The property


Situated in the hills above historic Sonoma Plaza, this 20-acre property included a collection of barns, horse stables, a one-story ranch house, and separate guest house dating to the 1930s (one of the oldest ranches in Sonoma County).

The new owners of the property wanted to retain some of the intrinsic rustic charms but overlay some modern interior design ideas, requiring a larger, updated home for their growing young family and relatives. The new, two-story modern farmhouse occupies the original home site and is nestled into the hill, preserving a Redwood grove and mountain-fed stream running through the property.

All rooms orient towards the majestic valley view and open to the wrap-around porches encompassing the first-floor living areas, which provide deep shade from the southern exposure. A distant view of San Pablo Bay and San Francisco are visible on a clear day from the balcony off the Master Bedroom.

The existing swimming pool was connected to the house more directly by relocating the driveway to the detached garage behind the home. The client requested pieces with rustic charm, and the scheme was created by Anyon Interior Design.

Living room


There is a pleasing symmetry to the placement of the modern furniture in the living room, and orderliness that comes from the double sofas and double chairs.
