Magnificent Estate, Vineyard Views, Pool and Spa - Sonoma Valley Farm Stay

The Haywood Vineyards Estate Manor House , pool and spa - is a licensed member of Sonoma County's Farm Stay Program

AN UNPARALLELED WINE ESTATE. THE ONE OF A KIND HANDCRAFTED STONE AND TIMBER HOME AND BEAUTIFUL NEW POOL AND SPA HAVE SWEEPING VINEYARD VIEWS.

The Haywood Vineyard’s handcrafted stone and timber Manor House sits atop a knoll, embracing vineyard views and sunsets. The Manor House offers visitors an intimate insight into the world of vineyard operations.

Completely private, yet a mere 1.5 miles from historic Sonoma Plaza, the location is incomparable. The Plaza, with expansive lawns and century old trees, is surrounded by historic buildings, restaurants, tasting rooms, and shops.

The one-of-a kind Manor House features four en-suite bedrooms: Two kings, one queen and one twin with two beds. Additional sleeping spaces include a twin room, a TV room with a queen sofa bed, and a window seat that serves as sleeping space for children. The king master suites are located both on first and second floors. A powder room is located on the first floor.

Arrival and Sense of Place

Trees canopy the scenic, serene country road that winds through vineyards to reach The Manor House. The artisan crafted home is built of stone carved from the Haywood Winery grounds and hand cut by Portuguese and Mexican masons on site. It is an integral part of the landscape and feels as though it has sprung from the earth. The expansive yet warm, intimate home commands sweeping views of Los Chamisal Vineyards. Grapevines grow from the valley floor up and around embracing hillsides. Oak studded hilltops frame views.


The Manor House Today and How it Came to Be

A building saga that spanned nearly three decades, the Manor House emerged as a state-of-the-art four bedroom, four and one half-bath home, with features that recall times past including a soaring two story stone fireplace in the living dining area, and cozy dining area in the professional well-equipped kitchen. Architect Ivan Poutiatinem, who oversaw the project, inspired the counter level kitchen fireplace, one of his signature features. Three steps up from the sunken living area, the first level includes a master suite, queen suite, television room, powder room and laundry room. The staircase, a masterpiece unto itself, features hand built quarter sawn vertical grain fir railing. The climb to the second floor reveals views of the home’s astounding stonework, woodwork, artwork and furnishings. On the top floor, you’ll find the primary, master suite, the double twin suite, the twin room, and the window seat.

The Manor House took form through the artisanal hands of craftsmen from Portugal, Mexico and Sonoma. The first mammoth stones, forming the basement and one half of its first floor, were chiseled and placed by the master Portuguese craftsman, Ferranco Viara. With his passing, the project was silenced for nearly twenty years. Often taken as the ruins of an old winery it served as a set for commercials and the movie, Walk in the Clouds, and has been traversed by such cinematic greats as the late Anthony Quinn and Keanu Reeves.

Building code restrictions changed over time disallowing traditional stone construction. The determined Haywoods spent two years convincing County officials that a home built entirely of stone could be not only be earthquake proof, but could surpass any current building standards. Massive timbers tie the house together and concrete support structures veneered with stone support two corners, giving it the strength of a fortress.

Peter and Maggie Haywood assembled a new crew of craftsman and in the year 2000 the house began to grow again. The second generation of stonework melds beautifully with the original. Masons crafted the remainder of the 4900 square foot home, the living area’s two-story fireplace and innovative touches throughout such as the Neptune fountain near the massive front door. Local builder, Todd Summers, crafted the front door, staircase, window seats and stunning woodwork throughout the Manor House.

Knotty alder floors flow throughout the rooms. Reclaimed wood ceilings supported by huge, heavy timbers, soar above living areas. Interior walls are formed of hard, color imbedded plaster with round corners, and bathrooms are graced with marble. The thickness of the stone walls keeps the house temperate year round. A sophisticated radiant heating system supplies natural heat in winter and a complex fan system draws access heat out through vents in the roof. Every room is furnished with quality, antiques, lovingly sought and collected by Maggie Haywood, during the second phase of building. The dining table and and an antique twin bedroom set are heirlooms from Peter's family.

Views of the vineyards, hillsides, and native oaks abound from every room. Slate patios invite guests to step out and enjoy the outdoors. The estate is more than quintessential wine country; it embodies the heart of the winemaking family and their commitment to quality in all aspects of their lives. They invite guests who wish to immerse themselves in wine country culture for three days or more, to entertain, family, friends, and business associates, and to make the Manor House their own for a truly special experience.

Pool and Spa

The recent completion of a beautiful new pool, spa and terrance overlooking the vineyards adds even more magic to the ambiance of this special estate. The quality of construction and design compliments the unique characteristics and quality of the home. A charge for heating the pool if desired will be determined by the temperature of the water and the cost of propane to heat. A fee of $100 per day will then be charged to keep the pool at temperature. A fee of $75 per day will be charged to heat the spa during winter, and $50 per day for shoulder and high seasons, approximately April through October. These fees are not included in the fee structure as they are variable and optional. Guests will be required to sign a pool and spa waiver.

Sonoma Valley and Surrounding Areas

Enjoy the best of both worlds - a truly private farm stay in the center of an agricultural paradise - just five minutes to historic Sonoma Plaza. The estate offers educational vineyard tours. Guests are welcome to walk in the vineyards and can walk or bicycle to Sonoma Plaza, the famed town center. Its eight acre park, designed by General Mariano Vallejo, was home to the Bear Flag Revolt and launched California as a state. It is surrounded by historic buildings, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, shops, galleries and historic sites including Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma, Sonoma Barracks, Sebastiani Theater, and nearby Depot Museum and Vallejo’s Home. A rich collection of spas, galleries, antique stores and specialty shops are close at hand. One-of-a-kind regional offerings include Cornerstone Gardens and Di Rosa Preserve. Cornerstone, on Hwy 121 at the entry way to Sonoma, is an exciting center with unique shops, a restaurant, gardens, and an event center. Di Rosa Preserve – just across Hwy 12 from Domaine Carneros is in the Carneros Appellation, which unites the Sonoma and Napa Valleys. It houses an outstanding collection of California contemporary art.

The estate's vineyard acreage and numerous nearby hiking trails provide a close up look at the beautiful natural terrain and native habitat. The Sonoma Overlook Trail features outstanding views of the valley and Bay Area. Local bike shops and tour companies offer rentals and tours. The charming village of Glen features exceptional restaurants and the famed Jack London State Park. Cross the county line just 15 minutes from the house to begin your exploration of Napa Valley. Between the Sonoma and Napa Valleys there are nearly one thousand wineries. For touring and tasting choose from a number of locally based tour and transportation companies, including Burdick Vineyard Tours and California Wine Tours.

With your extended stay take advantage of local markets and farmers' markets. Whole Foods, Safeway and Sonoma Market are near Sonoma Plaza. Nearby Sonoma’s Best, offers local and international wines, gourmet products, coffee, deli, outdoor seating, and take out. The seasonal Farmers Market, complete with food and entertainment, takes place in Sonoma Plaza on Tuesday evenings. The Market is held in Depot Park on Friday mornings. In November and December the community offers holiday shopping with old-fashioned hospitality. Many shops, including Sign of the Bear, one of the top kitchen stores in the United States, and Readers’ Books, a local treasure, offer free gift-wrapping.

Sonoma is a wonderful place to visit throughout the seasons. The area is resplendent with food, wine, and cultural events the year around. During harvest, from about August through October, there could be no more exciting place to reside than Sonoma Valley at Haywood Vineyard’s Manor House.

Loved this special and distinctive estate!
The house and property were absolutely beautiful, exactly what we expected and hoped for after viewing the listing. The home not only had loads of character and charm, it was stocked with all of the necessities and amenities to have a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Our family of adults cooked a little, enjoyed the spa and relaxed while admiring the views. It was perfect for our family birthday celebration. The location was great - a short trip into town and close to the vineyards and restaurants we visited. I highly recommend treating yourself to stay at the estate. We hope to return sometime soon.

Fabulous House. Great location and views
A wonderful large and well furnished house. Multiple seating and eating areas, inside and out. Great views from the house, terrace and pool, looking over the vineyards. It feels very special. Large well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. It stayed nice and cool in August. Very quiet and beautiful, but only 5 minutes from town. Pat and the team looked after us very well. Would definitely come back again.

It had perfect sunset views at night. The property manager, Pat, was so accommodating with us traveling with a 7 month old, and she provided so many helpful details about Sonoma as well.

The property absolutely stunning; very well stocked; extremely clean. Just a joy! Manager Pat very responsive, thank you. Only notation: there is NO formal air conditioning unit. The thermostats (we believe) control just the heat. Air cooling is done by attic fan circulation & open windows. The A/C notation should be removed. Otherwise, we loved the house and it was just amazing to be there - thank you!

This is one of the most beautiful properties we’ve ever stayed at! Pictures can’t even begin to do it justice. We were a group of grandparents, adult children and their children. The house was spacious and the pool area looked like a 5-star resort. The listing Indicated that there was air conditioning however there isn’t. I was quite concerned about this, however the manager was very thorough in explaining the process for the whole house fan. She was also incredibly accommodating in bringing additional fans even though we didn’t ask for them. It was the perfect vacation!
