295 Sonoma Ridge Road, Santa Rosa

PRIVATE 40-ACRE SONOMA RIDGE VINEYARD ESTATE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS 

Set on more than 40 acres above Santa Rosa’s Bennett Valley, 295 Sonoma Ridge Road is an exceptional Wine Country estate where craftsmanship, nature, and privacy converge. The 6,100 ± sq ft residence was completed in 2002 and evokes East Coast architecture re-imagined for California living—timeless, warm, and filled with light.

A private drive winds through vineyards and oak-studded hills to the gated entry. Once inside, every view reveals rolling ridgelines, distant vineyards, and open sky. The property’s elevation provides an unmatched sense of seclusion while remaining minutes from Glen Ellen and Santa Rosa’s amenities.

Inside, the home unfolds across 13 rooms, 3 bedrooms, and 4.5 baths. Vaulted ceilings, handcrafted woodwork, and expansive French doors define the interiors. A Shaker-style cherry banister anchors the central staircase, while carved South American doors and reclaimed beams add character throughout. Natural light floods the living areas from clerestory windows and skylights, highlighting the home’s refined yet comfortable design.

The main level offers a natural flow between formal and casual spaces. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and professional-grade appliances, opening to a dining area and family room with a fireplace and multiple sets of French doors to the terrace. A media lounge and billiards room provide space for gathering, while every window frames vineyard or mountain views.

The primary suite is a true retreat with a sitting area, private balcony, and spa-inspired bathroom with heated floors and bespoke millwork. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. A home office with a wall of glass overlooks the valley below. On the lower level, a 2,500-bottle wine cellar and tasting area invite relaxed entertaining.

Outdoor living is central to the estate’s design. A pool and spa sit among stone terraces and mature landscaping, surrounded by multiple dining pergolas and a custom firepit patio. The “Fantasy Deck” crowns the property, capturing panoramic views that stretch across the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains. Lush gardens, a vegetable plot, and meandering trails offer both beauty and ease of maintenance.

Recent improvements include new irrigation and well infrastructure, a 5,000-gallon water tank with Generac backup generator, and refreshed landscaping by Telluric Landscapes. 

The 9.5 acres of organically farmed vineyard on rolling hills in the Sonoma Mountain and Bennet Valley AVAs produces high quality grapes for long-standing boutique winery clients. The vineyard includes Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Syrah, Merlot, and Cab Franc.

With its blend of East Coast elegance and Wine Country authenticity, 295 Sonoma Ridge Road is both grand and intimate—a private, light-filled sanctuary designed for connection, creativity, and lasting enjoyment.
