HISTORIC VINEYARD ESTATE IN FORESTVILLE

8781 Martinelli Road
Forestville, CA

Welcome to Old Vine Farms, a deeply authentic Wine Country estate set within the layered landscapes of Forestville’s Green Valley. Surrounded by vineyards, forested hills and creekside beauty, this approximately 74.5+/-acre property offers a rare combination of history, agricultural heritage, and thoughtfully restored living spaces. More than a retreat, Old Vine Farms is a working farm rooted in Sonoma County’s early winemaking history, where old vine vineyards and historic structures have been carefully revived for modern living.

At the center of the property sits the fully renovated farmhouse, a warm and inviting residence that balances rustic character with contemporary comfort. Wide views stretch across planted vineyards and wooded hillsides, while outdoor gathering spaces create an easy rhythm between entertaining and quiet retreat. A separate guest cottage offers privacy for visitors, while the restored vineyard barn has been transformed into an extraordinary entertaining space with reclaimed wood floors, vintage details, and soaring communal gathering areas that feel pulled from the pages of an editorial spread.

The grounds unfold like a small compound, with a plunge pool and spa, pool house, vineyard office, workshop, orchard-like surroundings, and miles of natural beauty extending in every direction. More than 10 acres of planted vines include exceptionally rare dry-farmed old vine Zinfandel dating back to the turn of the twentieth century, along with Chardonnay planted in the early 1970s. Beyond the vineyards, private trails wind through over 60 acres of redwood, bay, and Douglas fir forest.
