Modern Italian Villa surrounded by Vineyards and Gardens, w/ Pool & Heated Spa | Villa in Sonoma

What We Love About Villa Casterno
Grand in scale with contemporary styling, original works of art and cheerful ambiance, this luxurious gated vineyard estate offers secluded privacy and sweeping views of the Sonoma Valley. (4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, plus office, and pool house).
The exterior architecture is modeled after a modern Italian villa and the landscaping is designed to capture the stunning views as well as highlight the elegant swimming pool and spa. (Not covered, not well suited for children under 8 years old--note that pool is solar heated Memorial Day through Labor Day, only) Gated, with a main residence and guesthouse on the property, there is ample room for up to 8 guests.
The main house is approximately 3,000 square feet and has 3 bedrooms (all upstairs). Downstairs is an office and a well-designed kitchen with all the amenities for enthusiastic cooks--the kitchen and dining area has recently been expanded and remodeled completely, the kitchen with all-new sub-zero appliances. The spacious, contemporary and stylish dining room seats 8 for dinner and is an inviting room to host beautiful wine country meals.
A large living room with wrap around decks takes full advantage of the property's hillside location. From the living area guests can enjoy mountain, vineyard and pool views. If you can be tempted away from the natural beauty just beyond your windows, there is a large flat-screen TV for your enjoyment.
Upstairs the generous master suite has a king bed and a flat screen TV. A spacious private terrace offers the perfect seating area to enjoy the magical vista surrounding you. The master bath has abundant natural light and has been remodeled with a free standing tub and separate shower and toilet.
The 2nd and 3rd cheery bedrooms have queen beds and each has their own ensuite bathroom (with shower). A lovely large terrace off one of the guest rooms offers a relaxing sunset view of the mountain and vineyards.
There is a large office and separate TV room downstairs for a private workspace or for quiet television viewing.
This home has an incredibly inviting, comfortable layout that takes full advantage of the flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces--in large part thanks to the well-placed private terraces, wrap around decks and many windows throughout.
An outdoor patio with a dining table for 8 plus multiple lounge chairs and a large fire-pit is the perfect place to enjoy summer evenings alfresco, under the olive trees and by the vines. There is also a lovely new bocce court set in the vineyard. The pool and beautifully landscaped yard are screened with oaks, olive and lemon trees, birds of paradise and a private Zinfandel vineyard for your own little taste of wine country.
Additionally there is a large, charming and contemporary guesthouse with one bedroom and a full bath as well as a kitchenette and bonus hobby room. The bedroom suite is on the second floor and has a king bed, couch, large flat screen TV and french doors that lead to an expansive view of the vineyards with a lovely private balcony for reading or dining. Downstairs there is a bonus or hobby room with a flat-screen TV, and queen sofa bed. There is workout room with a Lifecycle bike, bench and weights.
This stunning and private 1.7 acre estate is a rare gem. It is ideally located in the heart of Sonoma's wine country halfway between Kenwood/Glen Ellen and the historic square in downtown Sonoma close to vineyards, wineries, tasting rooms and restaurants.
