Modern California Ranch-Style Estate

8507 Franz Valley School Road Calistoga, California 94515 United States

8507 Franz Valley School Road is a one-of-a-kind California ranch-style compound on 20+/- acres in the rolling western hills of Calistoga. With structures constructed from rugged, earthy materials that harmonize with the natural surroundings, this property exudes a sense of Wine Country relaxation, calm, and peace of mind. The property is extremely private and was designed with expansion in mind due to the size and location of the current structures organized in a way to allow for the addition of a larger main residence.

Robert Gregory Architects and designer Rela Gleason collaborated to create a custom designed native stone and cedar plank residence with two private suites connected by an airy breezeway that functions as an open-air dining room with stone-wrapped BBQ area and a calming fountain wall. A fully enclosed vegetable garden and a large lap pool with trellised lounge areas lay just beyond. All thoughtfully placed among majestic Heritage oaks.

Punctuating the frontage of the property sits strikingly modern designer barn constructed of black corrugated metal, boasting two guest suites and ample garage space for accommodating 2+ vehicles or essential maintenance equipment or additional indoor space. This dispersed property is a perfect retreat for two, a family compound, or a camp for entertaining overnight/weekend guests.

Luxurious outdoor living spaces abound, with fountains, gardens, and tree shaded vistas all made even more exceptional and useful by the temperate climate that graces this region throughout most of the year. Designed with the art of hospitality in mind, this ranch estate offers a myriad of possibilities. Whether seeking a tranquil retreat for one or two, a multi-generational family compound, this exceptional property stands ready to fulfill the dream.

An additional 20+/- acre parcel that lay just beside and contiguous is available as an additional purchase to provide an ideal location for horse stables, an agricultural barn, and a greater expansive play area. Minutes to Calistoga, Santa Rosa, and slightly over an hour to the Golden Gate Bridge.
