Wine Country estate offers private lake, ‘ideal as a family compound’

Twenty-plus acres of bucolic Wine Country landscape needs a new owner. 4950 Maddocks Road in Sebastopol, an expansive estate boasting three separate residences, a regulation tennis court, fruit trees, a lake and a putting green, can be had for $5.5 million.

“This would be ideal as a family compound,” said Grace Lucero of Vanguard Properties. “The lake is one of the biggest attractions of the property.”

Built in 1980, the main home offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Large, woodframed windows highlight views of the lake. The home boasts an open floor plan with vaulted, wood-paneled ceilings and tile floors. A dock leads out to the lake and a covered patio beside the water features a gas fire pit. “It’s a beautiful property,” Lucero said. The estate occupies two lots and includes a 20-by-60-foot greenhouse, a chicken coop, a barn and a three-bedroom guest house. A putting green stands beside the shimmering lake, and turf driving mats are scattered about the landscape.

Mature trees shade the rolling lawns as gentle winds blow across the estate. Explorers

should appreciate the property’s wooden foot bridge, trails and trickling waterfall.

The main home faces south and enjoys ample sunlight all day long. A wood stove heats the great room as a

stained glass chandelier illuminates the dining area. Hardwood wainscoting adorns the walls, and a bar area looks into the tiled kitchen with a stainless steel refrigerator.

A flat top finishes the professional range and a glass door off the kitchen opens to the exterior, while a beamed ceiling shelters the cooking space. Nearby, a breakfast nook gifts unobstructed views of the private lake.

The family room opens to a wood deck that basks in sunlight. A built-in bench wraps around half the deck. Nearby, the owner’s suite steps out to a side patio.

Incoming owners have an opportunity to put their fingerprints on the property, Lucero said. Though the home is in turnkey condition, future residents may want to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms.

The two-story guest house features a pitched roof and expansive workshop. Shade trees surround the guest house tucked in the northwest corner of the property. This three-bedroom offers two bedrooms and 1,140 square feet of living space. The unwarranted barn also hosts three bedrooms, a bathroom and a powder room.
