Like having your own resort, just 8 minutes from Healdsburg Plaza. Large outdoor kitchen so no more running back and forth to the house. Also, large pool, hot tub, firepit and water features just below your private vineyard. Many seating areas and stunning views. This updated 1910 Craftsman (which used to be our family home) is surrounded by nature/vineyards with no other house in sight. We would love to share our special home and the magic of Healdsburg with you. The space The centerpiece to this resort-like backyard is the outdoor kitchen. OK, we did go a little overboard. But running back and forth to the house while you are BBQing was such a drag. So, we put in a double BBQ (regular and searing), a griddle, two refrigerators, freezer drawers, icemaker, 2 sinks, 3 burners, warming drawer, gas pizza oven, large island, even a dishwasher. And while it is quite large, it is still an intimate place for people to hang out. But we didn’t stop there. Had to do the large freeform pool with large hot tub (totally updated last year), waterfall features, double-sized mosaic tile outdoor dining table with café lights, multiple tiered seating areas, expansive kid’s play structure and a hillside vineyard producing chardonnay and cabernet (which you get to try). Also, foosball, ping pong, Connect4 and cornhole too. The one thing we don’t have is neighbors. We couldn’t help ourselves. We fell in love with this 1910 Craftsman farmhouse with amazing views of the Alexander Valley and only 8 minutes to Healdsburg Plaza. And now just down the road from the new Montage luxury hotel. We spent 8 years remodeling it and creating the outdoor space. We just love it and love even more being able to share this special place with guests. We were even featured in Sonoma Magazine as part of their "Stunning Wine Country Vacation Pools." article. But what is more satisfying is receiving reviews from guests like “you’ll never want to leave this house”, “the most perfect backyard in Healdsburg”, “the best rental property out there” and “Five stars isn't enough.” And we even went a little overboard inside the house. Another large, fully stocked chef's kitchen with large island, griddle, 4 burners, double Thermador ovens, extensive coffee station and more. An entertainment system with 80” 4K TV, 7.1 sound, Apple TV (with Hulu, HBO, Netflix, Disney, Prime, Paramount, Peacock or buy/rent any movie/show you want). Japanese Toto toilets in every bathroom that open for you, heat the seat and even spray your bum – only if you want that of course. A true wood burning fireplace, lovely on those colder nights and central heating and air to make sure you are always comfortable. And who says Fido shouldn’t join in on the fun? We love pets. We provide multiple dog beds, bowls, toys and plenty of space outside to run around (the whole 3 acres is fenced). We do ask for a nominal pet fee which helps us clean everything spotless inside and out. As for beds, there are 8 in total. The master suite has a king bed, located upstairs with its own double-sink full bathroom and separate sitting room. The other bedrooms are downstairs, both with queen beds and direct french door access to the backyard. There is another full bath downstairs plus a half guest bath. There are sofa beds in the upstairs sitting room, master bedroom alcove and downstairs living room. There are also two twin beds in the sunroom off of one of the downstairs bedrooms. One final note before you hopefully read some of our reviews. We want you to not just vacation at our house, but to have one of your best experiences ever. And if that is asking maybe too much, well, we do have a toilet that will spray your bum with water. Guest access Whole house and property except for a couple of closets and the basement area.
