Located less than 2 miles from downtown Forestville and approximately one hour from the Golden Gate bridge, this spacious country house is centrally located between the lower Russian River with its many recreational options and the vineyards and wineries of the Russian River and Green Valley AVAs. Other Sonoma County AVAs, the Pacific Ocean, and Sebastopol are all within a 30-minute drive. After a day of exploring all that West Sonoma County has to offer and perhaps visiting a farmer's market to obtain locally-grown ingredients, relax poolside and enjoy your own home-cooked meal using the facilities of this home's spacious, gourmet Kitchen. Besides the Poolside Patio, there's an upper Back Deck adjacent to the Kitchen overlooking the pool where you can prepare a BBQ meal using the Weber propane grill. There also is a Hillside Patio on the far side of the pool, as well as another Patio in the Front Yard. All the recreational facilities on the property make the Wine Country Hideaway ideal for family or friend gatherings. In addition to the onsite swimming pool, the property has a Bocce Ball Court, a half-court Basketball Hoop and a full badminton court. Or just relax on one of the two Balconies overlooking the Front Yard, with a view of the unspoiled vistas. The interior amenities include two Master Bedroom suites, one with a Balcony overlooking the Front Yard, a king-size bed, a stone-lined stall shower, and a luxurious jetted bathtub; the other opening onto the Front Patio with a queen-size bed and a full on-suite Bathroom. The third and fourth Bedrooms both contain queen-size beds and share a common, third Bathroom. The downstairs Family Room features a 42in. flat-screen HDTV with DirecTV satellite service. The upstairs Living Room features a wood-burning fireplace, a 52in. flat-screen HDTV also with DirectTV service, a Balcony overlooking the Front Yard, and a Dining Area adjacent to the Kitchen. Furnished with many modern conveniences in a peaceful, rural setting, your Wine Country Hideaway truly "has it all"! Please Note: The Swimming Pool is solar-heated only between April 1 and October 31 annually. Since there is no backup heater, Mother Nature is the sole arbitrator of water temperatures. Two HDTVs with DirecTV satellite service, DSL high-speed Internet with Wi-Fi, fully-stocked Kitchen, Weber gas BBQ grill, several Patio areas, and a solar-heated swimming pool make entertainment and staying in touch easy. Sleeps 8 (including all children age 3 and over) in 1 king-size bed and 3 queen-size beds. The maximum daytime occupancy also is 8. Off-street parking for 3 vehicles. Sorry, but no pets and no smoking, indoors or outdoors.
