Features

Location

This one of a kind 160 acre sanctuary is at the intersection of the Pacific Coast and Mendocino’s Anderson Valley, 2.5 hours north of San Francisco. 

The Land is both private and secluded, yet easily accessible from Highway 128 near Boonville, CA with a code controlled gate, 2 minutes off the main road. Guests are greeted by a state-of-the-art steel bridge that guides them onto the property. 

Boonville, a small town located in the heart of Anderson Valley, is known for its charming rural atmosphere, numerous vineyards and  unique character. The Land is conveniently located less than 15 minutes away from the small and scenic Boonville Airport, and 45 minutes from Ukiah Municipal Airport, a small regional hub offering general aviation services and providing access to the scenic landscapes of Mendocino County.

Anderson Valley: Where Culinary Excellence Meets Artistic Inspiration

Anderson Valley’s food and wine culture is a rich mosaic of sustainable farming, artisanal skill, and innovative cuisine, all deeply entwined with a strong sense of community. At Pennyroyal Farm, guests are treated to estate-crafted wines and cheeses made from the farm’s own goats and sheep, exemplifying a true farm-to-table ethos.

The iconic Boonville Hotel, helmed by Chef Perry Hoffman, presents seasonal menus that honor the region’s agricultural heritage. This culinary philosophy continues the vision of Sally Schmitt, the trailblazing founder of The French Laundry, who later infused her passion into the Boonville Hotel and nearby Apple Farm.

For those seeking artisan-made home goods, Farmhouse Mercantile offers a curated selection of local crafts and products. Meanwhile, Filigreen Farm invites visitors into its biodynamic orchards, and Velma's Farm Stand provides direct access to the fruits of regenerative agriculture.

Dining options continue to impress: Offspring Wood Fired Pizza, a Boonville Hotel offshoot, serves up inventive pizzas and handmade pastas in a laid-back setting. The Boonville Distillery pairs small-batch spirits with elevated American dishes, while SŌBŌ Sake Bar adds a distinctive touch with sushi, small plates, and premium sake.

Wine enthusiasts will find much to explore, from the acclaimed Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of Baxter Winery to Navarro Vineyards’ celebrated estate wines and refreshing non-alcoholic grape juices.

Just a 45-minute drive away, downtown Mendocino offers a coastal culinary gem in the Michelin-starred Harbor House, which delivers a sophisticated dining experience that beautifully complements Anderson Valley’s rustic elegance.

Other features in Boonville include Paysanne, the Booneville General Store, Domaine Anderson Winery and Goldeneye Winery.

A Hidden Retreat for Visionaries and Creatives

Beyond its culinary prestige, Anderson Valley has quietly evolved into a sanctuary for creatives and cultural icons. Notable property owners include author Alice Walker, and entrepreneurs Jeff Skoll and Larry Ellison. Novelist and screenwriter Robert Mailer Anderson, whose satirical work Boonville is set in the town, is also a local resident.

The valley was once home to René Auberjonois, the Emmy-nominated actor known for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Boston Legal, and it continues to attract luminaries like award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank.

Their presence underscores the valley’s magnetic appeal; not only for gourmets and vintners, but also for artists, writers, and visionaries seeking inspiration in its peaceful, pastoral landscapes.
