Annapolis delivers a rare blend of coastal-ridge solitude and wine-country character. Set among redwoods and quiet vineyard rows in Sonoma County, it offers big skies, cool ocean breezes, and winding lanes that reward you with starry nights and the sound of wind through the trees. Everyday needs are easily met in nearby Gualala, while weekend excursions might take you to tasting rooms in Healdsburg, galleries and restaurants in Santa Rosa, or a dramatic shoreline ramble near Jenner.
Families appreciate the small-classroom attention at K–8 Horicon School, with high school options including Point Arena High School just up the coast in Point Arena. Leisure time skews outdoors: savor relaxed pours at the family-run Annapolis Winery, scan for migrating whales from the bluffs at Gualala Point Regional Park, or explore tide pools and pygmy forests at Salt Point State Park. History buffs can step back in time at Fort Ross State Historic Park, where the coastal vistas are as compelling as the preserved fort.
Housing here ranges from redwood hideaways and off-grid homesteads to view-filled vineyard parcels. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat or a full-time base for remote work, Annapolis rewards those who value space, privacy, and a strong connection to the land. When you’re ready to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate pro who knows the terrain—and the market—inside and out.
