Some properties come to market. The rarest ones have never left a family's hands until now. Perched above the iconic Fountaingrove skyline, this 2.3-acre residential parcel represents the final chapter of the original Nielsen Ranch and the most personal one. This is the piece of ground the Nielsen family reserved for themselves. Not sold off. Not subdivided. Held. For generations. Now, for the first time, it's yours to claim. Positioned above Keysight Technology with sweeping eastern exposures, the site captures the kind of morning light and long-horizon views that remind you why people have always been drawn to the hills of Fountaingrove. Whether you're watching the first light break over the valley or designing the home you've always envisioned, this parcel delivers the canvas. At 2.3 acres in one of Santa Rosa's most established luxury communities, this is not a lot it is a legacy site. A place to build something that lasts, on ground that already has. Fountaingrove living at its most intentional. Views that earn their reputation. History that adds meaning to every square foot.

Fountaingrove, located between Highway 101 and Annadel State Park, is a hillside and master-planned Santa Rosa neighborhood with golf-course greens and ridge-top views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fountaingrove Parkway and Thomas Lake Harris Drive junction, where landscaped medians, trailheads, and a steady flow of cyclists set a polished, outdoors-forward tone. Housing leans contemporary and Mediterranean-influenced, with newer builds and rebuilt enclaves shaped by the area’s recent history. The Fountaingrove Club anchors the social calendar with fairways and dining. For arts and local flavor nearby, Luther Burbank Center for the Arts and Russian River Brewing Company in town act as familiar gathering points. Oak-studded open space and winding streets keep the pace calm while still feeling connected to Santa Rosa’s core.
