A funny thing happened recently where a $2 million rural Healdsburg property with only a pool went semi-viral online. It all started when an X account called “Zillow Gone Wild” tweeted out a link to the 5-acre property on Chalk Hill Road, writing: “Everyone wants a pool, but having a house can be a lot of work, fortunately for us, this property solves that issue.” Of course, there are tons of properties around here like that — former sites of nice country homes that burned in wildfires, leaving only their fireplace or pool behind. And indeed, listing agent Tatiana McWilliams tells SF Gate that the house at 10547 Chalk Hill was destroyed in the 2019 Kincade Fire. But its sparkling infinity pool survived — which does make for a stark image. “All the pools survive the fires,” the local Realtor says. “Always.” (SF Gate & Zillow Gone Wild via X)
