5 California Wine Country Estates with Views and Acreage

On a residential street in Burlingame, 1238 Bernal Avenue offers a rare chance to shape a home when the story is still unwritten. With no published listing details to define the interiors, the appeal here begins with what’s certain: a well-situated address in one of the Peninsula’s most established communities, and the quiet everyday rhythm that comes with it—morning walks, neighboring gardens, and an easy connection to the broader Bay Area.

Set on 2.3 private acres, this newly constructed single-level Skyfarm estate pairs exceptional privacy with expansive views and an easy rhythm of indoor/outdoor living. Dramatic glass entry doors open to a great room wrapped in walls of glass, where exposed ceiling beams, a contemporary linear fireplace, dining area, and an entertaining bar anchor daily life. The bar is finished with a stone counter and includes a sink, dishwasher, wine refrigerator, and a glass-enclosed wine display. In the kitchen, Taj Mahal quartzite, custom cabinetry, and Thermador appliances are joined by a generous butler’s pantry and prep kitchen. Disappearing sliding doors extend living space to approximately 1,500 square feet of covered outdoor rooms, an outdoor kitchen, and an inground pool and spa with a retractable cover. A separate-entry ADU adds flexible space, minutes from downtown Santa Rosa and Healdsburg Plaza.

Tucked into a Napa Valley setting, this forty-acre holding unfolds across two legal parcels, shaped by waterfalls and year-round streams. Redwoods frame the landscape, while a hand-dug cave adds a striking, elemental detail—part curiosity, part quiet retreat. The land’s sweeping 180° valley views create a continual sense of openness, with shifting light and long horizons that mark the days. Held by one family for nearly 125 years, the property carries a rare continuity, offering the space and privacy to imagine what comes next while honoring what has been carefully kept. Here, the experience is defined by nature’s soundtrack, shaded trails, and the enduring calm that comes from acreage measured in decades, not weekends.

Size: 40.00 acres

From its elevated Wild Horse Valley setting in Napa’s desired Coombsville AVA, this custom-built estate is designed around 360-degree views and a serene country rhythm. The main level opens with a grand foyer, soaring cathedral ceilings, and a curved staircase overlooking the formal entry. Entertaining spaces include a large formal dining room, a view-focused living room with fireplace, and a wet bar with adjacent lounge area, plus a generous family or entertainment room. A library or large bedroom with fireplace adds flexibility, alongside a large kitchen with nook, pantries, and a spacious laundry room; two additional rooms can adapt as bedrooms or other uses. Upstairs, bedrooms share the level with another laundry room, a large three-bedroom apartment, and an additional framed area with high ceilings and view windows, ready to finish. A peaceful creek divides the acreage, with a level area around the home and rolling hills beyond.

Surrounded by 40 acres in the heart of Alexander Valley, this Wine Country estate balances vineyard elegance with deep privacy. Six acres of Cabernet vines frame the setting, while heirloom-style hewn woodwork and stained concrete floors bring an artisanal calm indoors. In the living room, a commanding two-story fireplace rises beside floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a 60-foot Pebble Tec pool and sweeping hillside views. The main level is designed for easy hosting, with an entertaining room and bar, a generous dining area, and a gourmet kitchen appointed with soapstone countertops, stainless appliances, and a Viking range, plus a pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a spa-like bath and a private office/sitting area. French doors extend the experience outdoors for dining under a star-filled sky. Olive and fruit trees, raised garden beds, and a chicken niche complete the rural rhythm.
