Panoramic views sweep across the horizon from this ultra-private vineyard estate, a gated sanctuary tucked in the Almaden Valley.
More than two and a half acres of land is the picturesque setting for the approximate 3536 square-foot home at 20214 Viewcrest Drive. The two-level home is designed for a seamless flow to inviting outdoor venues, including Trex decks, multiple patios, pool, and terraced gardens. Pathways connect to about 1,640 Merlot grapevines that grace this hillside property that is also dotted with redwoods and oaks.
It was a dream come true for the current owner of this property when the soil was tested in 2003 and found to be ideally suited for growing wine grapes. His passion for winemaking turned into a reality when the vines were finally planted in 2015. A two-car detached garage with epoxy flooring has a drive-through bay to easily access the vineyard with equipment.
The home’s interior is drenched in natural light. It showcases hardwood floors, new carpet, tongue and groove, exposed beam high ceilings, freshly painted walls, new baseboards and trims, and new dual pane windows and sliders that frame the fantastic views.
There are four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, a living room, eat-in kitchen, family room, plus a game room with a walk-around wet bar.
