Set on acreage with sweeping 180-degree views over Bennett Valley, this rare and magical mid-century property offers privacy, nature, and architectural pedigree just five minutes from Bennett Valley Center offering great eateries, grocery stores, pharmacy, and more with quick access to Highway 101 for commuting. Originally designed by Sonoma County's first interior designer, Laurette McMannis, and later updated by a motion-picture designer, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with sensitivity to original details and a quiet, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. Walls of glass reflect the pond, sky, and surrounding hills, creating a serene indoor-outdoor flow throughout the home. Decks, private groves, and expansive views make the property feel like a true retreat yet it remains close to town, top schools, and open space. This home features a main house plus an independent Tea House, an additional studio ideal for art, yoga, office, or guests. Pond with koi fish and lotus. Expansive decks with panoramic valley views, Mini-splits for heating and air conditioning and a gas fireplace in the living room. Updated kitchen with stone counters and new appliances. There's even space to glamp on your own property. The property is located a few 100 yards from the new entrance to Taylor Mountain Regional Park, with 1,100+ acres of protected open space for hiking, biking, and exploration. Only minutes to Annadel State Park and Bennett Valley back roads. Bennett Valley is consistently regarded as one of Santa Rosa's most desirable areas, known for its schools, community feel, and access to nature.
