9359 Ladera Road
Glen Ellen, CA

Some properties stop you in your tracks. 5,800 square feet, 14 private acres, a pool, a spa, and interiors that read like an Architectural Digest feature. In the heart of Glen Ellen, Sonoma — and my buyers just went into contract.

Glen Ellen sits at the quieter, more intimate end of Sonoma Valley — the place where the wine country lifestyle actually looks like the magazine version. Shaded lanes, working vineyards, and properties that rarely come to market. When they do, the ones worth having don't last.

9359 Ladera Road is one of those properties. Behind the gate, the scale opens up in a way that surprises even buyers who've seen a lot. 5,800 square feet of meticulously designed living space set into 14 acres of rolling Northern California landscape — with the kind of privacy that's increasingly hard to find within reach of the Bay Area.

The Interior

Every material choice considered, every proportion deliberate. This isn't a flip finished for resale — it's a home built and designed to be lived in at this level. The interiors photograph beautifully and live even better.

The Land

Fourteen acres in Sonoma is genuinely rare at any price. Here it delivers privacy from the road, views across the valley, and enough land to make the estate feel self-contained. The pool and spa are set into the landscape in a way that feels inevitable — designed in, not added on.

On Finding Deals in Wine Country

The best properties in Sonoma don't announce themselves loudly. They surface through relationships — knowing who's thinking about selling before the sign goes up, and understanding what a property is actually worth versus what the market is guessing. This is exactly how 9359 Ladera came together for my buyers.

If you've been watching Sonoma Valley and waiting for the right opportunity — the extraordinary home at a price that reflects reality, not hype — I'm finding them. The market is moving, and access is everything.
