The 10-acre Feliz Creek Retreat successfully marries country serenity with small-town convenience and wine-country sophistication. Set about 10 minutes outside the bucolic hamlet of Hopland. The Retreat is approached along a quiet country lane that winds itself through rows of endless vineyards, creeks, and oak woodland, all encased and protected by a backdrop of towering hillsides. Arriving on the Retreat's landscaped and tidy grounds, one is taken aback by the peacefulness of the setting—solace only broken by the winds through the surrounding ancient oaks.
Entering the understated 2700 Sq. Ft. 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house, functionality seems to be the underlying theme—a utilitarianism appropriate to its rural setting, though by no means an impediment to the new occupants' imagination. The vaulted ceilings and overall open floor plan give a real sense of spaciousness that will serve as a sprawling canvas for the new owner.
All inspections have been completed. The house has been professionally cleaned, and any apparent issues have been addressed. All appliances and heating and cooling are electric and in good working order. There is also an impressive Fischer Wood Stove. A new septic system was recently installed. Water is provided by a 30 GPM well, which is fed through a reverse osmosis filter and a Culligan Water Softener.
The attached two-car garage is in impeccable condition and was finished inside by the previous occupants to serve as a family "Game Room." The rear house has a pump house and storage shed for the water pressure system. Both the front and rear yards are fenced and landscaped.
The remaining 9+ acres of useable level grounds could serve various purposes, including a vineyard and orchard tract, a large production vegetable garden, an equestrian arena and corral, livestock pens, an event venue, etc. With adequate water-useable ground and the ambition to make things happen, the options for the Feliz Creek Retreat are endless.
