Sotheby’s International Realty: Classic Rural Farmhouse in Wine Country
The artful design of this extraordinary wine country compound was inspired by the classic style of America’s rural farmhouse. The creative and playful style took heritage farmhouse and gave it a modern twist. Crisp white board and batten exterior and standing seam metal roof compliment the setting and a sophisticated design incorporates organic elements and abundant natural light. The architecture carries the trademark of chic wine country style—clean, crisp, classic and elegantly informal.
This newly constructed residence, completed in 2016, resulted in a tasteful expansion by joining a portion of an existing home with a substantial addition. The L-shaped design embraces the exterior pool terrace and celebrates the outside as much as the inside. Walls of glass and expansive stacking doors open on to three “outdoor rooms” and overlook pristine vineyard rows and the low lying hills of the coastal range of Dry Creek Valley beyond.A dramatic exposed cross-beamed ceiling unifies the kitchen with the Great Room and expansive panel doors open on to the exterior lounging/dining terrace that is covered and heated to ensure year-round outdoor entertaining in a comfortable environment. The efficient kitchen design invites creativity and provides generous space for food preparation. Premium appliances and finishes include a dramatic walnut butcher block island with prep sink, oil rubbed soapstone counters, Waterworks™ plumbing fixtures and a custom cedar wine room with glass panel doors. A spacious pool house with a large lounge and additional guest accommodations opens onto the expansive pool terrace finished in Pennsylvania Blue Stone. A dramatic stone water wall anchors the pool design and an expansive lawn embracing the pool is ideal for summer lawn games.Conveniently located, approximately 1 mile to Healdsburg Plaza and approximately 67 miles north of San Francisco.
