The Transformation Of A 1910's Farmhouse To A Vineyard Estate

In 2002, our client purchased a run down 1910's farmhouse in the Russian River area of Sonoma county and began the 14 year journey to restore it to an amazing wine country estate.

Here is a photo of the front of the farmhouse when they purchased the property:

This was the back of the farmhouse:

This was the backyard before they put in the 60-foot solar heated lap pool and the neighboring house, which they also purchased and renovated:

A large portion of the back of the home was removed and a 1,000 square foot terrace was installed.

All of the windows were also removed and replaced with custom wood windows to retain the farmhouse look:

Nanowall doors were installed to provide a seamless transition from the inside to the outside of the home:

Ambient heated flooring was also installed:

A carpenter beefed up the entry and the columns:

A second floor with an additional bedroom was added to the guest house:

Lastly, a big red barn was built that is not only scenic but also functional as it includes an elevator and an in-law unit with a bathroom and kitchen. 

It also includes a temperature controlled 1,500 bottle wine cellar:

As you can see, the transformation of the property is nothing short of astounding.
