Buyers should independently verify the current status, transferability, and requirements of all County permits, State licenses, and agency approvals.
At the heart of the estate is an approximately 2,750-square-foot "Rancho Villa"-style residence, constructed in 2000-2001 with impressive big-timber craftsmanship. Italian plaster walls, stone flooring, a stucco exterior, and an expansive redwood deck overlooking the canyon create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The open interior features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a first-floor primary suite, a spacious great room with wood stove, chef's pantry, and a distinctive scarlet AGA range anchoring the kitchen.
Additional accommodations include a one-bedroom caretaker's cottage with an office and expansive basement workspace ideal for an art studio, workshop, or wine cellar. A private chalet-style bunkhouse offers three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and generous kitchen and living areas, with some finishing work remaining.
