Description

Tucked beneath the trees on a sprawling lot, this fairytale cottage offers a rare sense of privacy in a forested valley in eastern Sonoma County. It feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life, yet Santa Rosa, Calistoga, and Highway 101 are all just 15 minutes away.

...Tucked beneath the trees on a sprawling lot, this fairytale cottage offers a rare sense of privacy in a forested valley in eastern Sonoma County. It feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life, yet Santa Rosa, Calistoga, and Highway 101 are all just 15 minutes away.

The inviting two-bedroom, one-bath cottage is warm, comfortable, and surrounded by nature. This home features owned solar panels with bidirectional PG&E meter, providing credits for surplus energy sent back to the grid and helping reduce electricity costs. A newer water heater, and a water treatment system add even more everyday convenience. Multiple decks and outdoor spaces provide options to relax, dine, entertain, or simply take in the peaceful wooded setting.

Two additional structures open up all kinds of possibilities. Create a home office, art studio, private gym, or quiet retreat in one, while using the other for storage, a workshop, or whatever your next project calls for. With parking for four or more cars, there’s plenty of room for guests and all the extras that come with country living.

More than anything, this is a place to slow down. A magical private retreat beneath the trees, surrounded by nature, where the pace is easier and you'll feel a world away. Welcome home.
