Weekend getaways to the Northern California Wine Country are great, but hardcore fans of Sonoma County‘s bright Chardonnays and complex Pinot Noirs may crave a year-round property where they can uncork a bottle or two in the comfort of home but have all the amenities and services of a five-star resort at their fingertips.
Luckily, a sizable abode at the Montage Healdsburg has just hit the market for $9.9 million. The turnkey residence, known as Estate Home 20 and listed by Ohana Realty, sits among the property’s heritage oaks, giving it a sort of deluxe treehouse vibe. That motif is helped along by the many wooden elements utilized both inside and out, while glass-enclosed hallways connecting the home’s three wings add a modern touch.

The home is spread across two levels spanning more than 15,000 square feet. The entrance is on the upper level, and, right off the bat, it’s clear that you’re in Wine Country—statement bottle storage flanks the entrance to the living room, turning your prized collection into a conversation piece. A large, sand-colored fireplace anchors the living space, which flows into the dining room and chef’s kitchen. Here, a textured backsplash adds some visual interest to the wooden cabinetry and marble island.
Two primary suites are situated on the upper level as well. Both come with serene bathrooms, ample closet space, and access to covered terraces. Just one, however, opens up to a secluded outdoor shower for alfresco rinses. Down on the lower level, there are three additional bedrooms where your friends and family can have a little privacy. A dark, more masculine media room spills out to the lower terrace, and there’s an airy office where you can take meetings.
