Yorkville | $4.5 Million
A 1970 house with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a three-bedroom guesthouse, on a 412-acre lot
This property includes several structures — the main house, updated by the sellers; a rustic ranch house that serves as guest quarters; and a stable — with power supplied by a solar system and a generator.
It is about a half-hour drive from several wineries and tasting rooms. The shops and restaurants of Boonville are less than 15 minutes away. Driving to Mendocino takes a little more than an hour. The Bay Area cities are about two and a half hours away.
Size: 2,800 square feet
Price per square foot: $1,607
Indoors: From the street, a private road leads to the main house.
The primary entrance, off a wide wood deck, is directly into an open living-and-dining space with high ceilings, hardwood floors, tall windows overlooking the property and a large fireplace.
Behind the fireplace is an updated kitchen with a Viking range, a center island with a butcher-block counter and access to a wet bar and wine storage area. A hallway off the kitchen leads to the primary suite, which has a gas fireplace, a private deck and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. At the other end of the hall is a sunny guest room with another full bathroom. A mudroom is also in this part of the house.
The third bedroom is off the living room. It has the use of a bathroom with a claw-foot tub.
The fourth bedroom is on the lower level, with its own exterior entrance, an attached sitting room and a full bathroom near the pool, so guests can have access to indoor facilities without using the main entrance.
The guesthouse has three bedrooms and its own kitchen.
Outdoor space: The property is more than 400 acres, with a pond and a spring. Both the main house and the guesthouse are within walking distance of a saltwater swimming pool, an outdoor fireplace and a patio overlooking the treetops. Private hiking trails lead to the site’s highest point, which offers sweeping views of the area.
Taxes: $58,056 (estimated)
