Close to Plaza/15 Acre Estate/Swimming Pool and Bocce Ball

Mill Creek Estate is an exceptional Vineyard Estate located in the heart of the Sonoma Wine Country near the quaint town of Healdsburg and less than 6 minutes from the historic, upscale, and charming Downtown Plaza. The property consists of a main house and adjacent studio suite situated within an oak covered 15 acre setting. The gated property is nestled in the Sonoma foothills just west of town with views that are truly magnificent. From every direction one will see either intense natural beauty or miles of breathtaking gorgeous scenery. If extreme privacy is what you enjoy this is the place for your wine country vacation experience.

From Mill Creek Road, you will turn up a country lane which winds through an Oak covered forest across the gated 15 acre site to your doorstep. Reminiscent of homes built in early California, this 4 bedroom Estate has lots of exterior and interior stonework providing the perfect marriage of old world country charm and a casual, elegant California lifestyle. The living structures are tucked sensitively into the landscape under a canopy of trees which includes mature 100-year-old oaks. Designed for gracious country living, inside you will find walls of luxurious Venetian plaster, vaulted and cathedral ceilings, wood and limestone flooring and abundant windows throughout the house. The views from inside the house are as breathtaking as the views from outside. Beyond the double door entry and unique walk through gallery you will step into the kitchen and breakfast nook area. Adjacent is a separate dining room adding an air of formality to the dining experience. Around the corner are more French Doors that open onto an arbor covered terrace – perfect spot for dessert and port. The kitchen leads to an outside terrace for delightful alfresco breakfasts.

All 4 bedrooms have the convenience of having their own full bathroom, private outside terrace, and access via separate entry ensuring that each guest will have a private experience. The main house has 2 En Suite Master Bedrooms with King Size beds, satellite HDTV/DVR, and double French doors leading to an outside terrace. The secondary bedroom has a queen size bed with double French doors that lead to their own outside terrace. The adjacent studio suite also has a separate entry and patio terrace, sleeps 4 with a queen size bed and a very comfortable queen size futon sofa bed, HDTV and DVR and a large walk in closet.

The Living Room is the Family/Entertainment area with exposed wood beam vaulted ceilings, and double French Doors on both sides framing a view of the large infinity edge swimming pool and the magnificent Sonoma Foothills beyond. The room features oversize sofas and chairs, and a built in entertainment area with a Sony 46” HDTV and HD/DVR receiver w/surround speaker system. All in all there is a total of 5 HD TV’s with HD/DVR receivers throughout the house. The built in cabinetry houses a mini bar, sink, wine storage cooler, refrigerator and ice maker to serve all your casual entertainment needs. Forming the centerpiece of the room is a large fireplace providing added warmth and comfort on a cool winter’s evening.

Day time and night time activities will usually be centered around the heated 50 foot long infinity edge swimming pool and hot tub located just off the Living Room’s double French doors which slide open creating an easy ebb and flow between indoors and out. Other activities can include bocce ball contests and gaming, croquet matches on the spacious lawn areas. The newly constructed poolside pergola with extensive outdoor lighting allows all those fun activities to continue into the after dark hours.
For the more active you will be ideally located for a hiking and or biking adventure or wandering through our 2 acre Pinot Noir Vineyard.

Mill Creek Vineyard Estate is the perfect place for family and friends to gather in a relaxing atmosphere of comfort and serenity. Surrounded by spacious terraces and lawn covered areas, this is the ideal vacation home for those who cherish the outdoors. With most rooms opening onto an outside terrace you’re never more than a step away from natural serenity. With the wisteria covered Arbor and many other sitting areas to choose from, you will find just the right spot to savor a spectacular sunset, read in the afternoon sun or enjoy a candlelight dinner on a warm summer’s evening.

Great views good times
The house was well appointed for three couples. The Kaseeta was perfect for the fourth couple. We enjoyed the pool, spa, bocce court, views, we will return the next time we are in Sonoma county.

Spectacular setting for a family gathering
For the second year in a row our large extended family (ages ranging from 15 to 77) spent a week at the end of June at this amazing property on a beautiful Sonoma County mountaintop. Quiet, private, set in the trees high on a hill away from it all. We swam, played bocce ball and croquet, took turns cooking delicious family dinners and enjoyed each other. The property is remarkable for the private spaces that let couples get off on their own, including the studio and the cool Airstream option. The family is unanimous - we'll be coming back again next year.

A dreamy girls weekend
Our group of eleven women had a fantastic weekend at this home celebrating a bachelorette. We definitely needed the air mattresses to accommodate that number of adults, but we were all comfortable in the end. The ground are absolutely stunning and it was hard to tear ourselves away from the hot tub and relaxing patio to explore Healdsburg. Don was very responsive and it was helpful to have him nearby. We cooked in for most meals and the kitchen was well stocked. A few things to be aware of if you are visiting this home without a car: make sure you give any deliveries or ride pickups the gate code as cell service can be spotty and there is no gate buzzer. The trash bins are also down the road a ways so plan ahead to transport trash on checkout.

Beautiful but Overpriced
The outdoor space is really beautiful but the indoor had a lot to be desired. It clearly used to be a beautiful home but the upkeep is lacking. Don was quick to respond, was communicative, and was great to accommodate early check in. But we had so many issues that 3 of our party left early to stay at a hotel because there was nowhere to sleep. We were a group of 9 adults and 3 kids, and this place accommodates 7-8 comfortably and if you want to fit more in, bring your own stuff. They offer air mattresses but 3 of the 4 had holes in them and we couldn’t use them so people had to squeeze in and sleep on the couch. Don’t expect the use of the airstream in the photos, that’s not included. Also, no two people can shower at the same time because the moment someone turns on another faucet while you’re showering, the water goes ice cold. They charge you a really expensive cleaning fee but have a long list of cleaning rules so we spent a good 2-3 hours making sure we tried to clean it but the pool, coffee machine, microwave were dirty when we arrived and we had to clean them. For the amount we paid a night you expect a really nice experience - not one where you have to buy toilet paper from your first night. I’m not trying to hate on their property because despite this it’s beautiful, but this could’ve been a great stay but it’s way overpriced and we didn’t feel we got our value for money.

Women's Weekend in Healdsburg
I cannot recommend this property and its owners more. We had a wonderful weekend relaxing by the pool, feeling secluded from the world but yet still close to all the greatest wineries and downtown. Don is so response and helpful and we appreciated his assistance getting settled and leading up to the weekend. It is THE best place to stay in the area, hands down!
