Property Description

Beyond the gates, a long enchanting driveway opens up, revealing a classic adobe hacienda framed by an enclosed courtyard and elegant fountain. Set upon 10 acres of pristine, park-like grounds surrounded by picturesque vineyards and sweeping valley views, this extraordinary estate represents the pinnacle of luxury country living. Thoughtfully reimagined to blend timeless architecture with modern sophistication, the property offers an unparalleled lifestyle where privacy, elegance and recreation exist in perfect harmony. At the heart of the estate is the adobe-inspired residence, a study in refined warmth and superior attention to detail. Rich wood floors, soaring ceilings, custom cabinetry and four stately fireplaces create an atmosphere of understated elegance throughout. The floor plan seamlessly balances formal living and dining spaces with intimate reading and media rooms. The spacious living room looks out to a stone patio and casual seating areas that are enhanced by the park-like landscape, mountain and vineyard views. A light-filled chef's kitchen features premium appliances, expansive marble work surfaces, artisanal cabinetry and a large pantry. Collectors will appreciate the 2000 bottle temperature controlled wine room, perfectly situated for hosting elegant or casual entertainment. Enjoy an effortless transition from the kitchen and breakfast area to a semi-enclosed and covered patio with beautiful outdoor dining areas enhanced by a Santa Maria style BBQ built into the adobe wall. From the expansive outdoor entertaining area, one appreciates the mountain vistas and vineyard views that embrace the property. Meandering pathways lead to curated destinations across the estate including a charming stone fire pit and a picturesque pond complete with a dock and boats. The personal fruit orchard is rich with citrus trees of all varieties. A formal dining room, with two discrete enclosed bar areas incorporates an old-world courtyard and fountain off of a bank of garden doors. The residence is further enhanced by a sophisticated media room with a Phillip Jeffries brass hand stamped linen ceiling covering. It provides the perfect sanctuary for reading, streaming movies or just relaxing. Conveniently located is a separate office space with a half-bath nearby. Stunning Marmorino Plaster walls are featured throughout the home. The spacious primary suite with its own fireplace and French doors to the patio has a luxurious spa-like bath with marble counters and custom cabinetry. There are two additional bedroom suites for family or guests, each with its own ensuite baths. High-end artisanal lighting can be found throughout the residence and no expense was spared for lighting, flooring, hardware and plaster finishes. Finca Encantada, a charmed estate, is a haven from the hustle and bustle of a busy world. Car collectors will appreciate the attached 4 car garage with extensive storage, 3-ton split climate control system and utility sinks. In addition, the ranch features a 5000 square foot finished garage and workshop with 4 over-sized roll-up doors, two private offices with ½ bath, a large professional gym and endless possibilities. The equestrian improvements include a 2 stall barn with tack and feed rooms plus irrigated pasture turn-outs. There is ample space for an arena or additional barn if desired. A large hay and equipment storage barn is located conveniently at the back of the property with paved access for all equipment. Versatility and Sustainability A beautifully updated three bedroom, two bath secondary residence adds remarkable versatility, serving as a guest house, caretaker's quarters or an income generating opportunity. The estate's long-term sustainability is secured by two independent water sources including a private well for irrigation. This one-of-a-kind ranch estate is a legacy property of extraordinary distinction, offering a complete lifestyle experience and unrivaled opportunity for luxury valley living.
