A Forestville home, built by the family that lived there for decades, is currently listed for sale. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, pool and pool house sit on 3.53 acres. The estate is listed for $4,250,000.
The grounds include a lake with a dock, redwood trees — including a fairy ring grove — and a hand-planted vineyard of Petit Sirah and Sangiovese. Grapes can be processed on the property’s private crush pad and wine processing room.
The property centers entertainment. Adjacent to the pool and spa is a pool house with an island-style bar and a covered outdoor kitchen, fireplace and bar.
Built in 1994, the residence is rooted in traditional style with vertical siding, double-hung windows and an iron scroll gate that runs along sections of the rounded wraparound porch. Floors are Douglas fir and cabinets are handmade. A stone-clad wine cellar sits beneath the home and can house up to 90 cases of wine.
The property includes a two-stall equestrian barn that opens up to fenced-in pasture.
