A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Sonoma Wine Country

Evergreen Awards is thrilled to announce Zegarra Estate as the Best Luxury Vacation Rental in the U.S. of 2025. Nestled in the picturesque Sonoma Wine Country, this 6-acre ranch and retreat offers a luxurious, all-encompassing getaway where families, friends, businesses, and production teams can relax, recharge, and connect with nature. Zegarra Estate is a place where tranquility, world-class amenities, and stunning landscapes converge to create an unforgettable experience.

A Family Legacy and a Tribute to Heritage

Zegarra Estate is not only a luxurious vacation destination but also a heartfelt tribute to Vanessa Zegarra Higgins’ family heritage. Having grown up in the vibrant city of Sydney, Australia, Vanessa found a deep connection to her grandmother’s legacy when she discovered the estate in the Russian River AVA. The property has since become a bridge between past and present, reflecting her family's enduring values while offering modern luxury for today’s travelers.

“This estate is incredibly special to me because it brings together the natural beauty of Sonoma County with the spirit of my family’s heritage,” says Vanessa Zegarra Higgins, owner of Zegarra Estate. “It’s a place for everyone — from families and friends to businesses and film production teams — to unwind and create lasting memories.”

Luxury Meets Adventure

What makes Zegarra Estate stand out from other luxury vacation rentals is its unique combination of serene luxury and adventure. With two beautifully designed houses that accommodate up to 10 guests, the estate offers spacious, comfortable living areas that combine modern amenities with rustic charm. Guests can enjoy the estate’s spring water Roman-style pool, hot tub, boating court, game room, and a creek running through the back of the property. The presence of sheep grazing in the front field, a disco ball in the foyer, and a private event space called The Stables make Zegarra Estate a place that’s both fun and luxurious.

“We wanted to create a place that has something for everyone,” says Vanessa Zegarra Higgins. “Whether you're here to relax, host an event, or explore the stunning surroundings of Sonoma Wine Country, we’ve designed every aspect of the estate with comfort and fun in mind.”

Perfect for Corporate Retreats and Special Events

In addition to being the ideal destination for family getaways and romantic retreats, Zegarra Estate is also perfectly suited for corporate events. The estate’s event space, The Stables, provides a serene environment for business meetings, team-building activities, and corporate retreats. The 3-acre front field is an ideal location for outdoor events, with the ability to set up tents for large gatherings or more intimate meetings.

Zegarra Estate also offers the unique opportunity for film production companies to use its stunning landscape and versatile spaces for commercial shoots, music videos, and movies, making it a sought-after location for the entertainment industry.

A True Connection to Nature

Located just a 20-minute drive from the Pacific coastline, Zegarra Estate allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds — the quiet and beauty of Sonoma Wine Country, combined with the adventure and relaxation of the coast. The estate's Pinot Noir grapevines add a unique touch to the experience, inviting guests to enjoy the flavors of Sonoma through wine-tasting experiences right on the property.

"We've designed the estate to be a haven where people can reconnect with nature and each other,” says Vanessa Zegarra Higgins. “It’s not just about luxurious accommodations; it’s about creating a space where guests can feel completely at home while enjoying the beauty of Sonoma County.”

Sustainability and Guest Satisfaction

Zegarra Estate is also deeply committed to sustainability. For every order placed, the estate plants a tree in the U.S. and supports ocean cleanup projects.
