The Nest

Nestled in the middle of the internationally acclaimed Wine Country sits a rustic little villa recently remodeled with all the modern conveniences of a new home.

You’ll feel like lovebirds escaping to your own cozy romantic retreat watching the sunset over the award winning vineyards of the world famous Wine Country all while sipping the finest nectar in the world that this valley has to produce!

This exclusive one-acre property is located in the middle of the Wine Country. It’s rough rocky hillside was finessed by it’s former owner, a Sicilian artisan, who tamed the terrain carving out unique vista points with a series of rock walls and staircases reminiscent of his home county and the hillside villas of Tuscany. This little rustic villa was recently rebuilt to include modern amenities. It’s expansion was designed by a Marin architect to enhance one very important feature - the views! The home integrates clean modern design with a rustic touch, such as a rock wall kitchen, travertine floors and a cellar door to a loft bedroom as a nod to the terroir’s history. The property was excavated to help build part of the Winery across the road which is one of the oldest wineries in the valley, surviving prohibition. It’s an easy stroll to sample some of the valley’s history and tantalize your taste buds with a plethora of wines.

This cozy retreat is your home in the Wine Country. Rest, relax and enjoy the vineyard views as you curl up on the leather couch to take a Nap after a day of tasting in the hot sun.
