About this property

Luxury Ranch Estate, Sleeps 18, 730 Acres, Sonoma Redwoods

Perfect for weddings and elopements, corporate retreats, family reunions, wellness retreats, and milestone celebrations. Forest Villa hosts its own signature events and is fully equipped to support yours. Whether you're gathering 8 or 18, the estate adapts to your vision.

Nestled within 730 acres of ancient redwood forest and rolling hills in Cazadero, West Sonoma County, Forest Villa is one of California's most extraordinary private estates — a solar-powered sanctuary where breathtaking natural beauty meets architectural grandeur.

The Manor House is a masterwork of craftsmanship. Soaring vaulted ceilings, artist-made clay walls, hand-hewn timber beams, and an octagonal glass atrium blur the line between inside and out. Six fireplaces throughout the home create an atmosphere of warmth and seclusion no matter the season, with stunning views of Austin Creek State Recreation Area at every turn.

The crown jewel of the Manor House is an octagonal all-glass conservatory housing a sunken jacuzzi — a one-of-a-kind architectural space where you soak surrounded by forest views through floor-to-ceiling windows and a soaring glass ceiling. A wood-burning fireplace completes this private sanctuary. A saltwater wading pool just outside offers a unique forest bathing experience.

The home accommodates up to 18 guests across 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms: a master king suite, 3 queen bedrooms, a two-twin bedroom, and The Bunkhouse with 8 twin beds — ideal for kids, teens, or larger groups. Every bedroom is thoughtfully appointed for comfort and privacy.

The professional-grade kitchen is built to host. With full commercial capacity, a pellet grill, and modern appliances throughout, it's a chef's dream. The formal dining room seats the full group of 18, with additional capacity for larger gatherings — perfect for wedding dinners, holiday feasts, or corporate events.

Step outside and 730 acres open up before you. Explore old-growth redwood groves, open meadows, and miles of private trails. Encounter our resident Watusi cattle and horses roaming freely across the land. Multiple wood-burning fire pits invite evenings under some of the darkest skies in Northern California — ideal for stargazing with zero light pollution and no neighbors in sight. The entire property runs on solar power — off-grid luxury at its most intentional.

Additional amenities include a billiards room, high-speed WiFi throughout the Manor House, and multiple indoor and outdoor entertainment areas.

Cazadero, CA — 90 minutes from San Francisco, 75 minutes from Santa Rosa, 30 minutes from Guerneville and the Russian River. Near the Sonoma Coast, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, and world-class wineries including Korbel Champagne Cellars and Martin Ray Vineyards.

About the host

Hosted by Frank Sergi

Host profile image
We're hosts, not a rental company. We built this property to be the kind of place we'd want to stay ourselves — beautifully designed, genuinely private, and run with care. We're reachable when you need us and happy to share the local knowledge that makes a trip memorable. Our goal is simple: make your stay feel effortless from the moment you book.

Why they chose this property


Cazadero is Sonoma County's best-kept secret. Tucked into the redwoods between the Russian River and the coast, it offers something the rest of wine country can't — true silence, ancient forest, and starry skies you don't get anywhere near a city. Healdsburg, Guerneville, and the Pacific are all a short drive, but out here you're genuinely off the grid.

What makes this property unique

A six-bedroom architectural estate on private acreage in the redwoods. Pool, spa, and outdoor living designed around the setting. Generous spaces for entertaining, complete privacy from neighbors, and a home built to make the most of both the views and the quiet. It's a destination in itself — not just a place to sleep between winery visits.
