A newly listed home in Glen Ellen sits on three creekside acres densely packed with oak trees — a setting that offers tranquility and inspiration fit for a world-renowned novelist.
The home is a modern rebuild of what was originally the Wake Robin Lodge, where author Jack London and his wife Charmian lived for a few years in the early 20th century. Now a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 4,311-square-foot estate, the asking price is $4,950,000.
An octagonal tower, which holds the living room and guest room, mimics a similar tower that was part of the original circa-1890 lodge.
The current home is grandly scaled and styled with high ceilings, white oak floors and numerous windows, allowing for a dramatic connection between indoors and outdoors. Repurposed wood beams offer a strong rustic feel, but modern details — white walls, spaciousness and unornamented lines — offer a sleek airiness.
The grounds include a pool and spa, a pergola, a barn with a horseshoe pit and bocce court, plus raised gardening beds and an orchard.
