Project Description
Downtown Glen Ellen Charmer
1260 Chauvet Rd., Glen Ellen CA 95442
Offered at $1,395,000
Perfect as a year round home, or wine country weekend getaway, this unique enclave and nostalgic setting reflect the timeless beauty and charm of Sonoma Valley. The serene property lies just a few blocks above the Village of Glen Ellen and just below historic Jack London State Park. A perfect blend of country living and in-town accessibility, it offers approx. 1.15 acre of usable land and the convenience of public utilities.
The tranquil retreat includes a main house, guest cottage, garage, inground pool/spa, hot tub with outdoor shower, bocce court and multiple stone patios and decks, all interconnected by groomed, stone lined paths. The main house offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with the dining area, living room, kitchen, one bedroom and full bath on the main floor. A charming staircase connects to the upper level with second full bath and three bedrooms including a sunlit master with wooded views and access to private patio.
Detached from the main home and across the patio, is an enchanting one bedroom guest cottage with full tiled bath, storage closet and extra sitting room/sleeping porch.
The private, gently-sloped grounds are sheltered by native oaks and a variety of mature trees yet feature numerous sunny areas for relaxation or play – bocce court, pool and spa, children’s play structure and space for a potential hobby vineyard, orchard or barn. The land is fenced with a main custom gate and convenient gated service entry.
