A gated estate on seventeen acres in Calistoga's western hills, set at 1,200 feet in a valley of its own. A six-bedroom California ranch-style main home wraps a heated pool and spa, with views to the Mayacamas from nearly every angle. A private family resort, with this degree of seclusion, this close to the valley floor, almost never comes available. The property has operated as a sought-after vacation rental generating remarkable income that the new owner is positioned to pursue. Few estates offer privacy at this scale. Fewer still arrive having a track record of notable earning potential. The approach climbs through the gentle hills to a gate, and past it, to a property that reveals itself slowly. The main home opens to a great room beneath high ceilings, warm oak underfoot, an eat-in kitchen anchored by a single slab of ancient California walnut, and indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces that flow into one another. The great room looks over a lawn shaded by old Black and Live oaks. Set apart from the main house is the Modsita, a private, high-end two-bedroom guest residence with its own pool. It gives the estate a second center of gravity: a place for guests to stay without intruding, a retreat for the owner, or the quarters that let the main home earn while its owner remains on the land. A tennis court, solar with backup power, and reverse-osmosis water treatment complete a property built to run independently on a remarkable infrastructure base. It is uncommon for a single property to hold the potential for a family retreat, a private compound for guests, and an estate that has shown it can support itself. All of it gated, at moderate elevation, a short drive from the valley floor, and all at the owner's discretion.

The unobstructed views and serenity discovered here are simply extraordinary. Just 5+/- minutes from the historic towns of Glen Ellen and Kenwood, you may feel as though you've arrived in the South of France as you enjoy the pastoral drive over a picturesque bridge before arriving at this gated, 5.4+/- acre end-of-lane retreat.

Designed to immerse you in its spectacular setting, walls of glass create the feeling of living within the landscape itself. Sweeping views fill the home, while expansive entertaining decks blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The main level features the well-appointed kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace, media room, office, guest bedroom, powder room, and a spacious suite with jetted tub and direct outdoor access. Upstairs, a custom second suite offers a fireplace, private balcony, full luxe bath and breathtaking views.
