Styled like an Italian villa, this home serenely rests within the epitome of pure, natural beauty. It offers views of the Sonoma Valley, the North Bay, and Mount Diablo beyond. Within its grounds are miles of gently meandering paths, two ponds, two fruit orchards, a walled garden, a rose garden, a rhododendron garden, a Zen garden, trellised game area (horse shoes/bocce and chess), caretaker’s cottage and rustic red barn with two horse stalls, two cabins, a ‘palace de pullets’, year round Carriger Creek, a hand-built family stone chapel and so much more to delight the heart. The villa itself features grand 15-foot ceilings, stained concrete floors, hand-troweled plaster walls, and three sets of magnificent custom arched steel doors that open to the sunny pool with its romantic views. It also includes an oversized stone fireplace and excellent kitchen. The sellers spent years curating items for this property from around the world, from Balinese front boors to the great room chandeliers shipped from Buenos Aires, the house contains tasteful magnificence throughout. Despite its peaceful seclusion it is less than an hour from San Francisco and only minutes from downtown Sonoma. It spans 57 acres on Sonoma Mountain in 4 parcels of land.
