Brewers Retreat sits on 80 acres, half Oak savanna grassland, half Coastal Forest. When purchased, the property was a vineyard operation for 5 years, after being a grazing farmstead for 175 years, after being the home of native Pomo tribes for thousands.

Our Clients requested indoor and outdoor living with effortless flow and the ability to enjoy the outdoors all four seasons regardless of weather. Most importantly, they asked for a house that creates minimal disturbance, and ‘sits light on the land and does not call attention to itself’.

Using traditional rural materials of rusted metal, concrete and darkened wood helps the home to blend and recede into the landscape
