Escape to Chianti, your elegant and exclusive farmhouse ranch nestled atop a hill in scenic Sonoma County, CA. A hidden gem, this retreat offers breathtaking nature views and unparalleled privacy, accessible via a private road winding through picturesque landscapes.
As you approach Chianti you'll be transported to a world of serenity and grandeur. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient oak trees, you'll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while being only 5 minutes away from town. Immerse yourself in the seclusion and stunning surroundings, and enjoy the true wine country ranch experience.
Step into the heart of Chianti, where modern luxury meets farmhouse charm. Soaring ceilings greet you in the gourmet chef’s kitchen. The large marble island elevates the farmhouse-style blue cabinetry and rustic wood accents. Plenty of barstool seats allow you to conversate with your group while cooking. The stunning space is complemented by an array of high-end stainless steel appliances including a 64” inch double refrigerator, two built-in ovens, two dishwashers, two sinks, and a wine fridge. Enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal in the adjacent dining room, or opt for alfresco dining at the screened-in porch.
Two living areas each boast an elevated yet cozy ambiance, perfect for a movie night. The sunroom serves as additional living space, with plenty of seating and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and sweeping views. Tranquility flows throughout the enclosed wrap-around porch. Retreat to one of the egg chairs to unwind in solitude, or grab your friends and play a game at the shuffleboard table.
The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed for fun and quality time with your group. Gather around the outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows and share stories, and end the evening with a dip in the hot tub. From sweeping views to starry skies, the outdoor area sets the scene for relaxation all day long. Bring your camera and capture stunning photographs of the local birdlife, a delightful experience for hobbyists and professional photographers alike.
Chianti’s Playbarn offers the perfect space to socialize with your guests. The exterior features a covered bocce ball court, lined with wine barrels and bar stools. Fire up the grill for the ultimate evening BBQ accompanied by lots of laughter and friendly competition. Inside the barn sits a pool billiard table, a foosball table, darts, and a 74” TV with a sound system. Entertainment is effortless at the Playbarn, ensuring hassle-free hosting during your stay!
Unwind from the day in one of four bedrooms, each with a king bed. The primary bedroom, located on the first floor, and the loft suite (bedroom 4), located above the garage, each feature an ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience. On the second floor, Bedrooms 2 and 3 boast stunning views and a spacious shared bathroom with a soaking tub.
Chianti lies within the Alexander Valley AVA, known for its vineyards and Cabernet Sauvignon wine. In only 20 minutes, you can be dining at the Michelin-starred restaurants in the Healdsburg Plaza, or taste testing at the Anderson Valley Brewing Co. brewery in Boonville. Anderson Valley, famous for Pinot Noir, is a stone’s throw away. This incredible location provides the perfect home base for exploring Northern California’s famous wine country.
With its unparalleled privacy, stunning views, and ample amenities, Chianti is more than just a vacation rental—it's an unforgettable escape promising relaxation, rejuvenation, and cherished memories for your next friends and family getaway.
