Former Salesforce CFO Lists Sonoma Estate for $12.9 Million

The Bay Area tech executive's 17-acre Sonoma home features multiple kitchens, fire pits and a bocce ball court for Wine Country entertaining.


The Sonoma estate of Graham Smith, former chief financial officer of Salesforce, is currently listed for sale. On 17 hilltop acres with valley views and 7,370 square feet of living space, the home and guesthouse are listed for $12,900,000.

The clean-lined dwelling, with wood cladding and a series of mono-pitched roofs, was designed by Cahill Studio and built in 2015 by Landers Curry.

The home centers on a great room featuring a Hersh Design light fixture made of spun molten glass, an Ortal three-sided glass fireplace and pocket doors that provide a wide-open connection to the yard. The kitchen area has Snaidero Italian cabinetry topped with Carrara marble. A back kitchen offers space for food prep and staging. It includes a built-in coffee system, double ovens and a Grohe Blue sparkling water faucet.

Cultivar Landscape Architecture, formerly Roche + Roche, designed the landscape to blend with the rugged natural setting. The grounds include raised garden beds, a bocce ball court and three gas-start fire pits. A modern concrete fountain by Sebastopol’s Bohemian Stoneworks adds a weighty statement to a lush patch of plantings. 

Additional amenities include solar panels, an AI-enabled security system and a fire suppression system.
