Whether you're looking for a food, wine or tech product photo location or a quiet place for interview video shoots and gorgeous portrait photography, this secluded home at the top of Santa Rosa's Fountaingrove has it all, including one of the best mountaintop views in all of Sonoma County. Designed by a leading San Francisco architect, this modern home is filled with stunning natural light filtered through lots of oversized windows and retractable Nanawalls, making it ideal for video interviews and photo shoots for people portraits or products, such as food and wine photography. Outdoors, you'll find four dramatic succulent gardens, featured in the 2021 July/August issue of Sonoma magazine, offering endless backdrops for portrait or group photos. Hundreds of succulents, agave and cactus bring intriguing texture and a desert, southwest style landscape to your scene. If you want to shoot a video interview with a mountain range in the background, this property has that too. The sunken hot tub makes for an amazing backdrop for a couples or singles portrait photo. There are even great backdrops for pet portraits. Completely renovated in 2019, the designer kitchen features a focal back splash with Italian hexagon tiles, a central island with quartz countertops, and Wolf and Subzero appliances. The dining room features a redwood slab table for ten overlooking retractable Nanawalls that open to vista views and a 1400-square-foot patio with multiple entertaining spaces and a sunken hot tub with sun deck. There are many white walls, also giving the space an art gallery feel. Gray limestone flooring on the first story, gray maple hardwood floors, a distinct central staircase made of gray maple and vaulted ceilings. The house is about 2400-square feet with about 1700 of the footage downstairs in an open floor plan with formal sunken living room, formal dining room, rotunda breakfast nook, kitchen, half bathroom and an office. There are many different, interesting surfaces for photo shoots, as noted in the pictures. The house sits on almost an acre, facing east into the sunrise, with filtered light coming into windows throughout the day. The back of the property feels extremely secluded despite being in the city limits. Oliver's Market is two miles away for gourmet groceries and deli. ***SORRY.

Lisa and Damon have created an ideal space for small team meetings and executive retreats. There are views on views on views, and the interior includes multiple spaces where people can gather for discussion. Our team immediately felt reflective, inspired and reflective upon entering their space.

The host was incredibly responsive to any questions or accommodations. The space was spotless when we arrived. The exterior landscaping is just as beautiful as the modern decor inside. We had an amazing yoga retreat complete with sound healing. Highly recommend this beautiful space.
