Wine country pool & hot tub retreat

Lap pool, hot tub, and a canopy of oaks welcome you to this creekside estate built for entertaining. This contemporary hillside home sleeps 8 in four bedrooms, each with exposed beam ceilings and colorful designer touches. Just 10 miles from downtown Santa Rosa and minutes from Alexander Valley wineries. The gourmet kitchen has everything for cooking with farmers market finds. The space Spend mornings on the patio as the valley wakes up, afternoons among the tasting rooms or hiking Sugarloaf Ridge, and evenings around the firepit with a bottle from the day's barrel visits. Two distinct living spaces give the group room to spread out. The main living room rises around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and large gridded windows overlooking the forest. A second living area carries a turquoise accent wall and contemporary furnishings — kids claim it while the adults stay by the fire. The open gourmet kitchen anchors the home with honey-colored wood cabinetry, granite counters, and a curved breakfast bar that seats six. Cook on a four-burner gas stove with two sinks while a second gas fireplace warms the morning. Casual meals land at the kitchen table, formal evenings at the eight-seat dining room. A wet bar, Sonos Playbar, and 65-inch TV with DirecTV round out a media room built for Friday-night arrival. OUTDOOR LIVING Multiple decks and patios at different levels maximize the hillside setting, with built-in benches inviting you to linger over mountain and valley views. The rectangular swimming pool — solar heated May through October — features blue tile accents and is surrounded by a wooden deck with lounge chairs, while a wooden pergola provides shade over part of the pool area. Terraced gardens with natural stone retaining walls showcase drought-tolerant plantings throughout the grounds. Fire up the gas grill for outdoor dining, then slip into the private hot tub for stargazing through the oak canopy overhead. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The master suite sets a romantic tone with a king bed, gas fireplace, and sliding doors opening to a private deck, complemented by a large walk-in closet and an attached bathroom with a window-lined jetted soaking tub. The second bedroom features a queen murphy wall bed with periwinkle blue accent walls. The third bedroom provides a queen bed amid sage green walls with its own stone fireplace. The fourth bedroom delights with a built-in queen bed, a queen futon with thick mattress, and direct deck access. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 8.

Punch in the keypad code at the door; up to four cars fit in the driveway (the garage is owner-only). Other things to note Two active security cameras monitor the exterior near the garage and entrance. Internet is available — suitable for streaming and remote work, though speeds may vary. The home stays naturally cool thanks to the oak tree canopy and hillside breezes — there's no central AC, but you'll find the exposed beam ceilings and multiple levels create excellent air circulation. The pool is heated only by solar panels from May through October — outside these months, it's quite chilly for swimming but beautiful to look at. The media room's 65-inch TV with live channels and premium sound system makes for great movie nights. The primary renter must be 21 or older.
