Private Vineyard Hilltop Estate

The 6-bedroom 5-bathroom centrally air-conditioned and radiant-floor heated main house was originally built in 1995 by Pat Kuleto the legendary designer and restaurant impresario from San Francisco sparing no expense on the finest craftsmen and artisans and the best materials available worldwide. The house and pool house and property were painstakingly reimagined for modern living while embracing and respecting this architectural masterpiece.

It is comprised of defined spaces that include the “the Big Hall” the main seating area with 25’ ceilings, a dramatic 10’ high limestone fireplace (made from imported Italian million-year-old fossil limestone), and Italian travetine floors.

The large dining room is dominated by both a one-piece hand hewn 12’ black walnut dining table and an 18’ artisan-crafted wood light fixture dubbed the “Candle Log Ra”.
