8993 Soda Bay Rd, Kelseyville, CA 95451

Unique owner-built Southwest-style house nestled against Mount Konocti, featuring stunning views of both the lake and the mountain. Located at the top of the hill above a working family farm and vineyard, enjoy a scenic drive past a vineyard and walnut orchard to reach the house. No nearby neighbors= lots of privacy! This is a great home for someone who enjoys privacy, beauty, a well-crafted living space and a country lifestyle. Available June 1st. ** For a full video tour of the house and property on Vimeo, search "8993 Soda Bay Definite Video Productions". The video shows the house unfurnished, which is how it is rented. ** Living room features accordion doors that open to create a seamless 18-foot span that merges inside/outside. Also included in the living room: a gorgeous boulder that the house was built around! Wrought iron stair railing with grapevine design made by local artisan. Kitchen has a butcher block counter and a built-in breakfast nook. Master bedroom has large wrap-around roof patio with an outdoor tub. The two upstairs bedrooms each include a private bathroom. The downstairs bedroom has a "Jack and Jill bathroom" (the bathroom has doors to both the bedroom and the entryway). The third floor cupola room could be a 4th bedroom for a child, an office, or kept as storage. Tons of wildlife and birds call the property home. Opportunities to garden, keep chickens, and make wine on site. Get involved with farm life as much as you want-- or not at all! Heating: Radiant floor heating on the first floor. Wood burning stove for extra ambiance. Cooling: Swamp cooler. Straw bale construction means the house is extra insulated and naturally stays cooler in the summer. Gravel roads. No garage but ample outdoor parking. Property entrance gate is automatic; one other gate to reach house requires opening/closing. Quick drive (3 mins) to Soda Bay Coffee and to Riviera Foods for groceries and gas. Safe and secure with entrance gate requiring a code. A few other renters live on-site in separate dwellings, but the property is such that everyone is tucked away and has their own privacy. Owner lives across the street on a separate parcel. As this is a custom home with many artisanal details, we require a sizeable security deposit. We are looking for a renter that appreciates these custom touches and will take good care of the home. Together the renter and landlord will do a joint walk-through inspection upon both move in/move out with a full checklist of the house conditions so that the deposit can be returned appropriately. Additional deposit required for pets. Renter is responsible for the following utilities: propane (for stove), diesel (hot water heater), electricity, Internet, and trash service. Landlord is responsible for all yard maintenance. No smoking. No garage, but ample outdoor parking. Credit check, criminal background check, past housing references, and proof of income required for prospective tenants. Renters insurance required for accepted tenants.
