An Extraordinary Oasis for your Group, 3 units, pool/hot tub and bird sanctuary!

An Extraordinary Oasis for your Group, 3 units, pool/hot tub and bird sanctuary!
This exclusive 11.67 acre estate venue is located in Alexander Valley, the heart of wine country, just 7min from the Healdsburg Plaza. Convenient location is ideal, yet the space holds an intimate sense of privacy essential for your friends/family retreat or corporate event.
A hidden gem with a beautiful pond and open views of Alexander valley and Mt St Helena. It begins with a 2989 sf 3 bedroom/3 bath main residence, with fabulous open floorplan spills out to the heated in-ground pool area through a 22' disappearing sliding glass door. Share memories, enjoy laughs, brainstorm ideas while surrounded by the open valley, mesmerizing mountain views and bird habitat pond. The outdoor grill, hot tub, bocce court and fire pit area all round out the backyard space while still allowing for easy access to the chef's kitchen and large indoor dining area. The 2 fully furnished guest dwellings include a 1200 sf 2 bed/1 bath home in addition to a 600 sf Studio Bunkhouse- both have full kitchens.

The property also includes a barn with 3 covered horse stalls with separate tack & feed rooms provide a picturesque backdrop for your country themed event and/or practice space for workshops, classes or yoga sessions. The small pond is a bird refuge allowing for hours of bird watching; Blue Herons, Canadian Geese and Egrets are just a few of our regular visitors. When not collaborating, swimming or wine tasting, guests are invited to enjoy the Basketball court, bocce, pool table & ping pong.

This place is truly a sanctuary; photos simply can’t capture its true beauty. The house is exceptionally well-stocked and impeccably clean. Every detail and amenity is in place to ensure a fantastic time entertaining friends and family. We would love to visit again.

Our stay at the Lytton Sanctuary was fantastic. Ours was family reunion - all our adult children with spouses/significant others and 1 granddaughter, age 6. We all had a great time, enjoyed to beautiful, sprawling property and used and enjoyed all the amenities including the pool, bocci ball, ping-pong table, etc. Kitchen was very well appointed with top-of-the-line appliances and everything else we needed. We especially appreciated the privacy afforded by the 3 separate living quarters = each with its own kitchen, linens, towels, etc. Best of all was the setting - serene and scenic, with beautiful vistas and views of the surrounding hills. We didn't need much but communications with the hosts were very easy. Not inexpensive but well worth the investment.

Overall this place meets expectations for price in this area - the yard is exceptionally beautiful and the heated pool (for extra $) is well worth it for a family vacation. Where they fall short is where you’d expect a company managing a property to fall short - customer service and the little things.

When reaching out about the hot tub becoming dirty after several days' use and asking for rechlorination (no rechlorinator device in the hot tub), the agent became aggressive hostile and suggested they would ensure that I should write this review he/she would write a rebuttal suggesting we were the cause of the "dirtiness" of the hot tub and reiterated they "had never had this type of complaint before." There was some bird poop inside the house in a couple of areas but this was essentially easily cleanable, as well as a couple of old clothes from previous stays but nothing I would call "dirty." Overall, a decent stay - would avoid this company though - poor service.

Absolutely loved this home and property. Lots of activities for the whole family and so serene we barely left the property. The management team was easy to work with and always responsive. The whole family felt at ease the whole trip and although there were many places close by to visit we stayed home.

The house was gorgeous and perfect for our large group. It was wonderful to have so many bathrooms and kitchens - and space to spread out and get some quiet time. We loved the hot tub and the big main house common area. The kitchen had every tool imaginable. The property managers were incredibly responsive and helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sonoma. This home is perfect for a large family or multiple groups traveling together. We especially appreciated the bedrooms being split between three different buildings which allowed for extra privacy and relaxation. The location is absolutely perfect if you are interested in local wine tastings. You can drive 5 minutes in any direction and be at the best wineries California has to offer. There are also numerous restaurants and outdoor activities nearby. Of course you may not want to leave the house at all with the pool, hot tub, games, and large kitchen. There are incredible views outside and the property is truly pristine. The hosts have thought of everything as we were quite at home there. It's an incredible spot for a Sonoma vacation. We're so happy we stayed here!

An absolutely breathtaking place for a fun and peaceful getaway with family! The pictures do NOT do this place justice - it's truly a one of a kind property set in gorgeous surroundings.Our extended family of 10 met here to connect, relax, and enjoy the beauty that wine country has to offer. The main home itself is well appointed (every single touch has been well thought out), from the remote control shades to the gourmet kitchen to the unbelievably comfortable, adjustable beds. Each bedroom is spacious and has its own bath. The open floor plan is ideal for large groups to connect and enjoy cooking, sitting around the fire, or relaxing outdoors while viewing the mountains. Two of our couples stayed in the guesthouse and said it was perfectly appointed. The outdoor space felt like a compound to me, with ample space to walk, play basketball, and enjoy nature. I also really loved hearing the nearby roosters welcome in the morning! And while it is definitely more of a rural setting, you are only 5 minutes from Healdsburg and all the restaurants and shops it has to offer. Don't hesitate on this one - it's absolutely amazing.

Really loved our stay at the Villa. The place has a ton of child friendly amenities (high chair, kids play tables and stools, bunk bed, etc.). We had three families staying there and had plenty of room to invite some friends to come visit us as well. Great communications with the host. Really beautiful spot, and loved all three houses.

LOVED this stunning property. The view from the main house overlooking the pool and mountains was breathtaking and our family staying at the property with us shared the same feeling. We would recommend this house to families including those with kids as the property is very kid friendly (including the pool)!. The kitchen is also large with an open layout which was fantastic for times when we wanted to gather around and hang out as a group. Highly recommend!

Booked this property for my company's leadership team offsite (six of us) and it was perfect. Six bedrooms so everyone had their own room...main house is spectacularly beautiful and very, very well appointed. Three bedrooms (two are MASSIVE) each with its own bathroom. The guest house has two bedrooms and one bath...not as nice as the main home but still perfectly adequate for a comfortable night's sleep. The sixth bedroom room is in an in-law unit in a converted horse stable; it is nice but the person who slept there did complain of a lot of noise in the walls...we think it's probably either birds or something else in crawl space between the room and the stable's roof...let's call that room a bit more rustic but still very clean and nice. Highlights are the kitchen, BBQ grill, massive living room, and spectacular backyard with a pool, bocce, and one of the best valley views I've seen. No other word than spectacular. House allowed for easy group discussions, big team dinners, and space to get some quiet time away from each other. Would be perfect house for 2-3 families to share for a weekend as well...especially if you have a few older kids you can have stay in the more "rustic" in-law unit. Very responsive property management. I'd love to go back.
