When someone asks if you’d like to go see a house in ‘rural’ Sonoma County, you may decline the invitation because you don’t want to see cows, chicken coops, or a barn. However, this estate in Sonoma County proves that these preconceived notions can be totally, absolutely, wrong.

This sprawling Sebastopol estate covers over 25 acres, has two residences, a private lake, hobby golf course, a tennis court, and a chicken coop. The chicken coop may seem like it was thrown in as an afterthought, but if you’ve ever had farm-fresh eggs, you know it’s a plus.

However, this estate wasn’t always a private home. Once called Robertson House, it’s been a wedding venue, VRBO, and a rental house. The next homeowners could choose to use it as their own private home while still renting the second residence out without feeling crowded. Besides all the extras (tennis, anyone?) the main house is stunning – inside and out. Casual Spanish tile flooring and custom woodwork is found throughout, while the landscape creates the feeling you’re living in your own secluded getaway.
