of the Moon, fruit trees including plum, cherry, and fig, raspberries and strawberries, an outdoor patio, gazebo, fireplace, koi pond, walking paths and wildflowers.

The original house on this property was taken during the Nuns fire in 2017. The current owners renovated the detached garage building after they purchased the property and turned it into a tasteful 1-bedroom ADU Granny Unit. This home is adorned with high-quality finishes throughout including stone and wood counters, blown glass pendants, custom ceramic bathroom shower surround, stone sink and wooden vanity, a wall that opens to nature, and much more.

The new owner can still rebuild another dream house by adding onto the existing home, or build another detached home, whichever they prefer. The next owner also has the benefit of using the Sonoma County Resiliency Program guidelines to rebuild with, which will save them substantial time and money through the building and permitting process.

The area this beautiful property is located in is called Bennett Ridge, known to the locals as ‘The Ridge’.  It sits at the top of Bennett Valley adjacent to Trione-Annadel State Park.  The entire neighborhood has been beautified over the past eight years with almost all the neighborhood homes being custom designed and newly built with a manicured country setting that is appealing the moment you enter the area.  It stands out as exceptional.

The Bennett Ridge community provides domestic water to all its homes through its Mutual Water Company, which is state monitored and tested every month.

Trione-Annadel State Park is right around the corner offering over 5,500 acres, a 26-acre lake, and many miles of hiking and riding trails…

Bennett Valley is surrounded by three large parks total: Trione-Annadel State Park, North Sonoma Ridge Regional Park and Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve. They each offer miles and hundreds of acres of hiking and riding trails to explore. This Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys Sonoma County has to offer and has become a destination sought after by people wanting to live the rural wine country lifestyle yet still be close to all the amenities Santa Rosa, Glen Ellen, Kenwood, Sonoma, and Healdsburg have to offer.  It also offers an easy 45-minute commute to San Francisco having a strategic location that avoids heavier traffic areas that hinder other areas further North, such as Healdsburg.

Sonoma County is full of micro-climates. Bennett Valley is no exception. This valley sits on the fringe of the Petaluma Gap known for its coastal influence. This causes Bennett Valley to have a milder micro-climate compared with downtown Santa Rosa, or Sonoma, so close by. In the summer you can expect Bennett Valley to be about 10-degrees cooler than the areas surrounding it with a gentle breeze kicking up every day around 3:00 pm. In the mornings, it’s common for a light fog layer to settle on the valley floor. It’s one of the absolute best micro-climates to live in throughout all of Sonoma County.
