Tucked behind gated access on 9.27 private acres, this fenced property offers the perfect blend of comfort, recreation and relaxation with 180-degree views stretching across the surrounding hills. Start your mornings with coffee on the iconic covered front porch that wraps around to the expansive back deck, then unwind in the outdoor spa while taking in the scenery. A private HUUM sauna sits just below the home along a peaceful walkway, creating a true resort-style experience. Indoor and outdoor speakers set the tone for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. The property includes approximately 3 acres of established vineyard infrastructure ready for new life and plenty of usable space for recreational vehicles, additional parking or a future shop.

The living room centers around a striking rock wall fireplace with wood mantle and sweeping views beyond. The main-level primary suite offers privacy and comfort with additional doors buffering the space from the main living area. The spa-inspired primary bath features radiant heated floors, dual floating sinks and a custom tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share a beautifully finished bathroom with a walk-in tile shower. Mini-split heating and air units provide year-round comfort.
