A private vineyard estate in Sonoma Valley allows prospective buyers to try before they buy
On an estate surrounded by 30 acres of Sonoma Valley vineyards, the secluded, Tuscan-style Villa Andrea is available for stays through villa-rental provider BeautifulPlaces ($3,500 per day or $22,000 per week). And now the property—which comprises a 4,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom main house and three separate structures with guest accommodations, a home theater, and an office—is also for sale. Prospective buyers can take the villa for a test drive before making the $8.9 million commitment, trying out such features as the blue-tiled pool, stone-tiled deck, tennis court, and spa with steam room and sauna. Of course, guests can also sample the region’s many wonderful wines—including a Cabernet Sauvignon made from grapes grown on Villa Andrea’s vineyards—in the estate’s 7,000-square-foot private wine cave.
