This $12.9 Million Sonoma County Estate Has 10 Acres of Wine Grapes

Northern California’s Sonoma County is renowned for its acclaimed wineries, but this 31-acre estate in Santa Rosa offers the rare opportunity to produce wine yourself.

Located about an hour north of San Francisco, the picturesque property includes an 18-acre vineyard parcel, with 10 acres planted in Pinot Noir, Gamay, Syrah, Viognier, and Mourvèdre. The vineyard is currently leased to a local winemaker, offering a hands-off approach to production, though the resulting vintages can be stored in the home’s custom wine cellar, which accommodates up to 1,880 bottles.

Beyond its oenophilic credentials, the contemporary compound offers broad appeal, with the sun-filled main residence offered fully furnished, with the exception of the interior artwork. An elevator ascends from the entrance vestibule to the main level, where an open living room flows into a dining area with a separate seating nook and fireplace. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, two islands for easy prep, and Gaggenau cooktops with both gas and induction options, along with a teppanyaki griddle.

All three bedrooms in the main house include en suite bathrooms. The primary suite adds a private fireplace and a spacious bath with an open rainfall shower and soaking tub. One of the additional bedrooms is currently configured as a children’s bunkroom.

Out back, a tiered patio features a fire pit and lounge area on the upper level, with an outdoor dining space just below. Lush landscaping, punctuated by sculptures included in the sale, leads down to a 60-foot lap pool and a grassy lawn. Additional lounge seating surrounds the pool, while the nearby pool house is outfitted with a wet bar and a fully equipped gym. Farther afield, a self-contained guest house and caretaker’s cottage add two more bedrooms, offering complete privacy for guests and staff.

The compound is listed for $12.9 million with Holly Bennett of Sotheby’s International Realty in Sonoma and Nina Hatvany of Team Hatvany Kitchen at Compass in San Francisco.
