The Lodge is situated just off the very center of the Sonoma Valley floor, at the mouth of a granite canyon that becomes Sugar Loaf State Park. The outdoor splendor merges with the indoors as endless windows bifold to open completely to the great outdoors. Secluded and picturesque, with views to the forested peaks of the surrounding state park, this estate is just minutes from the best wineries: Kenwood, Chateau St Jean, Landmark, Kunde. Art Deco antiques abound with an informal 'feet up' level of comfort and ease throughout. Auto-start generator for seamless management of power outages. HIGHLIGHTS: Idyllic in the summer, the house is uniquely fabulous in the winter, spring, and fall because of the great room and its massive fireplace. Rainy, cool days are a delight with friends or family gathering around the 20-foot tall Great Room, with the fireplace at one end and cooking in the vast professional kitchen at the other end. An adjacent 10-foot wine bar in the sunroom affords temperature-controlled refrigeration for optimal wine tasting. When outdoor temperatures drop, there is radiant heat (under the oak flooring) so one is more than comfortable in the high-ceilinged spaces. When the rainy season starts, the nearby creek fills significantly and rushes by to the valley floor. It can sound like Niagara Falls is across the way; truly delightful. A memorable gathering place is the outdoor fire-pit under a 150-foot tall fir tree with adjacent 18-foot slab table - a fabulous place to dine or gather around a glowing fire, share stories, and tall tales. At sunset, the hills of the state park radiate an unforgettable russet, an amazing display of pastels fill the sky, a choir of songbirds heralds the setting sun and the wine tastes even better...
