The stunning villa then bursts into view, surrounded by the terraced vineyards, manicured lawns, exotic plants, and beautiful gardens. Soaring palms gently sway in the breeze. Privacy is absolute; not a single automobile can be heard in the distance, and yet the estate’s entrance is just a mile from world-class dining and wineries. The centerpiece of the living areas is the Main House, under 20-foot beamed ceilings. It features the principal suite, two other bedrooms, a dining room more than 250 square feet in size that seats 10-14 with ease, a 560-square-foot living room (under skylights, with a wood-burning fireplace to ward off winter chill), and refinished decks and terraces that look in every direction.

Spanning approximately 29+/- acres of pristine Sonoma County terrain in the heart of Franz Valley, this extraordinary estate parcel carries nearly a century of family stewardship within its redwood groves, stream corridors, and sun-dappled clearings. Offered for the first time in 90 years, this is not simply land, it is a living chapter of California history, now ready for its next. Set north of Franz Valley School Road in unincorporated Sonoma County, the property is a masterwork of natural California landscape, redwoods, seasonal streams, and rich woodland canopy that rewards the patient observer at every turn. The terrain is varied and compelling, offering both serene, sheltered pockets and elevated vantage points that survey the broader valley. A functioning water well, hen house, and three bridges are among the improvements on the property, complemented by decades of thoughtful land care by the owning family. In 1936, a German immigrant family purchased this Franz Valley parcel, then 85 acres, for $800 at the height of the Great Depression. They saw in this land what they had loved in their native Odenwald forest of Germany: a place that could shelter, sustain, and restore. What followed was not development in the conventional sense, but devotion three generations of a family that camped, cleared, and cultivated here across nearly a century. The second generation carried that same passion into the 1960s and beyond, eventually making the property a full-time home, living quietly beside its streams and redwoods for over three decades. Now, with no heirs to pass it to, the family has made the thoughtful decision to offer it forward with the sincere hope that its next stewards will love it as deeply and perhaps write another 90-year chapter of their own. Properties like this do not come to market. Nearly a century of single-family ownership has preserved this land in a way that no conventional transaction could replicate, its integrity is in the soil, the trees, the streams, and the story. Whether as a private retreat, a legacy holding, a vineyard development opportunity, or a sanctuary for the land-minded buyer, 9501 Franz Valley School Road offers something genuinely rare: acreage with a soul. The property has a functioning and recently test well producing 9GPM.

6501 Ellen Lane is not simply a home. It is a legacy and a celebration of connection, time shared with family and friends, and the moments that matter most. Exquisitely designed and handcrafted with purpose, this property reflects the belief that a home should welcome those we love, celebrate life and stand the test of time. Here, life unfolds in extraordinary ways. A secluded pool and spa, tiki pool house, outdoor kitchen, bar and fireplace invite bare feet and wet bathing suits, long lunches, impromptu cocktails and dinners by the fire. A beautifully appointed equestrian barn with two oversized stalls opens to a picturesque white fenced pasture. Slip onto your horse bareback in the soft morning light, or settle onto the pasture swing and watch your favorite companion graze as the day grows quiet. Water brings its own magic. A lake edged in soft water grasses, with a waterfall, dock, covered sitting area with swing and little rowboat, invites you to slow down. Along the property's edge, Green Valley creek adds its own quiet rhythm to the landscape. As evening falls, pour a glass of wine and watch the sunset reflected across the lake. Tucked among the redwood trees, a whimsical suspended treehouse offers a secret place to climb, dream and rediscover the magic of being a kid, no matter your age. And then there is the wine. A hand-planted boutique vineyard of Petite Sirah and Sangiovese, private crush pad and wine processing room let you experience winemaking from vine to glass. Create your own vintage, then tuck it away in the custom stone wine cellar beneath the home, with room for approximately 90 cases including bottles collected through travels and celebrations along the way. A detached 5 car garage and workshop offers room to build, restore, create and pursue whatever passion calls you in, with potential for future guest accommodations. At the heart of it all is the home itself, warm, welcoming and remarkably personal. Designed and built by its owners with their own hands alongside friends and family, its craftsmanship lives in the handmade cabinetry and foyer chandelier, solid vertical-grain Douglas fir floors and thoughtful details. For all that surrounds you here, the house still simply feels like home. What awaits at 6501 Ellen Lane is a rare opportunity to make something already extraordinary entirely your own and to become the next steward of a truly remarkable legacy estate. Some opportunities come along once. This may very well be one of them.
