In the heart of historic Bennett Valley just 47 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge sits one of Sonoma County's finest private estates. Located up a private gated road, this graceful and level knoll-top retreat, situated on 5+ acres, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the nearby mountains and vineyards. To the east, Villa Bella Vista is bordered by ancient moss-covered stonewalls and the serene open spaces of Annadel State Park. As you enter the gated grounds past the manicured Premium Syrah vineyards, you are greeted by a large circular Arizona sandstone courtyard surrounded by stretches of lush green lawns, brilliant gardens, fountains, sculptured hedges, fruit-bearing olive and lemon trees and walking paths that lead to a spectacular stone gazebo that provides breathtaking views of the mountains and vineyards below. Completed in xxxx, the main residence of approximately 7,500 square feet has a sense of sophisticated elegance and uncompromised detail. Villa Bella Vista has eleven exquisitely designed rooms, four en-suite bedrooms, plus an additional two half bathrooms. The kitchen is unmistakably the heart of the home, featuring an eating area that sits in a light-filled rotunda that soars 30 feet in height. The Pool House with full bath and ample storage, overlooks the elegant swimming pool featuring imported lion head fountains and the spacious outdoor kitchen and entertainment area. The luxurious 830 square foot guesthouse is quiet and private with a large living room with stone fireplace, dining area, superb kitchen, separate bedroom suite with full bathroom and terrace. All of the living space of the main house and the guesthouse is on one level with the exception of the private office perched above the master bedroom suite and the game room over the four-car garage.
