set on approximately 57.9± acres of rolling sonoma countryside, comprised of two adjacent parcels—one offering a park-like landscape and the other home to the residence—this private estate presents a rare opportunity defined by expansive views, privacy, and natural beauty. open meadows and gently rising hillsides create a sense of scale and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find, while the natural topography preserves the integrity of the surrounding landscape.
built in 2004, the residence reflects a refined interpretation of modern country living, where clean architectural lines meet thoughtfully curated finishes. australian ironwood flooring and slate surfaces extend throughout much of the home, complemented by solid wood core doors that underscore the quality and craftsmanship of a custom-built residence.
the approach opens into a generous foyer, where soaring ceilings immediately establish a sense of volume and arrival. to the right, a gallery-style hallway with dedicated art lighting provides access to two bedrooms, reinforcing the home’s intentional design and architectural flow.
beyond the foyer, the living spaces unfold naturally into a refined kitchen with modern finishes, expansive counter surfaces, and high-end appliances. the kitchen is ideally positioned to overlook and connect with the main living area, while the adjoining dining space is framed by glass and wood doors that open to the patio, creating a seamless transition between indoor living and outdoor entertaining.
the grand great room stands as one of the home’s defining architectural features, centered around a wood-burning freestanding fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and presence. cathedral ceilings finished in wood with exposed open beams create a dramatic sense of scale, while the expansive layout allows for multiple intimate living areas. walls of wood and glass draw in natural light and surrounding scenery, where panoramic views become an integral part of the interior experience.
as one moves through the home to the upper level, a well-appointed staircase, finished with australian ironwood steps, a metal railing, and a wood handrail, creates a seamless architectural transition. the ascent opens to a gallery-like hallway, thoughtfully designed as a passage for art or a curated library, continuing the home’s cohesive design language while maintaining a sense of openness to the spaces below.
the primary suite, positioned on the mezzanine level, unfolds as a private architectural retreat. a wall of glass and doors opens to a private deck overlooking the estate, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. exposed trusses and contemporary lighting extend throughout the suite, carrying into the primary bath where a glass-enclosed shower and a separate soaking tub are oriented to capture surrounding views. a walk-in closet also benefits from this open, airy design, reinforcing the continuity of volume, light, and architectural detail throughout this elevated living space.
the residence is thoughtfully oriented to maximize natural light and capture the surrounding landscape, with a distant pond serving as a tranquil focal point within the broader view corridor.
outdoor living is equally compelling, with an expansive deck extending from the main living areas and overlooking the pool below. the pool area offers dedicated lounging space, while an adjacent patio provides ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining, all set against sweeping countryside views.
sustainability is a notable component of the property, with a substantial solar system, backup generator, and approximately 10,000± gallon water storage tank, offering the potential for low-dependency or off-grid living.
ideally suited as a private retreat, weekend escape, or full-time residence, the property is conveniently located near santa rosa, healdsburg, and sonoma
