6764 Giovanetti Road, Forestville, California, Sonoma County, 95436

This exceptional 4 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a private parcel of over 1/3 acre (per public record) and is surrounded by the common areas of Thomas Creek Ranch. The Thomas Creek Ranch enclave was established in the 1970s and has remained a close community. The Ranch itself comprises only a dozen homes on 80+/- acres, creating a gentle balance of seclusion and community. It is very rare for one of these residences to be offered for purchase on the open market.

Designed by architect John U. Clowdsly Jr, the style is a contemporary inspiration of nature and light. The building materials include substantial redwood beams, clear redwood paneling, exposed aggregate, slate and reclaimed wood flooring. Clad in cedar shingles, it’s unlikely this quality would be matched today. Environmentally friendly and efficient radiant heat in addition to forced air, ensure comfort throughout. A newer metal and torch down roofing system add to the quality of construction. Vistas from the floor to ceiling windows welcome daylight and stars, lifting vision and spirit.

The generous great room centers the home, merging easily with ample deck and patio spaces. A wood burning fireplace in the living room warms the hearth and the heart, while the private hot tub on the deck cooperates to soothe the body and quiet the mind.

A simple supper or an epicurean feast is a delight to prepare in the open chef’s kitchen. Explore and create with the freshest ingredients, straight from the garden. Enjoy the Wolf range, the Thermador refrigerator and ample built-in storage options. This space facilitates memorable events, small celebrations and intimate meals.

Two well separated wings off the living area provide quiet and privacy for everyone in the household. The thoughtful floor-plan allows an easy harmony of work and home life. One wing holds the primary bedroom suite which is a haven for renewal. The bathroom features a shower over a tiled Roman-style sunken tub. Built-in shelving and drawers provide plenty of storage. The oversize walk-in closet and adjacent dressing area also hold space for your wardrobe and personal treasures. A separate smaller bedroom completes this wing.

In the other wing of the home are two more bedrooms that look into the wooded surroundings. There is also an additional living area, with access to the deck, where projects, games or movie nights are a perfect fit. The second bath with double sinks adds functionality and convenience.

The spacious laundry room with a sink and more storage, plus the large attached garage offer efficient utility.

Membership in the Thomas Creek Ranch Homeowners Association brings cooperative access to the common facilities, which include a community center, swimming pool and workout space. The pond is ideal for swimming, fishing or canoeing. Cultivate and harvest the bounty of the organic community gardens and orchard. You may catch sight of whimsical art as you explore the network of hiking trails. Other possibilities include space for livestock or an art studio.

Life at 6764 Giovanetti may feel far removed from city noises and crowds, but the charming towns of Forestville and Sebastopol, with all their amenities, are close and convenient. The Sonoma coast, Russian River and many of California’s world class wineries are all nearby. This property offers an exclusive and rare chance to savor life, live in nature as you flourish in comfort and community.
