Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1992, the property is 32 years old and appears to be in mostly original condition. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated white tile countertops, oak cabinetry, and fluorescent light boxes typical of the early 90s. While the home is well-maintained and functional, it exceeds the 20-year threshold for 'Good' and requires cosmetic updates to finishes and potentially aging systems to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 363290, living area = 2306.
Situated at the top of Lawndale Road, the estate offers commanding panoramic views of vineyards and mountains, providing a quintessential Wine Country lifestyle just an hour from San Francisco.
The 8.34-acre lot is zoned RR4, offering a rare opportunity for a lot split to create a second estate-sized parcel, plus additional ADU potential under California law.
Built in 1992, the home may require cosmetic updates or modern renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms to align with contemporary luxury buyer expectations.
While the lot split potential is a major asset, it remains contingent upon completing a survey and successful perc tests, which adds a layer of due diligence and cost for the buyer.
Perched at the top of Lawndale Road with commanding, panoramic views of vineyards, mountains, and the Valley of the Moon, this private gated estate represents one of Kenwood's most compelling opportunities and one of the most undermarketed properties to come off the Sonoma Valley market in years. Set on 8.34 oak-studded acres in the heart of Wine Country, this owner-built chalet was designed and constructed by the current owner in 1992 with distinctive stone and wood craftsmanship that sets it apart the moment you arrive. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,306 sq ft home delivers the wine country lifestyle in full. The living room anchors the main level with a fireplace, soaring arched transom windows, and French doors opening to expansive multi-level decks where vineyard and mountain views stretch in every direction. A formal dining room with hardwood floors, chandelier, and its own French door deck access flows seamlessly into a bright kitchen with gas cooktop, stainless wall oven, and a sunny wraparound bay breakfast nook. The primary suite features its own fireplace, vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and private French door access to a view balcony. An attached 2-car garage, interior laundry, and propane central heat complete the package. At 8.34 acres zoned RR4, this property carries verified lot split potential that was never properly marketed during its prior listing and that omission is the reason it sits available today. With a 4-acre minimum threshold, a survey and perc test are the remaining steps to create a second estate-sized view lot on one of Sonoma Valley's most prestigious rural addresses. Add ADU potential under California's permissive accessory dwelling laws, Flood Zone X designation, and proximity to world-class wineries, Annadel State Park, Glen Ellen, and the Sonoma Valley corridor all within roughly an hour of the Golden Gate Bridge. This is a legacy property with a second act waiting to be written.
