Property Description

Shaped by its hillside setting above Sonoma Valley in the Moon Mountain AVA, this contemporary agrarian estate by EAG Studio brings architecture, sustainability, and land stewardship into natural alignment. Completed in 2022, the home is composed of interconnected volumes, expansive walls of glass, and carefully framed sightlines that direct the surrounding landscape and light with intention. Panoramic views span Sonoma Valley to the Mayacamas Mountains beyond, while year-round sunsets provide an ever-changing backdrop with every season. Three en-suite bedrooms, a private guest casita, a wine cellar and lounge, and additional sleeping accommodations provide flexibility for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living. Indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to function as one, opening to broad terraces, a heated pool, and gathering areas that invite both quiet reflection and entertaining. From poolside dinners on the main terrace to evenings around the fire pit overlooking the meadow, the property is designed to be experienced as much outdoors as within. The grounds extend beyond the residence into a productive landscape of fruit trees, vineyard terraces, raised garden beds, beehives, and a greenhouse, creating a meaningful connection between the home and the land it occupies. Equal parts retreat and working landscape, the estate offers opportunities for stewardship, cultivation, and enjoyment throughout the seasons. Engineered for long-term sustainability and resilience, the property is supported by a 43-panel solar array, four whole-home energy storage batteries, solar-thermal pool heating, and a private well with advanced filtration. Thoughtfully designed to balance modern comfort with environmental responsibility, the estate supports a high degree of energy independence and operational resilience. Just minutes from Glen Ellen, Kenwood, and Sonoma Plaza, and approximately one hour from San Francisco, the estate presents a distinctive combination of contemporary architecture, privacy, and sustainable Wine Country living within one of Sonoma Valley's most sought-after settings.
