Kenwood
Vineyard country beneath the Mayacamas, with estate living at a relaxed pace.
Kenwood sits at the northern end of Sonoma Valley, surrounded by vineyards and the dramatic slopes of the Mayacamas. The village itself is small, but the surrounding area contains an impressive range of vineyard estates, equestrian properties, hillside homes and private compounds.
For buyers interested in land, Kenwood can offer opportunities for hobby vineyards, guest accommodations and larger-scale estate living. Parcel-specific diligence is important: planted acreage, vine age, water, septic, zoning, wildfire exposure and access can all influence how a property functions and what it may support over time.
Kenwood is also exceptionally well positioned for recreation, with Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, Hood Mountain and numerous wineries nearby.
