Set on the banks of Sonoma Creek beneath heritage oaks and open meadows, this serene Glen Ellen compound is an artistic retreat deeply rooted in narrative, place, and authenticity. Centered around an Australian-inspired farmhouse, the property reflects thoughtful sustainability, craftsmanship, and quiet luxury, where reclaimed materials, exposed structural framing, timber posts, corrugated metal roofing, and iconic rainwater collection tanks become part of its architectural language. Gently placed upon the land, this refined estate is remarkable. The main residence unfolds with warm, relaxed interiors rich in honeyed wall paneling, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and artisan details that celebrate art and craft at every turn. A wraparound veranda with fireplace blurs indoor-outdoor living, while the great room is anchored by a commanding stone fireplace, clerestory windows, and mezzanine-style gallery loft connects the upper-level game room. The artful kitchen is centered around a generous island, apron-front sink, open shelving, and elevated detailing suited for gathering and everyday life. A refined staircase rises from the expansive foyer, while the main-level primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with vaulted ceilings, decorative plaster frieze, fireplace, French doors, and adjoining sitting room framed by custom built-ins. A distinctive billiard room adds an artful sense of play, while the lower level includes a stunning commercial-style catering kitchen and private home cinema. Complementing the main residence, a charming 2BR/2BA guest cottage features vaulted interiors, a wraparound screened porch, charming kitchen, main-level ensuite, and playful upper-level bunk room and bath. Nearby, a sculptural artist tower with exposed steel framing and translucent siding serves as studio and gym, while a refined three-car garage with heated floors, finished attic, hospitality amenities, kitchen garden and outdoor shower completes the compound. The grounds invite exploration with stone paths, rustic stairways, year-round creek frontage, and shifting seasonal light that continually reshapes the experience. Open meadows and mature oaks create a landscape both wild and composed. Just minutes from Glen Ellen, in the heart of the Sonoma Valley AVA and approximately an hour from San Francisco, this is a rare offering where design, land, and lifestyle converge.
