Build Your Dream Home While Living It Up in This Modern Glen Ellen Abode

The stage is set for more construction at this Glen Ellen estate, featuring a small home with plenty of dreamy, modern amenities.


A modern home perched in the hills above Glen Ellen is currently listed for $1,850,000. The one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom home sits on 2.7 acres and is described in the real estate listing as the property’s “second dwelling” to live in while building a dream home on the remaining acreage. While the stage is set for more construction, the existing 980-square-foot home is plenty dreamy.

Sweeping views are a nice start — visible through the wall of windows in the modern structure. A single sloped roof and stone cladding offer a contemporary feel.

French doors provide access to the deck with a glass balustrade for unfettered valley-gazing. Indoor finishes in grays and concrete deliver a sturdy but quiet counterpoint to the lush terrain that’s viewable from every spot in the house. Redwood cladding on the ceiling warms up the look further. The tiered yard has a paved deck with a spa.

The home includes a three-car garage on which a second-story guest house can be built. An RV hookup is available, too.

Modern amenities include radiant heated floors, remote-operated irrigation and lighting, business class internet and a sound system. 

The home is just a short drive into the heart of Glen Ellen, the Wine Country village adored by locals and visitors alike.
