Beautiful views and wide-open spaces are what you'll find in these two parcels totaling 5.66 acres. The current owner completed extensive tree work opening the panoramic views to Annadel State Park, Mt. Hood, Valley of the Moon and beyond. The majority of the mostly level property is bordered by handcrafted stone walls and features a stone damn that creates a seasonal pond, adding rustic beauty to this pastoral setting. The sprawling Bennett Ridge neighborhood was designed by famed artist Walter Spike Benson, who designed building envelopes for homes and dedicated open space. The property has an existing 3-bedroom septic system from the previous home lost in 2017 and there are preliminary drawings available for a new 2,200 sf modern farmhouse. Recorded easement for access to back parcel and mutual water agreement.

Two parcels for sale together, totaling 5.66 acres, rest along a quiet country road in world-renowned Bennett Valley. Before the 2017 fires, the property featured a 3BR/2BA, 1,524 sqft home with stables and many outbuildings. A seasonal creek flows through a pasture into a small dam where deer, foxes, coyotes, ospreys, quail, turkeys and ducks congregate. Abundant sun and wide-open space are lovingly framed by handcrafted stone walls. Each parcel is zoned Rural Residential and is eligible for up to three residences (buyer to confirm.) Both are bordered by an old PG&E road to the east that connects to Annadel State Park. Mutual water connection. Clearance letter on file. Fiber optic internet service available. This is an opportunity to build an upscale rural residence in a neighborhood developed by famed artist Walter Spike Benson. 10 minutes to Glen Ellen and 15 to downtown Santa Rosa. 3BR Septic system passed inspection, dead trees have been removed.
