About 8781 Martinelli Rd

Welcome to Old Vine Farms, a one-of-a-kind 74.51-acre Wine Country estate in the heart of Forestville. Nestled where Green Valley Creek, Green Valley, Russian River Valley, and Sonoma Valley converge, this remarkable property reflects more than a century of Sonoma County heritage. Old Vine Farms is not a replica, it is a historic estate originally founded by one of Sonoma County's pioneering grape-growing and winemaking families. From the back porch, the property opens to a village-like setting of five distinctive structures surrounded by vineyards, trees, and rolling countryside. At the center is a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath farmhouse that blends old-world charm with modern design. A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage provides a peaceful and private retreat for visitors. Nearby, a pool house and expansive deck surround a plunge pool, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining under the warm Sonoma sun. The reimagined vineyard barn serves as a memorable gathering space, while the vineyard office below overlooks more than 10 acres of vines and 65 acres of forested landscape. A spacious workshop offers endless possibilities for creative projects, hobbies, or storage. The vineyard includes rare dry-farmed old vine Zinfandel dating back to the 1800s, along with Chardonnay planted in the early 1970s, adding historic character and authenticity to the land. Private trails wind through redwoods, firs, and bay trees, creating a tranquil setting that feels worlds away. Located just over an hour from the Golden Gate Bridge, Old Vine Farms offers a rare opportunity to experience a timeless Wine Country lifestyle while enjoying the comfort and convenience of modern living. Furnishings are also available. Vineyard has been leased to well known winery.
