The Ranch at Quailbrook Lane is a rare generational homestead opportunity, situated on the sun-soaked western slope of Sonoma Mountain. Sitting above the fogline, and straddling the Sonoma Valley and Petaluma Gap wine regions, this modernized hillside ranch offers the fundamental connection to nature we seek – from meandering hiking trails dappled with native gardens to stunning sunsets and 270-degree views of Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties. A true oasis of hope and beauty, the ranch has been thoughtfully cultivated for more than a decade with an eye towards a sustainable future.
The ranch is home to 5 state-of-the-art structures across two parcels totaling approximately 160 acres of meticulously tended farmland. Each custom structure has been built with intention to operate within the natural beauty of the land. The 849± square foot, 2-bed, 1-full bath Guest House was built in 2015 of earth plaster with 14-inch thick walls and rock wool insulation. The 1,718± square foot Carriage House doubles as a garage with a sweeping second-floor loft space perfect for entertaining or meetings. A vaulted, reclaimed wood ceiling, a powder room, shower, wet bar and stunning bay window views of oak groves complete the Carriage House experience. The Primary Residential site was mindfully engineered to offer the development of a custom-built 4500± square foot estate plus 1,200± square feet of roof-covered patio to optimize the full potential for indoor/outdoor living.
The stunning barn - built in 2015 with wood reclaimed from Port of Oakland warehouses, boasts a lime plaster and wood interior on two levels and features three oversized garage bays, an open bay and solar panels. Dual French doors open into a sun-drenched, newly-rebuilt 800± square foot, split-level Studio with a full bath and a redwood wrap around deck. A fully-insulated, 180± square foot casita was recently restored from its turn-of-the-century roots as a creamery barn and features an outdoor shower and bathtub.
Fifty-five miles and a world away from San Francisco, this charming hillside homestead has been lovingly tended - with more than 2,000 native trees planted since 2010 (including oaks, Buckeyes, cottonwoods and willows) and 1.5 miles of seasonal creeks teeming with ancient species of trees, tranquil walking trails and natural gardens. Rotational grazing ensures healthy grasslands and watersheds. Conservation easements on private land bordering the ranch's northern, southern and western boundaries ensure privacy, unobstructed views and protection against future development. Built responsibly in concert with the land, The Ranch at Quailbrook Lane is a mystical refuge in the heart of wine country.
