Sonoma County Wine Country Home Near San Francisco
Our home is in the Oakmont "over age 55" community surrounded by parklands and close to renowned Sonoma County wineries. It has been extensively renovated, with a new kitchen, bathroom, and landscaping. It is attached on one side to a neighboring house. There are amenities like swimming pool, hot tub, golf, and tennis courts in the community. The house is comfortable and well-equipped, and comes with the use of an older minivan. San Francisco is about 1 1/2 hours away, the ocean is about 45 minutes away, and there are many interesting attractions in Northern California.
The main guest should be 55 or older, and small children are not welcome for long visits.

About Our Family
We are a couple in our early 70s, both retired. Most of the year we live in Ohio, and enjoy volunteer work and travel.
Places we'd most like to visit for a month in 2024 are Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, Ireland, England, or Wales. We like cities, or to be out in the countryside.
Also open for short exchanges in New York City, Seattle, Vancouver.
Lifestyle
The house is located in a community with amenities including 3 swimming pools, hot tubs, gym, tennis courts, and golf course. We will ensure that our guests have access to them. There are wonderful places to walk and hike in Sonoma County, and it is possible to hike right into Annadel State Park from our home. Sonoma County is a renowned wine region and many wineries are close by. The Pacific Ocean is about 45 minutes away and San Francisco is about 90 minutes away by car.
