MISSION HIGHLANDS VIEW HOME WITH RESORT-LIKE GROUNDS

CLOSE TO TOWN YET A WORLD AWAY

Exuding Old World European charm, this beautiful home located in the prestigious Mission Highlands area of Sonoma. Sweeping views of the west Valley offer a breathtaking window on the world below while you relax and enjoy this Tuscan retreat that feels a world away, but is less than 5 minutes from the Sonoma Plaza, and less than an hour from San Francisco.

Perfect for entertaining and atmospheric at every turn, the home’s large windows and French doors allow for the gracious indoor/outdoor living, truly representative of Wine Country. Muted hand plastered walls and beautiful design elements from around the world lend a warm ambiance throughout. The formal living room combines a beamed atrium ceiling with custom woodwork and wrought iron railings that embody timeless refinement. A large picture window overlooks a beautiful outdoor patio and the Valley beyond. On the other side, French doors lead to a dining patio and the pool area. A wood burning fireplace and drop-down home theater screen are perfect for cozy evenings spent indoors. 

Rustic wide plank oak flooring leads next to the library which can also be used as a tranquil study, home office or den. Once again, the exquisite views are mesmerizing. 

A breezy chef’s kitchen features abundant country cabinetry and whimsical details like a tiled backsplash with an ornamental cast iron frieze and pot filler. Stainless steel appliances include a five-burner range, double oven and oversized refrigerator. A large butcher block island provides additional workspace as well as seating. Open to the dining room, the kitchen is an ideal spot for entertaining. Throw open the French doors in the dining room to enjoy the sparkling fountain and nature’s soothing soundtrack. Venture through a set of fabulous antique hand carved doors imported from India to retrieve a bottle of your favorite vintage of wine On the opposite side, a shaded outdoor kitchen includes a sink, grill, stove, fridge and lovely dining area.

At the top of the turned staircase, a Juliette balcony overlooks the living room and keeps the space airy. The master suite is a private sanctuary with sliding glass doors onto a balcony with Valley views. The en-suite spa bathroom features a decadent soaking tub with romantic vistas and a glass walled shower with intriguing pebble flooring as well as a double sink vanity. Heated floors and toilets in both upstairs bathrooms bring a warming touch. Two additional bedrooms each features a balcony and share a lovely full bathroom. 

Outside, the property features multiple entertaining areas that frame the hillside vistas. A lagoon pool is ringed by stone pavers and the inviting pool cabana is a fabulous place to lounge and watch television or grab a cooling drink at the wet bar. Nearby, a beautiful date palm sways in the gentle breeze. Relieve the day’s stress in the six person hot tub surrounded by a fire pit and breathtaking views of the Valley. Paths throughout the property are ringed with rock walls that overflow with native plants and colorful flowers. A small Merlot vineyard gives a nod to winemaking endeavors. Above the pool area, steps lead to a view deck perfect for savoring sunsets. Below, an outdoor gym with views of the rolling landscape makes a fabulous spot for exercise, yoga, meditation or more. Beyond, a hammock lies in anticipation of its next guest. 

At the back of the home, the covered loggia offers a shaded seating area while the adjacent sun patio features another firepit. A large olive tree shades the outdoor dining area. Beyond, a play yard leads to a detached finished bonus room. With its own AC/heating and built in shelving, this would be a perfect game room, home office, art studio or whatever your imagination can dream up. A two-car detached garage lies just beyond.
