19000 Admiral Cooke Ln, Sonoma, CA 95476

Originally part of Admiral Charles M. Cooke's 350-acre Hillwood Ranch, this 60-acre property has been in the same family for nearly 100 years. After his distinguished service, including commanding the USS Pennsylvania at Pearl Harbor and serving as a key architect of the U.S. Pacific Campaign during World War II, the Admiral gifted this 60-acre parcel to his daughter. To honor her husband's heritage, she added Japanese-inspired features to the home, including imported roof tiles and chain-link gutters. The property offers privacy and stunning vistas of Sonoma Valley, the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline. A private hiking trail leads to the ridgeline, where you'll find even more breathtaking views, including Mt. Tamalpais. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is ready for immediate enjoyment or can serve as a temporary residence while you build your dream estate. Just minutes from downtown Sonoma, this property offers a rare combination of history, natural beauty, and tranquility.
