Santa Rosa 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.

Step into 4,896 square feet of contemporary craftsman design where award-winning interior designer Susy McBride's playful palette of turquoise, periwinkle, and sage green pops against natural wood and stone. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams and skylights fill every corner with natural light, and the moment you walk in, the scale and warmth of this hillside retreat feel like something special. Two distinct living spaces give your group room to spread out. The main living room features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and large gridded windows overlooking the surrounding forest. A second living area showcases a turquoise accent wall and contemporary furnishings — perfect for the kids to claim while adults relax by the fire. The open gourmet kitchen anchors the home with honey-colored wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a curved breakfast bar that seats five to six. You cook on a four-burner gas stove with two sinks and sleek appliances including a dishwasher, while a second gas fireplace warms the space each morning. Gather at the six-person kitchen table for casual meals, or move to the eight-person formal dining room when the occasion calls for it. A wet bar, Sonos Playbar, and a 65-inch TV in the media room round out your evening entertainment options.

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.
