Historic Van Keppel Ranch

Summary:
Enjoy peace and quiet on this historic 50 acre ranch in the beautiful Bennett Valley. Property includes a newly renovated 4 bedroom/3 bath home with decks overlooking seasonal pond and surrounding wildlife, two historic barns and your own meadow.

The Space:
The home is perched on a hillside with 270 degree views and floor to ceiling windows in the common areas decorated in a modern, minimalist style. The hot tub on it's own dedicated deck is set at 103 degrees.

Guest Access:
The Van Keppel Ranch includes a seasonal pond with dock, acres of meadowland, heritage oak trees, three natural springs, access to Taylor Mountain Regional Park affording miles of hiking, and unobstructed views of the surrounding valley and Mt. Saint Helena to the north. Two historic barns are home to a family of barn owls. Deer and turkey roam the property.

The Neighborhood:
Van Keppel Ranch is located just outside the city limits of Santa Rosa which makes it both convenient and serene. You are 2 minutes from Bennett Valley Golf Course, 5 minutes from Whole Foods, 15 minutes from Graton Casino, 20 minutes from the town of Sonoma, 30 minutes from Calistoga, and only 1 hour drive from San Francisco. But you will feel miles away from everything.

Getting Around:
While there is no public transportation serving the property, guests will enjoy easy access to Hwy 101 to San Francisco and Bennett Valley Road connecting you to the rest of Sonoma.

Other Things to Note:
Extensive outdoor lighting makes the property come alive at night highlighting the barns and oak trees surrounding the house as well as the pathway leading to a dock overlooking the pond.
There is a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom as well as a separate studio with ensuite bathroom in addition to the 2 bedrooms sharing one bath.
The house is also equipped with central heating and air conditioning. However, please note that we limit the temperature settings using a Nest thermostat between 69-75 degrees.

Perfect wine country getaway
Gorgeous property in Santa Rosa! Stayed here with 12 other girls for my sister's bachelorette party. It was truly the perfect place for our weekend! Beautiful views inside and out of the house, plenty of seating/beds. We had so much fun sitting on the deck by the fire pit each night. Would definitely recommend!
