9787 Mill Station Road

Tucked among the trees on a quiet stretch of West Sebastopol's back roads sits a modern farmhouse with a story as distinctive as its design. Built by Fairweather & Associates, the respected Sonoma County design-build firm known for homes that pair contemporary craftsmanship with the character of the surrounding landscape, the two-story residence takes its cues from the classic farmhouse silhouette and sits on a private, 1.4-acre parcel shaded by oaks and mature redwoods. The home was profiled in The Press Democrat for its clever use of unpretentious, everyday materials to create a striking, one-of-a-kind farmhouse-modern look. Enter the home through a covered, open-air breezeway that divides it into two connected wings, keeping the interior in constant conversation with the garden outside. The lower level offers a private guest suite and a vaulted-ceiling living room warmed by radiant-heated concrete floors, along with a completely reimagined kitchen, remodeled with new cabinetry, countertops, a new range and hood, new dishwasher, and a handmade Heath ceramic tile backsplash. Upstairs, the primary bedroom shares its own screened breezeway with a spacious home office, a quiet, light-filled perch above the trees. The home comes equipped with an EV Charger along with other smart home features. The living room opens through French doors to a private outdoor space that makes the most of Sebastopol's indoor-outdoor living. The grounds are home to raised vegetable garden beds and a wide variety of fruit trees: plum, pluot, Asian pear, lemon, fig, apple, and others, watered by strategically placed spigots with smart, weather-aware timers. New gravel pathways tie the front and back gardens together. A private hot tub and outdoor shower round out the retreat, while a newly built stone patio flows from the home's expansive deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining, with views of nearby vineyards. Just minutes from downtown Sebastopol, the Barlow Marketplace. Twenty-five minutes to the Sonoma Coast and the Sonoma County Airport. This is a rare chance to own a home with genuine design pedigree and a sense of place unlike anything else in the Sebastopol West County.
