Set on approximately seven acres in Bennett Valley adjacent to the golf course, this rare historic property offers an extraordinary opportunity to restore a remarkable estate in one of Sonoma County's most serene settings. Originally established as a homesite in 1892, the property has evolved over generations while retaining the timeless character that makes it so special. Towering heritage trees, expansive sun-dappled lawns, meandering creek frontage, raised garden beds, and neighboring protected conservation land create a truly serene landscape where deer and other wildlife frequently wander the property. The existing compound includes a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main residence with an attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest suite, a detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage, a two-story garage with three additional rooms and a loft, and a historic barn. Together, the improvements provide a rare foundation for a thoughtful restoration while offering exceptional flexibility for future use. The structures require significant renovation and are being offered as an opportunity to reimagine this historic property while preserving its remarkable setting and legacy. Private, peaceful, and increasingly difficult to find, this is a rare chance to become the next steward of a truly special Bennett Valley property.
