Getaway: ‘Rural but not remote’ Refined design amid resort grounds in Wine Country
The world-famous climate draws vintners from across the globe as designers and architects maneuver to put their own stamp on the landscape.
A mile from downtown Healdsburg stands 1005 Westside Road, an L-shaped retreat anchoring a bucolic landscape of grapevines, gardens and tree-studded hills.
“The home emanates what modern California country living is meant to be: inventive, inspiring and elegantly informal,” said Sheri Morgensen of Vanguard Properties Sonoma, who is co-listing the home with Sotheby’s International Realty agent Dee Grohmann for $9.5 million.
The estate’s pristine grounds include a hobby vineyard, private spaces for reflection and creativity, and prominent outdoor entertainment areas.
Extensive patios and an outdoor kitchen establish the property as an ideal locale for family gatherings, informal wine tasting events, fundraisers and everyday relaxation.
Lutron lighting, five fireplaces, wide-plank oak floors and ceiling speakers highlight the home’s refined material palette.
Two of the main home’s three bedrooms enjoy private spa bathrooms with Brizo air jetted tubs, while the guest studio provides lavish inclusions of its own.
Sleek stone finishes complement the bathrooms’ spa tubs and contemporary hardware.
Nearby, a frameless walk-in shower offers ample room for two and includes multiple body sprayers and a rain head.
Westside Road serves as one of Healdsburg’s major traffic arteries, allowing residents easy access to downtown, the highway and the town’s myriad of boutiques, tasting rooms, restaurants and parks.
Completely renovated in 2013, this three-bedroom retreat includes more than 5 acres in Wine Country and includes a hobby vineyard, a fully stocked outdoor kitchen, a bocce court, a spa and a solar heated pool.
The main home boasts five fireplaces, Lutron lighting, built-in audio and an eight-seat home theater.
