With views over the Santa Cruz Mountains, this home screams tranquil country charm. But that doesn't mean it's totally remote. Downtown San Jose lies only a short drive away for you to explore, and so does San Jose Country Club for the golfing enthusiast. Apart from the stretching vistas from the balcony, we also love how bright and comfortable the space is. If you're cooking, you can pick fresh veggies from the greenhouse to enhance tried recipes. Your host can also arrange for little ones to pet piglets and other furry farm friends. With all the makings of an unforgettable family pad, you can see why this is in our collection.

The Idyllic

The host of this renovated beach hut in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea has done a stellar job in retaining the home's historical character while also ensuring it belongs well and truly in the twenty-first century. Pinewood flooring, original windows and the stone fireplace are accompanied by industrial-inspired lighting, furnishings in an angelic shade of white and pops of colour from prints hanging on the wall. At the back of the house, there's a covered porch and a terrace complete with alfresco seating and a barbecue — that's summer afternoons sorted, then. When the sun does makes an appearance — which isn't unheard of in these parts — a ten-minute walk down Ocean Avenue will get you to Carmel Beach, while there are a host of art galleries and restaurants that surround the home.

Pinewood & Prints

Petite yet perfectly equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay, this bright home in Pacifica is ready to welcome you into a blissful coastal break. With its large windows, there’s plenty of California sun that pours in creating a dazzling effect against the neutral decor that’s sprinkled with reclaimed wood. There's a harmony here between the natural world and modern sophistication to create a home that is as sleek as it is serene. The bedroom, meanwhile, is pared-yet and wonderfully comfortable, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower is a treat to wake up to each day. Our favourite spot, however, is the wraparound balcony – the ideal place to sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the mountains over a glass of wine.  Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of cute surf shops and cafes on your way to Pacifica State Beach (a ten-minute walk) – a favourite for surfers, photographers and nature enthusiasts – while San Francisco waits to be explored, just twenty minutes away by car. 


Sycamore Cove

Sitting in the middle of California's Wine Country, you might picture homes here to lie on the rustic side of things, but that couldn't be further from the truth at this address. 

Behind the sliding glass doors, guests will find an interior that is exquisitely put together – whitewashed walls are adorned with tasteful artwork, the furnishings hark back to mid-century trends, and the glossy bathrooms wouldn't look out of place in a spa. Our favourite part, however, has to be the long kitchen, finished with the sort of sleek surfaces in which you can see your own reflection.

If you're paying a visit during the warmer months, you're sure to fall for the home's plant-filled outdoor space, which, while modestly sized, offers plenty of seating on which to toast the sunset with a bottle bought from a local winery. There's even a barbecue if you want to pair it with some smoky flavours.

In local Healdsburg, you're only two blocks from the downtown area and its restaurants. The wider area is not just reserved for growing grapes, either – there are opportunities to be found for everything from hiking to biking and golfing to watersports.

Utmost Taste

Escape to the (wine) country with a stay at this stunning single-storey home, complete with its own vineyard. Vast floor-to-ceiling sliding doors reflect that life here is best lived outside, while its single-storey layout and open living spaces encourage you to spend time together inside and out. All this is only aided by your host's "take a bottle, leave a bottle" policy. 

Help yourself from the extensive selection before topping it back up with a bottle from one of several nearby vineyards. We can picture spending endless sun-soaked days sipping sauvignon blanc out on the front deck, with awe-inspiring views of the nearby mountains. Alternatively, why not share stories around the firepit as you swirl a bright pinot noir around your glass?

Good wine needs good food. Thankfully the fully kitted-out kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need to unleash your latent culinary creativity. Alternatively, there's a gas grill in the backyard for chargrilled outdoor eating. With dinner ready, gather around the three-person breakfast bar or the gorgeous wooden dining table.

On days when you don't fancy cooking, the home is just minutes from Healdsburg, the epicentre of Sonoma County's dining scene. Its vibrant downtown is dotted with a mouthwatering selection of restaurants, from celebrated chefs to innovative up-and-comers.

At the end of the day, break out a book and retreat to the quiet of the reading room, or stretch out on either of the two super king-size beds before falling into a wine-induced slumber. Remote black-out blinds ensure you can enjoy a lie-in if you need it.

Climb the Vine

Surrounded by redwoods and boasting vertiginous valley vistas, this gorgeous Guerneville home is the ultimate California crib. Featuring a fully equipped kitchen and open plan living cum dining room complete with gas fireplace – think traditional river cabin – and French doors out onto a barbecue, dining and lounging deck, not to mention a hot tub and festoon light strewn relaxation area, this stunning Sonoma County home is truly magical. 

Despite the charm of such wonderful all wooden interiors, it’s this home’s outside spaces, all enclosed within private, landscaped gardens, that really sing.  Whether you choose to laze on the sun loungers, hide out in the hot tub, or curl up on the outside sofa after a feast of barbecued delights, you’re sure to feel the power of nature’s nurturing energy as well as of the peace and quiet all around you.   

While you’ll be sorely tempted to bliss out in soothing seclusion forever, take just a short walk and you’ll reach both the banks of the Russian River, and the streets of downtown Guerneville. With canoeing, kayaking and hiking on offer, as well as flower power inspired cafes and more than fifty wineries within an approximately twenty-minute drive, you’ll be spoilt for choice deciding how to spend your downtime. 


Run Russian River Run

Nestled amongst the trees, yet a mere ten-minute stroll from downtown Mill Valley, this home serves up relaxation and convenience in equal measure. Perfect for two couples or a small family, escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life is a breeze here – although if you do need to work, there’s a dedicated space for that, too. But the cherry on the cake for us? The outdoor area, without a doubt. With a sunken hot tub and fire pit, it’s just the spot for spending time with loved ones, day and night. 

Mill Valley Marvel

Wonderfully positioned to make the most of this coastal area – this home is a nine-minute walk from Pacifica State Beach. The jagged coastline caters to a whole range of visitors, from surfers who like to ride the bay's impressive waves to photographers keen on catching the beautiful light. Or go for a hike on Shelter Cove Beach, a six-minute stroll away. There's an array of surf shops and some fantastic local eateries on your doorstep too. For a more action-packed day trip, San Francisco and all it has to offer is just a twenty-five-minute drive from this home. Chic, coastal-inspired interiors, polished concrete floors, and vast windows make it a delight to stay here. We love the vistas over Pedro Point from the living room and balcony – enjoy a glass of Californian rosé wine while enjoying the views. Later whip up a Clam Chowder in the kitchen before relaxing on the comfy sofa – this place is all about unwinding.

Willow Cove

Perched on a private ridge, we invite you to take a lungful of some of the purest air in mainland USA and step inside this charming single-storey home, which enjoys spectacular views over its 14-acre vineyard and the pristine waters of Clear Lake.

Everything about this elegantly designed building aims to accentuate the natural beauty on the doorstep. A wall of clear glass panes slides back to reveal a front-row set of six Adirondack seats where you can sit and take in the vista. This expansive wooden deck also includes an outdoor dining table and is bookended by an inviting infinity pool at one end and a Jacuzzi at the other – perfect for cooling daytime dips or sundowner soaks.

The effortless flow between the exterior and interior continues throughout the home, with a vast multipurpose space forming the nucleus around which all things entertainment, socialisation and food-related rotate. We can easily imagine an early start for a challenging hike along the trails that crisscross the nearby countryside, or a paddleboarding session out on the water, before returning home for a relaxing day by the pool with a glass of cab sav in hand, only getting up to top up your glass and grab snacks the kitchen.

A Life On the Water

Go off grid at this luxury private estate villa amid the magnificence of California’s towering Redwoods, across 120 private acres of rolling hills and verdant farmland. It's easy to see why Travel + Leisure included this Healdsburg hideaway in their  "50 Best Places to Stay" in 2021.

This luxurious hideaway combines the privacy of a luxury estate, the restorative energy of immersion in nature, and the warmth and attention to detail. Create culinary magic in a professional standard chef's kitchen, and make the most of multiple indoor and outdoor seating areas where you're free to curl up with a good book and immerse yourself in the sounds of Mother Nature, as amplified music isn't permitted outdoors. 

The property sprawls well beyond the confines of the comfortable, with outdoor sofas and a fire pit, an inviting private pool and, of course, a relaxing hammock swaying in the breeze. There are horse stables for rides through the surrounding redwood forest and you're welcome to bring your own horses and family pets along for the break if you'd like.

If you can tear yourself away from this tranquil haven, you're 4.7 miles from downtown Healdsburg – it's a 10-minute drive to all the fabulous wineries, shops and some fantastic restaurants that specialise in everything from Spanish tapas to steak frites and stunning fresh seafood. 

Sonoma Sanctuary

This beautiful home sits within 10 acres of vineyards, with views that can be admired from every angle. It’s just a five-minute drive from Healdsburg and its galleries, boutiques, and wine-tasting rooms, but it feels a million miles away. With its gated pool, hot tub, and tranquil olive grove, it has the feel of a retreat. Your host can arrange for a private chef to dazzle you and your guests, or keen home cooks can whip up feasts in the gourmet kitchen – there’s a delightful alfresco dining spot and an elegant dining table inside. You’ll have all the modern amenities you could wish for at this peaceful, luxurious escape. 

Healdsburg Heaven

Surrounded by the stunning nature of Bennett Valley, this one-acre compound is nestled between two seasonal creeks and surrounded by heritage oaks and acreage. Made up of three separate buildings with their own private outdoor spaces, this is the perfect location for large groups or multiple families to have enough room to stretch their legs while still being in close proximity to one another. Stay secluded from the outside world in your beautiful patch of Eden, while being only minutes away from fantastic local restaurants, wineries, golf, parks and shopping. Relax in the hot tub on the terrace without a care in the world or the worry of being interrupted, or sit out in one of several outdoor seating areas and dine alfresco under the California sunshine. In the evening, gather on the terrace under the outdoor lighting with drinks and discuss how to spend the coming days. There's no shortage of amenities to explore, whether you're looking to take part in sporting activities, sightseeing, or just appreciating the stunning beauty of Santa Rosa. Let this stay become your home away from home as you explore Wine Country from your own personal compound.
