Sonoma 4BR modern farmhouse with heated pool, hot tub & fire pit

Summary:

Sunlight streams through tall windows onto exposed wood beams and dark hardwood floors — this is modern wine country living with room to breathe. Four bedrooms sleep 8, with a solar-heated pool, hot tub, and fire pit spread across landscaped grounds surrounded by mature trees, all a five-minute drive from Sonoma Plaza and its 20-plus walkable tasting rooms. Buena Vista Winery and Gundlach Bundschu are each about a mile away. Gather your group and settle into Sonoma Valley the way it was meant to be.



The Space:

Tall windows pour light across exposed beams and dark hardwood at this modern Sonoma farmhouse, where the backyard works like a private resort — solar-heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, screened porch, and a lawn ringed by mature trees. Four bedrooms sleep 8, a five-minute drive from Sonoma Plaza's twenty-plus walkable tasting rooms.



Plush sofas, a gas fireplace, and a 65-inch TV fill the open living space. An adjacent den with its own screen and cowhide rug gives the kids a quieter spot. The kitchen commands attention — shaker cabinets, a professional-style range with hood, subway tile backsplash, and an expansive island seating five beneath pendant lighting. Two dishwashers, a double oven, and an ice machine round out the lineup. A dining table against a white brick accent wall completes the flow toward the pool deck.



OUTDOOR LIVING

Your backyard unfolds around a swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas, a private hot tub alongside. A screened porch with ceiling fan offers covered dining, a gas grill stands ready for cookouts, and a fire pit invites evening stargazing. Adirondack chairs tucked among ferns provide a quieter moment.



SONOMA VALLEY SETTING

Buena Vista Winery — one of California's oldest — and Gundlach Bundschu each pour about a mile from the front door, with Sebastiani closer still at 0.9 miles. Café La Haye and LaSalette anchor the Plaza's dining scene, and Sonoma State Historic Park keeps the Mission and Bear Flag history a short stroll from the tasting rooms.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

The main-level primary suite has a king bed, 55-inch TV, and en-suite with double vanity and walk-in shower. A second main-level queen bedroom opens to a covered porch. Upstairs, a twin bedroom and queen bedroom share a third bath. Three full bathrooms total. Sleeps 8.

The Neighborhood:

You are five minutes by car from Sonoma Plaza, the largest public plaza in California and the heart of Sonoma’s walkable wine-and-dining scene with 20-plus tasting rooms. Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery (0.9 mi), Buena Vista Winery (1.0 mi) — one of California’s oldest — and Gundlach Bundschu Winery (1.1 mi) are each about a mile from the front door. Bartholomew Estate Winery (1.1 mi) offers small-production tastings in a historic park. For dining, Café La Haye (1.2 mi) and LaSalette Restaurant (1.2 mi) are acclaimed options near the Plaza. Sonoma Garden Park (0.7 mi) is a short walk for a morning stroll, and Sonoma State Historic Park (1.3 mi) brings the Bear Flag Revolt and Mission San Francisco Solano to life.



Getting Around:

Sonoma is about an hour from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 37 — a scenic drive across San Pablo Bay wetlands into the Sonoma Valley. Parking is available for two vehicles. A car makes Sonoma Valley easy to explore — tasting rooms, restaurants, and parks run up and down Highway 12. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.



Other Things to Note:

A few things worth knowing before you arrive. The pool is solar-heated from May through September to around 80–85°F, weather-dependent, as there is no pool cover. There is no pool cover so cooler nights the temperature can drop. Outside that window, the pool is unheated and ranges from 50–70°F — the hot tub is available year-round for a warm soak. Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM per Sonoma County regulations. No amplified outdoor music at any time. No smoking anywhere on the premises. Maximum occupancy is 8 guests. The home has air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi.
