I just listed a home for sale in Santa Rosa out in beautiful Bennett Valley. With stunning views this home is a real bargain. Why would you want to live in Bennett Valley? Here are 3 facts that might just sway you:
- Whether you just want to drive through it or live in it, Bennett Valley is one of the most desirable areas in all of Sonoma County. Bennett Valley Road winds from Santa Rosa to the “back door” of Kenwood, Glen Ellen and the town of Sonoma. The properties found along the way are an interesting mix of farm houses, wineries and “estate” properties.
- Bennett Valley is nestled between three peaks; Taylor Mountain to the west, Sonoma Mountain to the south, and what are known today as Bennett Peak and Bennett Ridge to the east. For countless years ash accumulated on the valley floor from these volcanic peaks making the land in Bennett Valley a perfect place for growing premium wine grapes.
- This land made food sources plentiful, attracting many Native American Tribes to the area such as the Miwok, Pomo, and Wappo Tribes. For these first natives, the valley seemed to have mystical importance as hinted at by the name of the stream that flows southeast from what later became Bennett Peak into Sonoma Valley…”Yulupa”. This Native American word translates most closely into English as “sacred” or “magical”.
Also, the best properties in Bennett Valley are those that enjoy fabulous views and are not too far removed from major shopping. Which are two more reasons that 4728 Bennett Valley Rd, my new listing, is so desirable.
With a 3200 sqft Solar Powered home plus a Studio Apartment on 5.5 Acres. It has the views and it’s only two minutes to public golf and five to great shopping and wine country restaurants like Monti’s Rotisserie, Johnny Garlic’s , Gary Chu’s Gourmet Chinese, Osake Japan or Shogun Sushi. This Estate also features a wine cave, an in ground pool with retractable security cover, a spa, a ceramic studio and a large Tree house. It is attractively priced at $1,235,000.
It is also very close to one of the county’s premier private schools, The Sonoma Academy. Stay tuned for more interesting information on Sonoma County Properties.

Hi Ron,
I like how you picked an area and wrote three things about why it is so beautiful there.
Thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it.

Sonoma is so beautiful – this makes me want to go back!
I loved learning these facts about Bennett Valley, especially since I lived there for about 6 weeks very near Yulupa Avenue. I’ve always liked Bennett Valley and I enjoyed the area very much while I was there–convenient, friendly, restaurants of every kind, and a big Whole Foods grocery store. Thanks for helping educate me more about the area!
Just wanted to give you a shout from the valley of the sun, great information. Much appreciated.
