Los Alamos

A rare find.  1930’s historic craftsmanship lovingly and intelligently preserved with all the comforts, luxuries and infrastructure for today. If you are in search of something of quality, something unique, something with soul that will stir your emotions and excite your imagination, this just might be what you are looking for.
 
A property that surprises at every turn.   Approach down a long, tree-lined driveway, past the historic stone olive mill and see this sprawling 1938 ranch complex.  Surrounded by large specimen trees of all types, this property is afforded beautiful privacy.  The 6000 sq. ft. main house is a stunning surprise. Entering the large living room, one is struck by the size of the open beams, the picture window facing the pool, an oversized fireplace and French doors leading to the back verandah and also to the tranquil and cool screened front porch.  Exquisite craftsmanship is exhibited in the wood detailing in this room and the adjoining library, which also has a fireplace and French doors to the summer porch.  The kitchen is truly a chef’s kitchen with Vermont soapstone and Carrera marble counters, copper sinks, an oversized island, 60” Viking range with double ovens, Viking refrigerator and wine cooler, three dishwasher drawers, two refrigerator drawers, a warming oven and pantry. Add in the butler’s pantry with a full dishwasher and you start to realize that this is not your ordinary ranch house.
 
The Master suite consists of a large bedroom with fireplace and Dutch doors leading to the front porch with views across the expansive lawn to the large pool and pool house.  In addition there is an oversized dressing room with granite topped island and a very tranquil bathroom finished with Carrera marble and tile, with beautiful views into the back yard with it’s majestic oaks, lawns and, again, privacy.
 
There are almost 4 acres of vines planted in 2000, both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In addition to the main compound, that leaves approximately 11 acres for additional vines, horses, olives, lavender or whatever you choose. There is a raised bed vegetable garden completely fenced to keep the resident chickens from getting the best bits.  Speaking of chickens, there is a large chicken coop and run although the owners let them have their run of the entire property.
 
A barn added by the owners, was built to exacting standards to blend seamlessly with the original buildings. It is capable of  supporting winery operations and also contains a large workshop.
 
Additional farm buildings include a green house, tractor barn and underground wine storage. There is also an oversized riding arena.
