Step back in time with this unique property located within a block of the Sonoma Plaza. Originally built in 1906, the Ruby Stone building served as one of the first ice producing facilities in Sonoma County. The Sonoma Valley Ice and Cold Storage Company dramatically transformed the town's economy by allowing the railroad to ship wine, agricultural products, and dairy products. With the availability of ice, Sonoma rapidly turned into the city it is today. The Ice House was a booming business, until later in 1912 when refrigeration was invented, rendering ice production obsolete. Over the next 117 years, the building would serve as a cooperage, brewery, artist studio, armory in WWII, and prior to its current ownership, a ?bed and breakfast. Most recently the property was completely revitalized, making it a true piece of rare art. Completed in 2023 the property is now comprised of two buildings standing proudly on 0.19+/- acres. A second-floor penthouse main residence, leased tasting room ground floor, and ADU with Wellness Suite - totaling 6743+/- SF, 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms + outdoor pool and spa. History meets luxury with heated Terrazzo and Tasmanian Oak flooring throughout, an elevator to the second floor, and a fully restored functioning hand built artesian well pre-dating 1886. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Sonoma Valley's founding history and make it your own!
