18501 Van Zandt Resort Road—Philo

Welcome to a very special place where dreams can come true. This 160-acre property hosts a smorgasbord of features, offering a harmonious marriage between nature and human. Shenoa has spectacular views, paths through ancient forests, a unique variety of living accommodations and the entire infrastructure to support it.

Located in one of the most beautiful stretches of the Anderson Valley, this property will suit those interested in operating a serene and lively retreat center or landing a tranquil place to call home. Some of Shenoa’s magic comes form being embraced by the Navarro River and Hendy Woods State Park, both precious gems in the Anderson Valley treasure chest.

The oldest trees on the property are 300 years old with 1,500 year old trees in the Hendy Woods State Park, which is accessible from the Shenoa by forest road. The property is bordered by the Rancheria, Anderson, and Indian Creeks which come together at Shenoa to form the Navarro River where there is a natural swimming hole right at the edge of the property. The miles of forested trail are great for hiking and exploring.

Among its exceptional features is a Major Use Permit which allows for the operation of a commercial venture such as a retreat center or other kinds of transient habitation enterprises, as well as the allowance for the construction of a grand estate for a main residence.

Shenoa can accommodate overnight retreat groups up to 80 people in 8 distinctively individual modern guest residences and 11 rustic guest cabins. This exceptionally rare heaven features over 29,000 square feet of roof top including:
