There are two private and light-filled renovated residences, one a 3-bedroom and one a 2 or 3-bedroom; there is possibility for a third dwelling or guest house. The homes boast open plans with vaulted, open beam ceilings, multiple picture windows and glass doors providing lovely outlooks and accesses to the grounds. The valley floor site offers views of Sonoma Mountain and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
