Significant planning, time and resources have been invested in the extensive infrastructure on this one-of-a-kind property opening the door to a wide range of uses. This property is brimming with potential, from a tranquil place to raise a family, a personal playground and vacation spot, a retreat center, a winery, or even a development opportunity with subdivision potential. This property is as big as your dreams.

The main residence designed by Brent Smith features a large courtyard entry with hand-forged iron, reclaimed herringbone brick and landscaping by award-winning Yamasaki Landscape Architecture.

While the interior of this home is noteworthy, it is the spectacular outdoor living that sets this estate apart. The setting on the bluff provides dramatic and private spaces to entertain or retreat with views that inspire and soothe. The sweeping west facing terraced patios can accommodate a large party, or a party two. The upper patio is framed by redwood planters and has a full kitchen with built-in leathered granite finishes, a prep sink, grill, misters, power shades, speakers, and a custom iron pergola with a fan and lighting. Watch the sunrise from the tranquil east facing patio, have lunch in the observation pavilion, an evening beverage by the fire, or simply observe the light as it makes its way across the river canyon topography revealing its layers. If you're lucky, you might spot a bobcat, a bear or a bald eagle.
