Who says wine-country living has to be rustic? Ventana Sonoma offers stunning vistas of the Sonoma hills and picturesque vineyards, all wrapped in contemporary design by Ridge Design + Build.
This five-bedroom Californian property is for sale through Gina Clyde and Daniel Casabonne of Sotheby’s International Realty – Wine Country, Sonoma Brokerage for $15.5m. It is located off historic Old Winery Road, just a stone’s throw from the famed Buena Vista Winery on the exclusive Ridge Valley Road. Sonoma County is home to 18 wine regions and more than 425 wineries, ranging from family-run operations to internationally renowned wine houses, making it a top destination for oenophiles across North America.
But it’s not just the location that commands a premium: the turn-key, 6,859 sq ft property occupies its own 2-acre lot and has been furnished from top to toe with contemporary finishes and design pieces that create a warm and casual vibe. There’s a strong emphasis on natural materials and tactile finishes, from Hemlock and Accoya clad ceilings to Calacatta and viola marble; limewashed walls; custom oak cabinetry; and hand-plastered Tadelakt showers.
The rear courtyard serves as the focal point of the layout, with almost every room having access to this private outdoor space, complete with a swimming pool and limestone water feature.
This California property caters to foodies, boasting a spectacular entertaining kitchen, a separate caterer’s kitchen, and an outdoor kitchen area with a heated BBQ.
Inside, there’s a home office and a media room in the primary wing, as well as a guest house with a separate entertainment space and games room. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Sonoma home without a curated architectural wine cellar.
