Decades of Sonoma’s history resonate at this extraordinary vineyard estate for the first time on the market since it was built about 45 years ago. The enchanting property sprawls over 187 acres of prime land, including a 56-acre vineyard that yields award-winning wines in the renowned Moon Mountain Appellation.
This is the epitome of an iconic California wine country lifestyle revered all over the world.
Located about two miles from the historic Sonoma Plaza, 18000 Gehricke Road, aka Stone House, is an architectural gem of Sonoma County and a truly unique sanctuary with captivating views and hundred of vintage oaks dotting the land.
The 5,275-square-foot main home was handcrafted over eight years from stone and rock quarried from the hills above Sonoma and from timbers reclaimed from San Francisco’s Pier 41. The result is a gorgeous two-level home with soaring exposed beam ceilings, radiant-heated wideplanked hardwood floors, stone walls, hand-forged steel accents, gabled ceilings, hand-plastered walls, artfully crafted woodwork, a slate roof, copper flashing, and acute attention to every detail.
Multiple wood-framed and arched French doors create an effortless flow to inviting outdoor venues, including a vine-covered arbor and patio with amazing views and manicured gardens.
There are four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms in the main home with a media room/library, a loft with built-in open shelving, and a window seat. The primary suite also features a private balcony with spectacular views. Each bathroom is richly appointed with Carerra marble. In addition to spectacular living and dining rooms, a fabulous gourmet kitchen also features handcrafted cabinetry, chisel-edged counters, a fireplace, and high-end appliances, including a dualoven, six-burner plus grill Thermador range, and dual Bosch dishwashers.
The compound also features a barn with an en suite bedroom, full kitchen, a bunkhouse-style stable, a wine cellar, an office, and a four-car garage.
Stroll down the lane to a twobedroom, two-bath country cabin that sits on a ¾-acre lake. Crafted with the same reclaimed timbers from floors and walls to vaulted exposed ceilings, this cabin’s French doors open to the boat dock and porch with a nearby vegetable garden and fruit-tree orchard.
Terraced slopes of grapevines on the Haywood Estates Los Chamizal Vineyard grace the scenic land. Founded in 1978 by Peter Haywood, the first crush was produced in 1980, beginning its legacy of award-winning Zinfandels, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec wines. Price: $19,500,000
