Timeless Vineyard Estate in Glen Ellen, California
Presented by Sotheby's International Realty - Wine Country - East Napa Street Brokerage
For more information go to
Nestled naturally into the undulating landscape of Wine Country, this estate was created over time and feels as much a part of the terrain as the trees and vineyards that surround it. Though the approx. 5,500-sq.ft. residence takes its inspiration from timeless Old World villas with warm stucco walls draped in emerald ivy, rugged barrel-tiled rooflines, Venetian plaster surfaces, decorative wrought-iron accents, regal French doors, and clerestory windows - it is decidedly contemporary, with clean modern lines found throughout the sophisticated interiors with iconic views.

Exclusive Winery and Vineyard | Anderson Valley Estate, Mendocino County, California
The Estate is situated in California’s renowned Anderson Valley where world class vineyards meet coastal redwoods. Leaving the valley floor you ascend the oak and vineyard strewn hillside entering the Estate’s grounds. As you wind along the Estate’s main road you disappear within the mountain’s folds only to remerge again to reveal yet another vineyard plot with one breathtaking view seemingly more alluring than the other. Arriving at the secluded Chateau you are welcomed with an all encompassing vista of the Anderson Valley. With views out to the reaches of where the Navarro River disappears into the redwoods and meets the Pacific beyond, one is well positioned to be witness to the most extraordinary of sunsets.
The Estate is 700 acres consisting of 4 legal parcels of more than 60 acres of vineyards, 30+ more plantable acres and the balance in virgin hardwood and fir forests interspersed with mountain meadows and seasonal streams. Gracing Estate is its French provincial inspired Chateau with its detached guest and office quarters. Tastefully dispersed around the Estate are two additional guest houses with one serving at times as an event site. Interspersed where needed are those outbuildings required to the maintain the Estate, i.e. barns, tool sheds, etc..
Anderson Valley temperate climate is where warms days are tempered by cool foggy nights and mornings producing world class wine varietals in particular Pinot Noir. The Estate consists of 3 distinct vineyard blocks ranging in age from 6 to 30 years old and ranging in altitude from 550 ft. to 1700 ft. with approximately 49 acres to Pinot Noir, 10 acres to Chardonnay, 3/4 acres to Syrah and less than 1/2 acres of Pinot Gris, Friulano and Malvasia. The Estate is bordered by a number of smaller vineyard operations as well as backing up against Kendall Jackson’s prized Outland Ridge Estate Pinot Noir vineyard.
The Estate’s vineyards consistently produce 90 point or better wines yielding over 65 to 105 tons wherein about 40% is used for onsite production with the remainder being sold for an estate premium to some of California’s finest labels. The Winery itself is situated on the high northern end of the Estate.The Winery’s production capacity stands at about 4,500 cases. Retail and wholesale sales are facilitated through the winery’s offsite tasting room in Philo.
The Estate, though, is much more than a vineyard and winery operation. The vines are planted in such a way to act as a man-made enhancement to already naturally stunning setting whose natural corridors act as a wildlife sanctuary teeming with native Colombian Blacktail deer, wild turkeys, quail, wild boar, blue grouse, ducks and the occasional black bear and predator. Countless trails transverse the Estate allowing for equestrian, hiking and ATV access throughout. More than anything, though,this is a transformative lifestyle estate that affords its new owners the ability to immerse themselves in an unparalleled natural environment and wine country living at its finest while having a serious commercial aspect that allows for long term fiscal sustainability.
Chateau St Jean Vineyards and Winery - Sonoma Valley
In 1999, Chateau St. Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be awarded the prestigious Wine of the Year award from the Wine Spectator Magazine for its 1996 Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon, that harmonizes all five Bordeaux varietals. The winery received high acclaim again when it received the #2 Wine of the Year for its 1999 Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon.

Three Sisters Vineyards - Dahlonega GA
$threesistersvineyards #georgiavineyards #georgiawines We have created the series after all of the fun we had last year touring the North Georgia Wine Region. Joan and I are not wine connoisseurs and our formula for wine is very simple - if we like it, we'll drink it. And one thing is for sure, we love the wines in North Georgia and especially Three Sisters Vineyards.
Part of what make Georgia wine so interesting is the farm environment. All the tasting rooms we've visited are in the vineyards. Many were working farms of one sort or another prior to becoming a vineyard. This casual, homey atmosphere welcomes you to the vineyard and then there's the tasting.
Three Sisters is the oldest commercial vineyard and winery in North Georgia. The wines are 100% made from grapes grown at this vineyard. Each sampled (and bought!) we very good. I (Jerry) like earthy, woody reds and Joan likes anything sweet. Three Sisters makes enough varieties to make both of us happy. The wine bar car be very social if you want it to be. Easy to strike up a conversation about the wines and travel. We even met a couple who are RV full timers and iLoveRVlife viewers.
As with many of the vineyards, Three Sisters is a popular wedding destination. I'll leave the explanation to the video. Just trust me on this one - Stunning!
Hope you get a chance to come to North Georgia and experience these wonderful vineyards and Three Sisters should be at the top of your list.

Retrospect Vineyards House in Connecticut by Swatt by Miers Architects
MODERN ARCHITECTURE |
- Project name : Retrospect Vineyards House
- Location : Windsor, Connecticut, United States
- Architects : Miers Architects
- Photograph : Russell Abraham, Marion Brenner
Retrospect Vineyards, a 20-acre plot in the Russian River Valley, has been producing pinot noir grapes and selling them to nearby wineries for fifteen years. However, when the new owners bought the property in 2010 they knew they wanted to have a greater involvement in the winemaking process. The result was a modern home designed to function as both a family retreat and a working vineyard, respecting the privacy of the residents without hampering the functionality of the land.
5430 O'Donnell Lane Glen Ellen, CA 95442 ~ Downtown Glen Ellen present by Tina Shone
Just over the little brick bridge on O’Donnell Lane, this charming cottage style residence sits on a triangle of land at the confluence of Calabazas and Sonoma Creeks. The interior includes three bedrooms and two full baths.
At the front gateway, where you enter from the lane, the house name Creekbottom is hand carved into the lintel. As you enter, a giant heritage oak stands to your left, and another stands behind you across the lane. The limbs of the oaks spread broadly overhead. Through the gateway, a one hundred yard view stretches ahead of you over a long green lawn.
As you walk through the oak shaded yard, a cool refuge on hot summer days, a stone pathway leads past the front terrace. The terrace is paved with brick and framed by a boxwood hedge. Stepping onto the terrace, the house spreads before you and wraps around the terrace at each end. A brick chimney stands between twin sliding glass doors, each eight feet wide. When the doors are open, they unite the brick terrace with the 25 foot living room within. The entry door is to the left, at a corner of the terrace. It includes a small leaded glass window to admit natural light into the entry hall beyond.
The kitchen, dining, and living room areas are all open to one another. Together they make a generous unified space, yet each is distinct in accord with its role. The kitchen is compact and shipshape. A tall north window, with hand-carved lettering on the trim, lights the kitchen and gives a view into the lane and beyond.
The laundry is convenient to the kitchen, with a pocket door between. Over forty years of residency, the house has been renovated and added onto with careful attention to design and detail, not only for pleasing appearance, but also for workflow, convenience, and comfort.
Inside, most floors are red oak, solid and thick. All doors are panel doors. Most are made of vertical grain fir with fir trim, naturally aged in color. All doorways are wide. Most rooms have vaulted ceilings and skylights. A third sliding glass door opens from the dining area onto a small deck, a giant heritage bay tree, and a fenced stone terrace. The living room includes a gas fireplace with hand carved cherry mantel and spacious built-in bookshelves. A folding staircase in the back hall gives access to attic space for light weight storage.
Outside, a side path leads down stone steps into a stone walled grotto. It is sheltered from sun on all sides by stands of bamboo and air conditioned by cool air out of Sonoma Creek. Multiple decks offer spots for eating, relaxing, reading and enjoying the beautiful outdoor environment. Outbuildings include a writing studio, a lattice house, and a garage workshop.
The delightful oasis of Creekbottom House sits near the commercial center of Glen Ellen, mere steps to restaurants, stores, and village conveniences. For walkers and bicyclists, the 40+ acres (and expanding) Sonoma Valley Regional Park is a short walk down an adjacent lane, with Jack London State Historical Park within a mile.
