This vacant land property is located in Kenwood, California in the heart of Sonoma County, the highly acclaimed food and wine destination. Kenwood is a small town 20 minutes south of Santa Rosa and 20 minutes north of Sonoma, with excellent schools, high speed cable, and a dozen or more of the best wineries and tasting rooms in California. This property consists of two conjoined parcels (1435 and 1441) on the most desirable road in Kenwood, leading up a beautiful canyon to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. The homesite foundation previously housed an adorable updated hillside home that burnt down in the Glass fire in September 2020. The home’s concrete and block foundation on the side of the mountain is cleaned and waiting to be redeveloped. A well, pressure tank and septic system was unharmed in the fire. The beautiful Sonoma Creek runs through the middle of the property. Directly across the creek from the homesite is a large, hand-built stone swimming pool foundation. The structure and pool were originally built right on the Creek’s edge in the early 1900’s prior to the development of the mandatory setbacks and the riparian corridor that now encompasses the property. It would be impossible to build within 50’ of the creek today. However, this home site and pool is grandfathered in, and the county reported that a new home can be rebuilt on the same site. Since the home was destroyed in the Glass fire, the property was afforded special treatment by Sonoma County’s Resilient Permit Center with expedited plan review and advisement, and reduced permit fees. An Accessory Dwelling Unit is also encouraged in the rebuild process. In the time we lived here, we regularly saw wildlife including deer, turkey, quail, crane, ducks, and even peacocks. At night, the sky is dark and clear, and the stars are bright. The neighbors on either side are the best we’ve ever had.
