Valle Vista, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's architecturally splendid home in Sonoma County had its moment in the design spotlight in a 2008 issue of Architectural Digest. This home is positioned on top of approximately 19 acres and is located minutes from Sonoma Plaza. This private three-bedroom home brings a little urban sexiness to the countryside. It was created by architects Harvey and Conrad in collaboration with renowned designer Ron Mann (check out more pictures on his website). Concrete and glass are warmed by the surrounding landscape and by the use of interesting textures in the furniture choices. The property also has an equally well-designed one-bedroom guest house. Pleasure-centered features include a pool with stunning bucolic views, hot tub, wine cave and a massive car barn. There's plenty of seating in this house and not much of it looks comfortable but beauty isn't always comfy. This home was listed at $12 million but recently had a price cut to $9.9 million.

The beautiful Château Vallonnée has vineyard views in scenic Sonoma, California. The three-bedroom main house was given a glamorous renovation in 2007 that gives it an amped-up country appeal that combines cozy stuffed chairs, a bright color scheme and dashes of modern art. The property has a separate pool house and a truly epic infinity edge pool with its own grape arbor. The home is a perfect wine country fantasy with a country kitchen and rooms that open out onto mountain views. This home is listed at $5.85 million.
