About this property

Sanctuary on top of the world

The stunning wine country estate above the clouds is perched on top of a mountain on the ridge with spectacular 275 degree views. Surrounded by vineyards & forests, this property is serenely quiet. Relax, Unwind & Experience the gorgeous Sunrises and Sunsets at this unique property.

This 4500 square foot, 'Arts & Crafts' style house is built entirely out of old-growth redwood, (even the floors and ceilings). Artwork and European antiques make it a unique home- unlike any other generic rental house you will see. Above all, its a very special experience with transformative energy. For wine lovers, there are several boutique wineries within walking distance in this coveted micro climate appellation. Equally easy access to both Sonoma and St.Helena/Napa. Serene surroundings make this private property a true getaway.

Aside from being a really special place perched on top of a mountain, the house has many amenities. There is a pool (not heated or fenced in with no safety cover), hot tub & sprawling lawns with a croquet & bocce ball set. There's an outdoor gas grill on the front wrap around deck with extraordinary views of the valley floor. 3+ outdoor seating areas to eat or lounge. Inside of the house there's a fire place and a gourmet kitchen with all the kitchen devices you could want. The main house has 4 bedrooms & 4.5 bathrooms- 3 bedrooms have en suite bathrooms (1 king & 2 queens) and the one bedroom with two full sized alcove beds has its own bathroom across the hall with no other bedrooms on that floor. All bedrooms are far apart for privacy. The house sleeps 8 people and there's also a pool house that can be rented for an extra fee that sleeps an additional 2 guests.

Ask about custom options.

Wonderful!
This is not a 5 * property, but if you're looking for character, art and plenty of charm, it's the place for you. Be aware the drive up the mountain can be a little treacherous, but once you're there, the views are magical! We definitely will be back!

Vacation in St Helena
Lovely home with outstanding views surrounded by vineyards. The 5 mile drive up the mountain is a 20-25 minute drive out of St Helena. The house was well-appointed and comfortable for our group of 4 couples. Would return in the future.

Utterly Magical
My family and I spent a week here and every moment was magical. The views were amazing and the pool was refreshing, the kids barely got out of it. The property itself is quiet, secluded and filled with fantastic landscaping and places to sit, read or enjoy a moment. The house itself is large, our group of 6 could spread out with everyone having their own private space. It too was filled with magic, artwork, ceramics unique spaces and every amenity we needed. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it was the perfect quiet family retreat.
