The combined 9 bedrooms sleep 18 comfortably in luxurious beds with a total of 7 spa-inspired baths.
The Main House has four bedrooms (two kings, one queen and two twins), three luxurious marble and granite baths, a large kitchen-dining room-living room, and two outdoor gathering spaces, including one with a fire pit. The 12-foot ceilings create an expansive feel to the home, but the highlight of this historic home has to be the private, underground, fully stocked wine cellar!
The Carriage House is situated directly behind the Main House and consists of three bedrooms (two kings, two twins), two luxurious granite and marble baths, a well-appointed kitchen, dinning room, and living area. Enjoy two additional outdoor gathering areas, one of which has a fire pit.
The two cottage Suites (The Stables 1 & 2) are situated in the rear of the property and each have a romantic equine inspired decor, seating area for two, a king size bed with chandelier above, a luxurious marble and granite bath and a kitchenette with under counter fridge/freezer, sink, coffee maker, and microwave. A private fenced front porch with seating for two provides cozy seclusion and privacy. The Stables each have designated off-street parking spaces just steps from the door.
The Homestead Estate has a large driveway provides off-street parking for eight vehicles. This Homestead is in a prime location just one block off Main St. Shops, Wineries, and restaurants area all just a few minutes walk out the front door!
