1311 W Dry Creek Road

Description

Privately set behind a gate at the end of a quiet lane, 66.73± acres unfold as a rare sanctuary in Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley. Spanning two separate parcels, the property offers unmatched privacy and exceptional potential, blending pristine natural beauty with thoughtfully installed infrastructure that sets the stage for an estate of distinction.
The land is alive with seasonal creeks, and virgin forests of heritage oaks, madrones, and firs. Trails wind through sunlit clearings and shaded groves, offering a profound sense of tranquility and connection to nature. An established road system extends from the entry gate to the cottage and throughout the property, providing seamless access to both of the premier building sites.

A charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with loft is nestled beside a seasonal creek, surrounded by gardens and fruit trees. Across the lawn, a spacious studio with half bath provides a flexible retreat, ideal for guests, extended family, or as an inspiring space for art and yoga. A dedicated storage area, thoughtfully attached, enhances convenience and function. These spaces provide immediate enjoyment while envisioning the property’s larger potential.

Two exceptional building sites define the opportunity: a commanding hilltop with panoramic vistas across Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and the mountains beyond, and a secluded meadow embraced by sunlight and trees, offering quiet intimacy. With a five-bedroom septic system already installed, along with mountain spring-fed water, extensive water storage, and advanced filtration, the groundwork is in place for a world-class estate.

Just minutes from downtown Healdsburg yet a world apart in solitude, 1311 West Dry Creek Road offers a rare chance to create a lasting legacy in the heart of Sonoma wine country. Whether imagined as a landmark estate, private compound, or nature-rich retreat, this property provides the scale, infrastructure, and natural setting to bring that vision to life.
