Did you see the new homes at Bridge Trail at the North Village ? It’s developed by Hugh Futrell, a great developer who does unusual projects. He also build The Burbank on seventh street in Santa Rosa. Both developments have something special. All the homes at Bridge Trail come with solar panels a great way to lower your PG&E bill, actually there are tax rebates that can be claimed too!
The homes in the newer subdivisions are built on small lots (post stamp lots), the beauty of the Bridge Trail projects that it comes with open space/trails, kids will be able to walk to the Jack London Elementary and Piner Olivet Charter Middle school. And don’t forget the North Village club community center with pool gym etc.
The homes are priced in the low $400K range, should you be looking for a new home: there is lots of value that come with these homes. Tell them Mirjam de Rijk sent you and say hi to Stan and Juan.
Yesterday’s Wine club party at Seghesio Winery in Healdsburg was great, 400 pounds of crawfish was flown in from New Orleans (Peter’s wife comes from New Orleans) and that was served cajun style with red potatoes, corn and sausage. It came with Gumbo, that was absolutely the best I had.Last time I mentioned the 2004 Venom, a Sangiovese from Rattle snake hill (sold to members only), this time I need to tell you about Defiant, a new wine that will come out next year. Peter shared some of it to sample: it is still very young but already delicious and my expectations are extremely high for when it come out next year. It’s a mix from some Italian vines, will have to ask again what’s in it since I did not write it down.
Oh, Seghesio is also a great place for a picnic: enjoy you picnic with a great glass of wine while enjoying a nice game of Bocce. It doesn’t come better than that: Sonoma County living at it’s best!
Have a great day!
