12320 Manzanita Ln, Glen Ellen, CA has Sonoma Valley Views! The Price is awesome at $699,000 for over 2 acres. This home has such a great feel to it. I was just up there, the other day, talking with the owners and sitting in the sun on the deck, when an agent from San Francisco came up to view it. We walked all over the two acre hill top parcel and discussed all the possiblities for this property. It would make a great Wine Country get-away! The original owners of 35 years, have meticulously maintained it and the home is move in ready! There is also, a bonus room with separate entrance and 1/2 bath and a workshop. RV parking and lots of viewing areas to see the valley below. These current owners are getting on in their lives and would like to move closer to the family. OK, all you buyers out there...come see this place, it's awesome! Directions: Hwy 12 south to Left on Trinity Rd ( only 1.7 miles up ) , then R. on Manzanita Ln. There are only four other homes on this cul-de-sac with views out the the west, Sonoma Mountain, Santa Rosa and the Kenwood Valley to look at. Or visit www.12320manzanitaln.com for more photos. Or call me, the Kenwood Real Estate Girl for a showing at 707-481-5025. Thanks for looking!

Hot August nights???

Check out this photo of a WARM summer day in Kenwood, California's Wine Country! I miss this.... because
tonight the fog is rolling in over the Annadel State Park mountains into the Kenwood Valley and it is sooo cold! Where did the summer go?? The temperatures have not been normal for August this year and highs are only into the mid- 70's. It's so cold, I am already thinking far ahead to Christmas and deciding, whose turn is it, anyway to host the family dinner?!
My two grown children are married and out of the area. Sarah & Thad in Arizona and Austin & Brooke, in San Diego....So, who will be coming home? Or will we be going to whom? This is the only time I wish everyone lived really close, so we didn't have these decisions.
Maybe I should buy them all a Wine Country home right here in Kenwood. Then we could all be neighbors! A big family compound, now that would be fun. Let's see, I could but the home at 12320 Manzanita Ln in Glen Ellen. ( www.12320manzanitaln.com ) Only a short drive up Trinity Rd 1.5 miles with gorgeous views! It's a wonderful two bedroom on 2 acres with views of the Sonoma Valley for $699,000! Or I could buy 8771 Egg Farm Rd in Kenwood, a three bedroom on 2.5 acres with horse barn and views, right next to Chateau St Jean Winery for $1,245,000! There are so many properties for sale in the area I will have a hard decision to make.

I just sold a great home on the golf course in the retirement community of Oakmont. This was a beautifully remodeled Juniper model with Tuscan wall finishes. Everyone loved it who walked in. It was a fairly quick sale ( 45 days). My seller accepted the first offer (at my suggestion) as the first offer usually is the best offer. There are few buyers out there and so many properties to choose from. As a Sonoma Valley Realtor, I say grab that first buyer when they are interested and make a deal!
So, anyone interested in buying some Sonoma Wine Country real estate, give me a call!
