I admit when I first saw this house (estate) I thought it had been mis-categorized - with the large circular drive and fountain it could very well be an upscale hotel. But we know better; scroll through to see what this mansion is all about...

Coming up to the entrance, you're greeted by these very solid looking, custom front door. I'm partial to the rock columns on either side - they break the predictabilty of the traditional Ionic ones. Click through to get inside...

Entryway. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
The house itself is, obviously, large, but I didn't expect this entryway. It seems as though you'd feel that you've entered a library - or museum - and should speak a little bit softer than you normally would. Scroll through to see if you need to kee it down in the rest of the house...

Stepping into the living room, things get a lot more relaxed. While they could have played with the height of the ceiling and carried through with a grand, ornate space, this room is spacious, but cozy. Click to see more...

The formal dining room has wide French doors that can be opened on a balmy day (or evening) to enjoy the scent of the wildflowers from the nearby meadow, or pick up a breeze during one of the hot Sonoma County summer days (your guests will thank you). Click through to see the kitchen...

Kitchen. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Always my favorite room, this chef's kitchen does not disappoint. Granite countertops, Oak cabinets, and a granite countered island are just the beginning. Scroll to see another...

Speaking of expansive, I think this master bedroom is as large as my bungalow. Notice the soaking tub in the far corner. Click for another view...

Well, there hasto be a fireplace, right? It's already difficult to get up on Monday mornings, but if I had this bedroom it would be near impossible - who'd want to leave? Scroll to check out a guest room.

While not nearly as large as the master bedroom, the guest rooms in the house are no less comfortable. Each room is en suite, and the bathrooms for each are all well appointed. Click to see another way guests get taken well care of...

Long term guests may want to entertain too, so a cozy dining table is just right for a light lunch or casual dinner. We're not done just yet, click to see the bedroom...

Just another bedroom I wouldn't want to leave on a Monday morning. The fireplace is great, but this cottage has central heat and air conditioning, so whoever stays will be comfortable no matter what. There's a couple more things to see, keep scrolling...

Outside the guest house, you walk across this meadow to get to the garage. You may not think that's a big deal, but click to find out...

As you can tell, there's plenty of room for your tools, so if you enjoy doing your own tune ups, this is the place to go. But wait, this is more than just a garage. Click to find out...

There is a second story, and it is a workout/rec room/media room (party room?) or anything you'd like it to be. Scroll to get back to the main house...

Heading back to the main house, the rear yard is set up for kicking back and catching some rays. After walking through just a fraction of what this estate has to offer, I'm fairly certain a good rest is just the ticket. While this house doesn't currently have a pool, there's plenty of room for the new homeowner to have one put in.
