A gated estate on seventeen acres in Calistoga’s western hills, set at 1,200 feet in a valley of its own. A six-bedroom California ranch-style main home wraps a heated pool and spa, with views to the Mayacamas from nearly every angle. A private family resort, with this degree of seclusion, this close to the valley floor, almost never comes available. The property has operated as a sought-after vacation rental generating remarkable income that the new owner is positioned to pursue. Few estates offer privacy at this scale. Fewer still arrive having a track record of notable earning potential. The approach climbs through the gentle hills to a gate, and past it, to a property that reveals itself slowly. The main home opens to a great room beneath high ceilings, warm oak underfoot, an eat-in kitchen anchored by a single slab of ancient California walnut, and indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces that flow into one another. The great room looks over a lawn shaded by old Black and Live oaks. Set apart from the main house is a modular high tech structure, a private, high-end two-bedroom guest residence with its own pool. It gives the estate a second center of gravity: a place for guests to stay without intruding, a retreat for the owner, or the quarters that let the main home earn while its owner remains on the land. A tennis court, solar with backup power, and reverse-osmosis water treatment complete a property built to run independently on a remarkable infrastructure base. It is uncommon for a single property to hold the potential for a family retreat, a private compound for guests, and an estate that has shown it can support itself. All of it gated, at moderate elevation, a short drive from the valley floor, and all at the owner’s discretion.
