Trinity Vista sits on a sun-drenched ridge above Glen Ellen, and everything about it starts with the view. It is a modern, light-filled hideaway made for two, a single-bedroom house set into its hillside so that the Sonoma Valley spreads out below in every season. Glen Ellen, the village at the heart of the Valley of the Moon, is minutes down the hill, with its tasting rooms, small restaurants and the oak woodland of Jack London State Historic Park. The trails of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park are a short drive north. It is a place for couples who want quiet first and wine country close at hand, and who would rather watch the valley change from a terrace than from a car.

Inside, the great room gathers a stone fireplace, a deep blue sofa and a wall of windows facing the valley, with the kitchen open to it all. The bedroom keeps a warm wood ceiling and a glass door that lets the morning in. Glass walls throughout blur the line between indoors and out, so a day moves easily from room to terrace and back. Mornings are coffee in the sun on a private terrace; afternoons belong to the pool deck, set above the slope. Evenings bring a bottle from a Glen Ellen tasting room back up the hill for sunset, then a fire in the hearth. With room for just two, the whole house and its view are yours.
