About this property

Still Light Pond Mini Country Estate

A glorious, picturesque mini estate with fishing and boating pond, redwood grove, orchard, and hiking trails, all set in a private sunny meadow. As featured in Sunset magazine, a gourmet, oversized country kitchen, antique mantle on wood burning fireplace and Parisian antiques complete the feeling of elegance and serenity. Step outside to a cozy covered porch with upholstered wicker furniture and large entertaining deck with hot tub and a view that takes your breath away. The house is adjacent to a 80 acre vineyard and features surround sound throughout the house with a high end Denon stereo system for auxiliary input devices.

In counterpoint and worthy of Architectural Digest is the new modern master bedroom with Italian metal windows in wonderful contrast to the first growth redwood floors salvaged from a local Sonoma County Barn. Oversized beams that support the suspended ceiling and asymmetrical skylight creates the feeling that you are sleeping in a Redwood Grove in a W hotel setting. All this faces onto the pond, enormous redwoods and bathed in full sun. Fireplace, bath and separate shower, plus awarding-winning designer touches.

Beautiful Hideaway!
Wonderful place to get away from the city and decompress. The house and grounds were beautiful and well equipped. We enjoyed our family Thanksgiving in this cozy home.

Very special spot
This is such an adorable house and property. So many nice touches and truly a lovely retreat, inside and out. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, which was great for sound privacy for our work calls. The house is close to the road, so you can hear cars drive by, but with all the other incredible features of the house it doesn't matter all that much. (And we are extra sensitive to sound in general.) Would love to stay there again. Truly a wonderful spot.

Enjoyed our stay!
Sue’s place is even more beautiful than the pictures! It was a truly lovely respite for our family. The hosts were very responsive, communicative and warm. The house was comfortably furnished and it was such a joy being able to have our dog Gracie with us., we can’t wait for future opportunities to visit this beautiful place.

Host profile image
Hi everyone. Nice to meet you. We are John + Sue. John’s from Pittsburgh PA owns a sales consultancy focusing on craft ice, craft beer and spirits and Sue is a local Bay Area native doing marketing communication consulting for organic food and beverage and wellness endeavors. We love hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking and exploring places near and far.

Why they chose this property

When we stepped onto the property we had that ‘feeling’ that this place was special. The light, the views, the serenity and calm definitely spoke to us. There is truly a magical quality about Still Light Pond. From the private redwood grove with seasonal creek, to fishing in a corner of the pond, the stillness of the light, hiking trails, watching the birds from herons to egrets, all within a restored farmhouse property. It was love at first sight.

What makes this property unique

Whether you are looking for a relaxing retreat or discovery weekend of all the area has to offer-- wine tasting for world class pinots, organic/local food, canoeing or kayaking down the Russian River, golfing 20 minutes away in Bodega Bay or hiking or cycling the great backroads and trails; the location will amaze you for its close proximity to so many diverse areas. It’s only a few miles from Russian River, 6 mi from the coast, close to Bodega Bay and Tomales Bay, a little further out. Wine tasting, hiking, cycling and kayaking are our favorite activities, come enjoy them all here at Still Light Pond.
