With almost 60 acres of lush Sonoma Valley acreage surrounding an exquisite Mediterranean-style estate, 18730 Canyon Road is a luxurious statement home and peaceful retreat offering meandering paths that wind past ponds dotted with lily pads, mature forests, rose gardens, fountains, and a private stone chapel. This 3 bedroom home across 6,135 square feet provides ample space for both family and friends. Entertain guests with ease as the resort-style pool and outdoor entertaining space connect beautifully to the interior spaces through walls of arched French doors. A large custom kitchen and an airy open-plan layout provide function and flow to everyday life, while the master suite features a private balcony that beckons to relish the mountain, valley, and North Bay views. With a barn and fenced in equestrian facilities, possibilities abound for horse lovers and equestrian enthusiasts. Prime acreage, an impeccable estate, and endless amenities create the perfect playground for a dream Northern California escape.
“I’m excited to partner with Concierge Auctions. Having watched several sales that the firm has executed in San Francisco and Northern California over the last few years, it is clear that they are the leader in the space,” stated Scott Smith, seller. “We look forward to adding our sale to the list of successes in the area.”
Additional features include a stone and stucco exterior; intricate iron entry gate; multiple stone fireplaces; enormous arched steel windows and French doors; custom millwork; open plan living and dining; custom inlaid tile and wide plank hardwood floors; soaring beamed ceilings; a master sanctuary with wall of glass, spa bathroom, freestanding bathtub, and double vanity; chef’s kitchen featuring custom ceiling-height, glass-front cabinetry, an expansive central island with butcher block countertop, skylight, ample storage including a built-in wine rack, and luxurious appliances; cozy family den off the kitchen that opens to the outdoors; “glamping” cabins; stone chapel with French stained-glass windows; gorgeous swimming pool and entertaining area; walled garden, rose garden, and fruit orchards; two ponds, a fountain, and extensive walking paths throughout acreage; and views of Mount Diablo, Sonoma Valley, and North Bay.
Although Sonoma is known for its sprawling vineyards, wine isn’t the only star of this region. Iconic blue skies, abundant sunshine, verdant landscapes, rugged coastline, and delicious locally-produced food provide all the makings of the good life. With 18730 Canyon Road six miles from charming and historic Sonoma Plaza, enjoy Spanish colonial-style architecture, world-class farm-to-table dining, artisan farmer’s markets, high-end shopping, and even gallery hopping. Breweries and distilleries also dot the landscape for those looking for a change in pace from the full-bodied cabs, lush pinot noirs, and refreshing chardonnays. For outdoor adventure, miles of bike and ride trails seek out exploration. Head west to Bodega Bay to watch the Pacific Ocean crash into the rocky shoreline, or south to San Francisco. Both are around an hour’s drive away. For every mood, Sonoma Valley will rise to meet it and then some.
“I’m simply thrilled at the opportunity to work with Concierge Auctions on the sale of this spectacular home,” stated Freeman. “This property is the epitome of Sonoma living. It boasts over 57 acres, equestrian facilities, and a resort-style pool for outdoor entertaining. We look forward to showcasing it to the firm’s global database of buyers and, ultimately, a successful auction.”
18730 Canyon Road is available for in-person showings daily by appointment and virtual open houses and private showings.
