Autostrada 4447 Sant'elena

Sited on a sun-struck knoll on 18+ acres surrounded by prime mountain Cabernet vineyards, this light-filled hillside residence offers a wonderful sense of seclusion with w/360’ views in every direction. Architecture by the renowned Andrew Batey, whose designs were inspired by centuries of European classical rural architecture, emphasizes symmetry and simplicity. Simple and clean Interiors flow gracefully from the front entrance to the calm, expansive rooms and onto the terraces. Possibly one of Andrew Batey’s last creations, this home signals a bold new direction for modern wine-country living. The private and secluded estate features an enormous great room with French doors opening to the terraces, French limestone floors span the main level; an artisan-carved limestone fireplace enhances the ambiance, a grand Italian foyer chandelier, masterfully crafted cabinetry, and custom-crafted metal railings and exotic lighting fixtures throughout, and spacious primary suite with luxurious his and her baths and dressing rooms. The heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen with dramatic Cistercian ceiling arches influenced by the old abbeys of France, imported Costa Esmeralda Granite counters, Wolf range, Sub-zero, Bosch dishwasher, custom-crafted cabinets, and elegant European touches throughout. Exquisitely landscaped grounds with a beautiful pond, magnificent views of its Cabernet vineyard, verdant Palm trees, and fruit orchards. Approx. 1,200 sq. ft. studio/workshop, custom wine cellar, separate guest house, and a productive 160 GPM commercial well for bountiful organic harvests. Easy access to Hwy 29, a rare chance to create an ultimate modern European vineyard estate compound near Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury resorts, and award-winning wineries.
