Welcome to Kenwood Farmhouse where you will find a pair of idyllic craftsman-style cottages set on a stunning 1.1-acre +/- parcel in the heart of Kenwood’s wine country. Upon entering the main cottage, you'll be drawn through the vaulted-ceiling living room to the views over your pool and hobby Malbec vineyard to Sugarloaf Mountain. The one-bedroom main cottage features an ensuite bedroom, a kitchen with island, dining area and living room – all with views to the front and rear. In the second cottage, your lucky guests will swing open the carriage house doors and enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise begin to filter light into the valley. As evening comes, enjoy the deck overlooking your solar heated pool where the adjacent outdoor kitchen with bar is perfect for entertaining friends before retiring to the bocce ball court for a bit of evening competition. Imagine ending the day in your hot tub beneath the olive trees or around the fire pit – all options at the Kenwood Farmhouse. Last, don’t miss the workshop at the rear of the property or the raised and irrigated vegetable bed. This home is offered completely furnished, providing a turnkey weekend home.
It is rare to find such a special place where you can enjoy weekends in your fully furnished retreat while you contemplate building your George Bevan-designed wine country home. Plans for both a new residence that preserves the main cottage as a guest house/ADU or a substantial renovation and expansion of the existing cottages gives you two thoughtful ways to make this an elegant, 4-bedroom wine country home. Select between the two designs which await your final touches before engineering, permitting and beginning to build. You start with a level lot, municipal water from the Kenwood Village Water Company (including a fire hydrant on your drive), an approved 4-bedroom mound septic system and ample underground power coming to the property.
In addition to your own hobby vineyard that produces around a barrel of wine each year, you have the benefit of owning a portion of a commercial Malbec vineyard currently managed by Geib Ranch. Approximately one-third of your 1.1 acre parcel is comprised of the commercial vineyard with this portion of your parcel presently taxed at an attractive agricultural rate. Your dream has come true in the Valley of the Moon.
