Leslie Creek House - Santa Rosa Wine Country Pool & Hot Tub Retreat

Spend mornings on the patio as the valley wakes up, afternoons among the tasting rooms or hiking Sugarloaf Ridge, and evenings soaking in the hot tub under the oak canopy 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. PROPERTY AMENITIES -- Private swimming pool (solar heated May–October only) -- Private hot tub -- Gourmet kitchen with four-burner gas stove -- Gas grill -- Washer and dryer -- Parking for 4 vehicles

Drop into the private hot tub on the deck, swim in the private pool under its pergola on the terraced stone patio, then warm up by the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace inside. The whole home is yours, with a gas fireplace, jetted tub, BBQ, outdoor dining, and mountain views from the upper-level balcony. Punch in the keypad code at the door; up to four cars fit in the driveway (the garage is owner-only).

Your hillside retreat sits 10 miles north of downtown Santa Rosa, surrounded by oak woodlands where deer graze in the morning mist. Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards is just 2.9 miles away, with Roth Estate Winery 3.3 miles down the road. For provisions, Molsberry Markets is 3.7 miles away, or try Sam's Market at 3.6 miles for quick essentials. The legendary Pepperwood Preserve hiking trails begin 2.2 miles from your door, while Shiloh Ranch Regional Park offers 425 acres of trails and views 2.8 miles away. When you're ready for dinner, Chalk Hill Cookery (3.7 miles) serves farm-to-table cuisine, or grab casual bites at Homerun Pizza (3.7 miles). This pocket of wine country puts you minutes from Alexander Valley tasting rooms while maintaining the peaceful seclusion that makes Sonoma County special. Downtown Santa Rosa's breweries and restaurants are a quick 10-mile drive when you want urban energy.

Santa Rosa is about 55 minutes from San Francisco via US-101 North — an easy freeway drive into the heart of Sonoma County. Park up to 4 vehicles in the driveway — perfect for multiple couples traveling together. Santa Rosa is a natural hub for exploring Sonoma County — most of the region is within a 30-minute drive.

• 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.
