Description
Designed to immerse you in beauty, Stoney Bottom is an idyllic private estate in the heart of the Anderson Valley wine region just two hours north of San Francisco. Inspired by an English strolling garden, the 6-acre property and gardens were designed and built over the course of 20 years by the former director of the San Francisco Botanical gardens. The gardens and rolling lawns are landscaped with gorgeous botanicals, (some of which are very rare and unusual) and roaming pathways that connect the gardens with the property’s three charming residences.
The three remodeled homes offer beautiful spaces designed with a modern farmhouse feel. Each is uniquely landscaped and tucked within the gardens to offer privacy and lovely views no matter the season.
The “Little” House (approx. 1,200 sq.ft.): This charming 2-bedroom / 1 bath home features a full kitchen with a dining area overlooking the sprawling lawn, a living room, office area, full bathroom with jet bathtub, and a master suite with fireplace and private patio off the master bedroom. Office area could easily be converted into a third bedroom. Includes washer/dryer, Propane Fireplace, Electric Heat/AC, Propane Rinnai heater, Fridge, Stove/Oven, Covered Garage
The Cottage (approx. 540 sq.ft.): This 1-bedroom / 1 full bath former dance studio exudes a bright and airy feeling with vaulted ceilings; a fully-equipped kitchen with a small dining area; a fireplace; bathroom with a stall shower; and sleeping and seating areas that open onto two private decks overlooking the gardens. Includes Propane Fireplace, Electric Heat/AC, Fridge, Stove/Oven.
Main Residence (approx. 2,080 sq.ft.) : Formerly a church and the largest of the 3 residences, with a light-drenched main living area perfect for entertaining. There are 4 bedrooms; 2 full bathrooms, one of which features a 2 sink vanity and a spa-jet bathtub; a master suite with bathroom and glass doors to a private deck overlooking the verdant gardens; an open floor plan kitchen, dining and main living area with a powerful wood-burning stove; sliding glass doors that open onto large decks overlooking the gardens. You couldn’t ask for a more ideal setting from which to enjoy one of Anderson Valley’s epic sunsets while dining al fresco. Includes washer/dryer, Woodburning Fireplace, Electric Heat/AC, Fridge, Stove/Oven, Dishwasher
The property offers many sustainable modern conveniences. The compound is powered by solar (which powers all 3 homes, well, and irrigation system); clean water comes from 3 prolific private wells; electric-powered AC and Heat in all homes; Starlink offers high-speed internet; and exterior electricity across the property to better enable outdoor living or large events.
With 2 of the 3 residences currently operating as successful short-term vacation rentals, a new owner will have turnkey income potential from day one. But Stoney Bottom is a property unique in the Anderson Valley. As its next steward, you will have the opportunity to create your own vision. Maybe your vision is a tasting room collective, or an outdoor event venue. With three separate residences, it could be a family compound or group purchase, creating an ideal neighborhood while maintaining your autonomy with stunning gardens as your backyard.
