The Vintner

Explore Sonoma Wine Country from this lavish home in Healdsburg. Despite its small-town charm, this city is anything but sleepy. Proudly perched at the intersection of three esteemed wine-growing regions, Healdsburg is a paradise for connoisseurs of the good stuff. It also boasts a thriving foodie scene, with ample eateries championing the region’s farm-to-table movement. Here, you're a short drive from ample wineries, while San Francisco is just over an hour away by car.

You’ll find this home in Downtown Healdsburg, just two blocks away from the city’s nineteenth-century central plaza, lined with Michelin-starred restaurants, artisan bakeries, art galleries and local wine bars. With its striking monochromatic exterior, this home impresses from the offset. Inside, the black-and-white colour palette is echoed through stylish decor, while floor-to-ceiling windows invite sunlight to flood the space.

We love the open-plan ground floor, boasting a cosy lounge, chic dining area and sleek kitchen, dressed to the nines with modern amenities. Spend mornings gathered around the marble-topped breakfast bar for coffee before stepping onto the sun-soaked courtyard. Spend your days here, catching rays and cooling down in the private pool. Come sunset, return here for a cookout prepared in the outdoor kitchen, washed down with a bottle of local wine, naturally.
