The space★ OVERVIEW ★
Escape to a modern farmhouse on eight private acres in Sebastopol’s Russian River Valley AVA. Open the three panel accordion glass wall to vineyard lined views over the Atascadero Creek watershed with Balletto vines in the distance. Apple House is peaceful and upscale, tucked into the country but minutes from The Barlow and award winning tasting rooms. In late summer and fall, pick heirloom Gravenstein apples right from the yard.
Sebastopol is nicknamed the “Gravenstein Apple Capital” and hosts the Gravenstein Apple Fair each August (running since 1973). Horticulturist Luther Burbank once said, “If the Gravenstein could be had throughout the year, no other apple need be grown.”
