The Estate Guesthouse

Designed and built by acclaimed winemaker and entrepreneur Steve Ledson, the residence reflects a thoughtful balance of elegance, scale, and intimacy. The home was created not as a rental, but as a true estate residence — designed for gathering, entertaining, and extended stays in comfort.

  • Four generously appointed bedroom suites, each with a private en-suite bathroom
  • Grand yet inviting living and dining spaces, ideal for hosting and connection
  • Commercial-grade kitchen and stove, well suited for a private chef or elevated culinary experiences
  • Seamless indoor–outdoor living with covered outdoor dining overlooking the vineyards

Every element of the home is designed to feel effortless, refined, and enduring.

Vineyard Setting & Views

Vineyard Setting & Views

The estate’s setting is both dramatic and serene.

  • Expansive views across Estate Vineyards
  • Commanding vistas of Hood Mountain, rising nearly 3,000 feet above the valley
  • Covered outdoor spaces designed for long, unhurried meals and evening gatherings
  • Quiet mornings, golden afternoons, and starlit nights — uninterrupted and private

This is wine country experienced from within the vines, not beside them.

An Exceptional Kenwood Location

Perfectly situated yet remarkably secluded:

  • Less than one mile to the acclaimed Ledson Winery & Vineyards
  • Within one mile of highly regarded restaurants, tasting rooms, and local destinations
  • Immediate access to state parks and miles of hiking trails, from gentle walks to challenging climbs
  • Easy access to Sonoma, Glen Ellen, and the greater Sonoma Valley

Guests enjoy the convenience of proximity without sacrificing privacy or tranquility.

Estate Heritage

The ranch was stewarded for over 90 years by the late Clifford Cunningham Rich, whose father Penn Rich was a very close friend of the late Jack London who visited the ranch quite often. Cliff’s care and vision shaped the land into the vineyard estate it is today.
