ELEGANT INTERIORS: Contributing to a sense of authentic detail are towers, turrets, stonework, and high windows set in dormers. Totaling 29 rooms, the house is endowed with the very latest technologically advanced systems and features, ensuring that the expansive living spaces are exceptionally comfortable as well as eminently functional. The floor plan is equally suited to hosting grand-scale gatherings and gracious family living. Distressed walnut floors grace the great room, which is warmed by a limestone fireplace. Served by a bright, airy, and fully stocked chef’s kitchen, the dining room invites any manner of entertaining. The library’s serene ambience is enhanced with antiqued walnut doors and a walnut herringbone floor. The wine cellar takes its cue from antiquity, with a terra-cotta tile floor more than 500 years old, massive stone arches, vaulted ceilings, and hand-hewn wrought-iron light fixtures. Appointed with floor-to-ceiling distressed panelling, the vineyard office offers an elegant ­environment from which to conduct business.

LAVISH ACCOMMODATIONS: Five family and guest bedrooms on the first floor provide excellent personal quarters. Privately sited on the second level, the refined master suite incorporates a sleeping area with vineyard views, a peaceful sitting area with a cozy fireplace, and a luxurious bath that features a tub and separate shower, two commodes, a sauna, a pair of immense walk-in closets, and one of the home’s many balconies. Also found on the second floor are a children’s playroom, an exercise and gym room, and a two-bedroom guest suite with a large vaulted sitting area.

GRACEFUL GROUNDS: Lined with liquid amber trees, the estate’s driveway winds through roughly 40 acres of organically grown red varietal wine grapes, including Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Formal rose gardens, an herb garden, and sweeping lawns are all meticulously manicured. Numerous patios afford delightful gathering spots, and several fountains add to the property’s inviting allure. A pool pavilion graciously accommodates outdoor living with a full bath, and is complimented by a trellised lawn amphitheater and a tennis court. The garage with six oversized bays fronts a beautiful motor court.
