The Estate Above the Valley

Set behind the gates of the North East Santa Rosa neighborhood, this 11+ acre Tuscan-inspired estate delivers one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Sonoma County. From the moment you arrive, the Santa Rosa Plain unfolds before you..sweeping valley views, city lights at dusk, and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Rich marble and hardwood floors, two fireplaces, and a chef's kitchen with gas cooktop and slab countertops set the tone for timeless Wine Country living. The living room is wired for surround sound, and outdoor speakers extend the experience to the patios and grounds. The primary suite is a private retreat positioned to capture the estate's most dramatic views and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs laundry keeps daily living convenient. Automated blackout curtains and Lutron-controlled sun shades, including drop-down automated shades on the downstairs windows. A smart-controlled Lutron system manages lighting throughout the home, driveway, and between the garage, paired with a smart thermostat for effortless climate management. Dual-zone air conditioning keeps both levels perfectly comfortable year-round. Step outside and the estate truly comes alive. A water fountain anchors the grounds, and expansive patios and verandas flow seamlessly from the home, offering multiple outdoor living spaces framed by the rolling hills beyond. The detached guest house provides a private haven for visitors. A bocce ball court invites long afternoons with friends, and eleven acres of park-like grounds offer vineyard potential, space to breathe, and the privacy that defines Montebello living. The detached ADU is a fully equipped retreat; stacked washer and dryer, mini dishwasher and its own dedicated HVAC system with air conditioning and heat. Ideal as a guest suite, creative studio, or private office, or convert it back to a wine cellar to complement the estate's Wine Country heritage. The gated community of just 14 estate homes maintains the gate, common areas, and road, while most homeowners handle their own yard maintenance and fire prevention, keeping the HOA simple and the grounds exactly as you prefer. Additional features include a detached two-car garage and solar energy system. Adjacent to Mayacama Golf Course and Shiloh Regional Park, with the airport and Sonoma County's finest wineries just minutes away. This is a rare estate; eleven acres, gated privacy and a location that speaks for itself.
