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 a modular high tech structure, 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.

Diamond Mountain District, located between downtown Calistoga and the forested slopes of Diamond Mountain, is a residential and resort-adjacent Calistoga neighborhood with vineyard edges and geothermal spa culture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Lincoln Avenue near Washington Street, where tasting rooms, small galleries, and sidewalk cafés set a relaxed, walkable rhythm. Calistoga Spa Hot Springs, Indian Springs Calistoga, and the Sharpsteen Museum act as local pillars for soaking, design-forward hospitality, and town history. Architecture leans to Craftsman cottages, ranch homes, and low-slung contemporary retreats tucked behind mature landscaping. Bike routes and quiet lanes trace toward trailheads and winery roads, while evening light settles over the Palisades. The pace stays calm, with weekend foot traffic drifting in from the main street scene.
