CUSTOM SONOMA RANCH PROPERTY OFFERING ONE-OF-A-KIND LIFESTYLE

As you pass through the main gate welcoming you onto the Rancho Mineiro land, you’re immediately immersed in the peaceful setting. The mature oak trees and natural surroundings provide a private and serene feel, while being just minutes from wineries, restaurants, shopping and more. This property consists of approximately 50 acres of wooded land, and it runs along Carriger Creek. There are miles of private walking and equestrian trails, which adds to the allure of this spectacular property.

Another gate opens onto the driveway and leads you to the main house. A limestone pathway brings you to the main entry, where you’ll find a beautiful Tibetan door opening onto the spacious great room. The high ceilings and large windows and doors allow natural light to fill the room and the open layout creates a wonderful space for gathering. The wood-burning fireplace, stained concrete flooring and alabaster chandelier lighting are some of the many creative design elements found in this space.

The dining area opens onto an impressive kitchen featuring a large island with seating, storage and a prep sink. There are both butcher block and Brazilian gold marble countertops, as well as abundant storage in the custom cabinetry. Two built-in Viking ovens, a Viking gas cooktop and two dishwashers simplify entertaining and cleanup. The large skylights invite in the sunlight and give the space a soft glow. A sliding door separates the kitchen from the media room, which opens onto the back patio.

A flight of stairs leads you to the second level of the home where you’ll find four spacious bedrooms. The first bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are two additional guest rooms, which share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The large laundry room is also on this level, which is another example of the home’s thoughtful design.

The primary suite has a breathtaking framed view of Mt. Diablo from its charming covered balcony. The bedroom has a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring a tub and walk-in shower. There is reclaimed hickory flooring flowing throughout this second level of the home providing a rustic contrast to the concrete floors on the first level.

One of the many desirable features of this home is the flow of indoor and outdoor living. The large sliding doors invite you to experience the sights and sounds that surround you. The stone patio and built-in heated pool provide a tranquil space to unwind or gather on the warm summer days. A covered outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with a grill, dishwasher and barstool seating. A private office is next to the outdoor kitchen, and it has a full bathroom as well as another washer and dryer. This is an ideal work from home space or pool house.

As you begin to explore the expansive grounds you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to a different place. Beautiful landscaping, peaceful trails, and wildlife greet you at every turn. The two ponds on the property are home to many fish, including colorful carp, and a variety of different birds. You’ll likely see swans, ducks, geese and the occasional green heron visiting. A horse corral and barn are located near the driveway gate, and the barn also has a two bedroom apartment above.

This beautiful land has been carefully and thoughtfully preserved. The attention and love that have been put into each detail is a vital part of the property’s story. Stones were laid by hand to create the peaceful walking trails. Roses, vegetables, and a wide variety of citrus and fruit trees continue to be harvested and enjoyed by many. An enclosed secret garden is located down one of the paths. This enchanting space is full of lush greenery and flowers which provide gorgeous floral arrangements in the spring. Next to Carriger Creek is a zen garden featuring a meditation pad and a statue of Buddha. Atop an oak knoll sits a quaint chapel inspired by the ones found on ranches in Brazil. Every corner of this property introduces you to a different and unique experience.

Rancho Mineiro has become known as a sanctuary to both humans and animals. It is a property unlike any other. The custom home, spectacular outdoor entertaining areas, and remarkable grounds create a truly one-of-a-kind lifestyle.
