35100 HWY 128

This is the first time this owner-built, three-bedroom, three and a half-bathroom Cloverdale home nestled within lush, rolling hills, including a boutique, small-lot vineyard has been listed. What a beautiful estate it is, with its panoramic views over Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.

Situated off Highway 128, west of Cloverdale and 2,000 feet above Alexander Valley on just over 19 acres, the 3782-square foot Tuscan-style home boasts stunning gardens, a circular driveway with gracious fountain, lush vines, giant oaks and olive trees o’ plenty. There’s even a porte-cochère – so you can drive or ride your preferred ‘steed’ through the ‘center’ of your new home. What fun!

The home’s ground floor is completely tiled and therefore low maintenance. Featuring a vast great room and adjoining dining room with vaulted cathedral ceiling. The expansive custom kitchen boasts concrete counters, breakfast nook and an elegant cellar. The thoughtful and convenient mud room – adjacent to the porte-cochère – includes a doggie washing area – ‘paw’-fect to hose down your muddy best friend or even your boots after frolicking about the estate. Head upstairs and retreat to the master suite with mesmerizing views over Alexander Valley from both the bedroom itself and the tub! You’ll also find a media room complete with a large projector screen, another bedroom and an office/den.

Step outside once more and revel in the gorgeous outdoor kitchen with sparkling pool and hot tub, feeling smug that the solar power system is making the best use of the Californian sun as you keep reminding yourself that you are indeed in the US of A, and not in Europe!

Currently a reputable, working vineyard & formerly Pendleton Estate Winery, now a vacation rental with fabulous rental income.
Valid permits are included with the sale allowing for a licensed winery and/or tasting room (up to 500 cases), should you choose. And if viticulture isn’t for you, the 500-case-limit permit and license are transferable.
(Buyer to verify transferability of current permit and licenses.)

Opt to live in seclusion or consider opening your stunning abode to tout your wares – be they the by-product from the 4.1 (approx.) acres of Alexander AVA hillside Petite Sirah, Mourv`edre, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot vines. If you’re new to the viticulture game, or just in need of new or more equipment, the owners are open to negotiating inclusion of their small-scale production facility equipment.

Or perhaps you’d rather someone else tend to the grapes while you pursue other hobbies or talents? Cloverdale’s wondrous charms have been known to summon the creative juices of its inhabitants, so who knows? You needn’t rush into anything. Mull it over on the stunning European front patio as you pinch yourself and question where you are. California or Austria?
