Other highlights include a chef’s kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, an oversized island, and a dining area; a primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath; a media room or recording studio; and an enviable terrace with a pool and views of the Century City skyline.
Wine Country Hacienda
Daniel Casabonne, Marie Bradley | Sotheby’s International Realty – Sonoma Brokerage
Surrounded by 2.27 acres of mature trees, landscaping, and rolling lawn just minutes from the historic Sonoma plaza, this 3,925-square-foot four-bedroom hacienda is a relaxed yet elegant retreat in the heart of wine country. The inviting open-plan great room features dramatic carved posts, beamed ceilings, and one of three warming fireplaces. French doors in most rooms lead to the outdoors and their courtyards, swimming pool, freestanding pool house, wisteria-covered loggia, playground, gardens, and fruit trees.
Creamer Hill Farm
Leslie McElwreath, Joseph Barbieri | Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich Brokerage
At the end of two gated driveways, this extraordinary 81.45-acre estate is one of the largest private landholdings in Greenwich. In addition to the 14,200-square-foot home, the property boasts a pond, a three-bedroom guest cottage, a baseball field, a tennis court, a pool, and a workshop or barn. The timber-clad six-bedroom residence blends a Shingle-style façade with Japanese-influenced interiors, and multiple stalwart stone fireplaces—in the living room, two family rooms, primary suite, and billiards room—contribute to the rugged style and welcoming warmth.
