Investment advisor William Donoghue vacationed in Sonoma County for 25 years before paying $359,000 for a two-bedroom condominium in Foss Creek Villas in Healdsburg last year. Mr. Donoghue, whose main home is in Seattle, says he too wants to stay and will retire in wine country. “Healdsburg is a charming small town (population 11,000), yet it has live jazz six nights a week, fine restaurants and 38 wine tasting rooms. And it’s only a 10 minute drive from the Santa Rosa Airport,” he says.

“Sonoma County is the ideal place to decompress and not give up the great delights of life, friends, wine and music,” says Mr. Donoghue.

Homes are selling fast here at Foss Creek Villas. In the last few weeks, we have welcomed 8 new homeowners to our community and the offers keep coming in. Buyers cite Foss Creek Villas’ beautiful grounds with lush landscaping, swimming pool and fabulous floor plans as an important draw for them, but of course its proximity to Healdsburg’s Plaza, restaurants, tasting rooms and shops, all within walking distance, is the primary factor.

Foss Creek Trail is a nice bike and walk path that currently goes from the villas to downtown Healdsburg. The trail uses the old railway which is public right of way. This railway extends far beyond the trail and will be used for the newly voted for SMART train from Cloverdale (north of Healdsburg) to the Bay Area.

The $2.5 Million is going to be used in two phases to refurbish the existing Train Depot, connect it with Foss Creek Trail and continue down to the Russian River.

I am very excited about the future living here in Foss Creek Villas because this path goes from across the street from my front door to the town square where I often take my meals and listen to music.

The trail additions are scheduled to be finished well ahead of the SMART train arrival in Healdsburg on 2014 . To me it’s going to be a quiet public walkway from Foss Creek Villas, past downtown, all the way to the Russian River!

Foss Creek is a great way to “right size without compromise”. The condominium homes make extremely efficient use of their 1000 square foot floor plan. With no internal stairs, all the area is dedicated to living space. Laid out like a classic hotel suite, they have a master bed and bath at one end and a guest bedroom bath at the other with all the common spaces in between.

Your guests have direct access to the front door so they can come and go with out interrupting the rest of the house. The master suite has its own privacy door that closes off the bedroom and bathroom from the rest of the home.

The kitchen has a pass through bar to the dinning room which is opens to the living room and balcony, giving the whole place a spacious and open feeling. The upper units have a vaulted ceiling and the lower units have a larger patio. There is even an entry hall for transition and privacy at the front door. With an outside lockable storage closet, an extended closet in the master bedroom and an optional 10 X 20 garage there is ample room for the things that mean the most to you.

This is the perfect place for folks who want to live worry free and maintenance free walking distance from the Historic Plaza in this fun, world class, gem of a town.
