Located 40 miles from San Francisco, the community promises a fresh take on modern farm living, emphasizing organic food cultivation and communal amenities.

Among the residences, one standout property is the modern farmhouse at 2055 Live Oak Farm Lane. It boasts a 3,460-square-foot layout with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, framed by the picturesque landscape of Petaluma's westside hills. The meticulously considered interiors feature European Oak floors, a well-appointed chef's kitchen, and a spa-like primary suite that exemplifies the intersection of elegance and comfort, according to the Zillow listing.
Live Oak Farm's unique proposition extends beyond the residence's walls. This community-oriented setup encourages a closer relationship with nature.
