About this property

Carneros Vista Ranch - Farmhouse Estate on 3 Acres near Sonoma Plaza

Down a long private driveway off of Highway 12 just two miles south of the historic Sonoma Plaza, Carneros Vista Ranch sits on three acres amid the countryside, with lots of privacy and miles of views. Having just completed an extensive renovation, the spacious 5 bedroom farmhouse is ideally suited to hosting vacation getaways in wine country.

The property features multiple outdoor entertaining areas perfect for enjoying the California sunshine or relaxing in the shade. A large outdoor patio features an oversized solar-heated, salt water pool with automatic cover, a BBQ grille and outdoor dining table with seating for ten. A short walk from the house and amid the newly planted vines sits a rustic wine country patio complete with bocce court, adirondack chairs and fire pit. For more fun, take advantage of the property's full sized par 3 golf hole (professionally built by Southwest Greens with Nicklaus synthetic turf), complete with multiple tee boxes and a 4,000 sq ft green. Enjoy a spirited putting or chipping contest with your friends amid the vineyard before returning to the farmhouse for a restful night’s sleep.

The home features central air conditioning/heating with dual zone controls. In addition, there are wide plank white oak hardwood floors throughout. Downstairs features an open floorplan for the kitchen, dining and living rooms to make entertaining easy for large groups. The kitchen features professional grade appliances and a large center island complete with wine fridge. In addition, there is a separate game room downstairs with pool table and bar console with television.

The upstairs of the home features four bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with king-sized bed, a cozy window seat and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also features a king bed while the two other bedrooms each have queen beds. These bedrooms share a hallway bathroom while downstairs there is a third bathroom and a bedroom with a queen bed.

Please note that although our pool is serviced and open year-round, since our pool is solar heated, it is very pleasant to swim in (temperature in the 80s) from May through October. In late March/April and through most of November the pool temperatures are cooler but still generally fine for swimming (70s), while in late November through mid-March the cold air temperatures (low 40s typically) make the pool too cold for most to want to swim.

Amazing property with lots of extras!
A beautiful farmhouse on a stellar property. Really great location with owners who are invested in keeping their property top notch. The bocce ball fire pit and putt putt were so fun after a day of wine tasting. We felt safe with the gaited property and 5 bedrooms was the perfect size for our group. Lots of common area and a stocked kitchen. Would stay here again thank you for sharing your home with us!

solid property in a great location
Carneros Vista Ranch was a great place to host a large group for vacation. The house was as described and in a fun location (close to Sonoma Plaza, across the street from a great vineyard, Sangiacomo). The house itself was in decent shape, albeit sightly more tired than the pictures appeared. Andrew was a great host and gave us some great recs in the area.

Family wine tasting
Our family of ten met up in Sonoma to reunite and explore wine country. The house was perfect for all of us. Our grown boys loved the golf set up and outdoor fire pit area. There was enough room for all of us and we never felt crowded. We would love to return and actually hang out at the house a little more. We would highly recommend this place for large groups and would love to return in the future.

This beautiful home was perfect for our stay in Sonoma. With the recent renovation it felt like we were staying at a hotel. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Every room was comfortable and clean. The heated saline pool was my favorite part of the house. If I'm ever lucky enough to visit Sonoma again I hope to stay here.

Wonderful Girls Wine Trip
House was perfect for our group. Great central location to Sonoma and Napa. Power went out during our stay (power co. issue) and the owner was very responsive. It wasn't out long and out of control of owner. Grounds were very nice and fire pit was used nightly. A bit higher priced than others, but you get what you pay for. Will return again if we get the chance!

Anniversary visit
Outside amenities are awesome! Pool, Bocci ball, and Golf hole. Plenty of room inside. Everything we needed was on site. Only suggestion would be to clean up the garage area. Since the washer and dryer are located there, not visually appealing. Also, lots of cobwebs in the house in hard to reach places. Otherwise, no complaints.

Beautiful property
My family and I had an absolutely amazing vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful home. It far exceeded our expectations and the photos honestly don’t do it justice. We took full advantage of all the activities: pool, bocce, pool table, ping pong, golf. There was absolutely nothing that the house was lacking and the host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Sonoma Piece of Heaven
Our stay at Carneros Vista Ranch couldn’t have been better. Andrew was a great host and was always prompt with answering any questions we had. There were so many fun outdoor activities that my family never wanted to leave the property! The putting green is huge and well maintained, surrounded by a next door farm with cows and peacocks to enjoy across the fence. The vineyard is gorgeous and a beautiful walk which connects to the bocce ball court, golf and fire pit. Roasting marshmallows at the fire pit was a great way to end the day. The large solar heated pool , pool table and ping pong table were always in use. The house is beautiful with top notch appliances. We can’t wait to return next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Carneros Vista Ranch. Picking a vacation spot from 3000 miles away isn't always easy, but we hit a home run with this house.The property is beautiful and our family enjoyed all of it. The home was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. The owners were very easy to work with and I would highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew W.

Host profile image
Our family lives in the Bay Area near Stanford and we've always loved getting away from it all in wine country. We've rented many houses for family vacations over the past dozen years and were inspired last year to buy a country property of our own that we can share with others and that offers everything a group needs to have a fun, relaxing holiday.

Why they chose this property

So close to everything Sonoma and Napa have to offer but with complete privacy and amazing views.

What makes this property unique

How many vacation rentals have their own vineyard and fully private par three golf hole?
