This magnificent vineyard estate is the perfect place to escape from the fast daily pace of Silicon Valley. The grounds of approximately 41 acres are as peaceful as they are beautiful, with spectacular top-of-the-world San Francisco Bay views. Arriving on the front terrace is as if stepping into the Italian countryside.

Completed in 2006, the entire property is created with earth tones, richly hued woods, and terra cotta tiles complemented by scrolled ironwork and touches of stained glass. The scale of the home is destined for grand entertaining spilling out to exceptional front and rear terraces. The kitchen is a culinary retreat with commercial-quality appliances, and the wine cellar awaits a sizable collection. Multiple rooms for everyday living, a theatre, plus a well-being center with spa, steam, and sauna add luxurious touches.

Personal accommodations, arranged over three levels connected by elevator, comprise 6 bedrooms, including a multi-room master suite with office, sitting room, and two full baths. Outside, the grounds are equally compelling with a pool, spa, pool house, and tennis court, all intertwined with beautiful landscaping and sweeping Bay views. This is clearly an unrivaled country setting just a few short miles from the heart of Silicon Valley.
