A foodie’s and a design lover’s dream home is currently listed for sale. The three-bedroom, five-bathroom modern dwelling sits on 8.42 acres with a ¼-acre culinary garden. The listing price is $3,395,000.
Exceedingly minimal and modern, the home’s design was a collaboration between architect Lars Langberg, landscape design firm Merge Studio and the homeowner, New York fashion designer Viviane Farre. Farre came to Sebastopol in search of a property where she could grow her own food.
The home has a truly all-white interior. Glossy cabinets and shelves have a sleek profile and provide lots of storage. Window and triple-panel glass sliders allow heaps of sunlight indoors while also framing the outdoor setting — a massive and gently sloping lawn, a bountiful orchard and the Mayacamas mountains in the distance. Light wood floors throughout provide a gentle but sure anchor to the look.
Stainless steel appliances provide contrasting sparkle in the hardworking kitchen, which has two dishwashers. The design’s blank-slate quality allows the culinary happenings to take focus. Accents are pleasingly scant, like the green door and green chairs with a branch-like patterned back that echoes the foodie sentiment.
The ¼-acre garden gives life to the plan via its rows of herbs, fruits, vegetables and cutting flowers. With the use of hoop houses, the homeowner can grow many crops year round.
In addition to all the food-focused design, the home includes an auxiliary space that can host a different kind of jam: a music studio equipped for recording.
