The story
Rarely does a property in Sonoma County wine country offer the extraordinary combination of two separate homes, sweeping hillside views, room to ride, and mature fruit trees that provide a harvest in every season. Set on approximately two picturesque acres, this private country retreat pairs the tranquility of the Petaluma countryside with the restaurants, shops, and vibrant energy of downtown Petaluma just minutes away. A long, meandering driveway leads past a generous horse paddock with riding space and a barn with workshop, offering exceptional flexibility for equestrians and hobbyists alike. Beyond the gate, the main yard comes alive with raised garden beds, lawn, and perimeter growing space. Mature fruit trees and vines provide a harvest all year long, from citrus in winter and spring to berries, apricots, plums, and pears in summer, with grapes and pomegranates arriving each fall. The main residence is filled with natural light, beginning with an inviting living and dining area framed by large windows and anchored by a gas fireplace insert. The spacious kitchen features new quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and convenient pull-out shelving. The lower level includes a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room with direct backyard access, along with a water closet. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower that has multiple shower heads and a TOTO smart toilet. Modern comforts include a newer HVAC system, owned solar with battery backup to help reduce energy costs and provide peace of mind during outages, and reverse-osmosis water systems in both homes. A charming sitting patio leads to the inviting second residence, where a sconce-lit living room opens to a recently refreshed kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom on the main level. Freshly carpeted stairs rise to a grand loft, perfect as a home office, play space, or second living room for movie nights. With separate electric and gas meters, the granny unit offers excellent flexibility as a private guest retreat, multigenerational living space, or a rental for extra income. The property continues to shine outdoors, with a private hot tub for evenings beneath the stars, a chicken coop ready for your own flock, a large patio, and an enclosed play area for added enjoyment. Peaceful and exceptionally versatile, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of country living while remaining close to everything Petaluma has to offer!
