A wood deck off the living room of the main home connects to a pool patio. One of the estate’s two verdant lawns stretches beside this deck. Nearby, an artistic steel wall accents a fire pit. Outdoor lighting beckons for gatherings that go all night long. A shimmering pool rests within a concrete patio near the raised hot tub.

Mature trees stud the rolling hillsides surrounding the estate, while the grounds include native oaks, a Jack London oak sapling, guava trees, a Satsuma plum, Fuji apples and other fruit trees. More than 150 olive trees of Italian varietals pepper the landscape west of Sonoma Valley Regional Park.

A raised wood-burning fireplace with hearth seating anchors the living room. The fireplace rests within custom Steel Geisha embellishment that stretches to the ceiling. A casement skylight lingers above the living room as sliding glass doors lead out to the rear deck.
