Property Description

Designed by Joseph Esherick - one of California's most celebrated 20th-century architects and completed in 1960, this landmark Sonoma Valley residence is a compelling expression of his site-sensitive approach to architecture. Through his masterful use of proportion, materiality, and light, Esherick created a home that feels inseparable from its setting. Set on nearly 8 acres at the top of the exclusive Sobre Vista Estates enclave - one of Sonoma Valley's most coveted residential addresses, flanked by vineyards and surrounded by some of the valley's finest estates, 2395 Sobre Vista Road commands sweeping 180-degree views across Sonoma Valley toward Mount Diablo, San Pablo Bay, and the vineyards and mountains beyond. The setting is extraordinary, but it is Esherick's architectural response to that setting that makes the property so rare. His signature is evident throughout, from the vertical-board exterior siding and warm interior paneling to the soaring open-beam ceilings and carefully composed relationship between scale, openness, and outlook. Expansive walls of glass create a seamless connection between indoors and out, reinforcing the essential principles of his work and blurring the boundary between the built environment and the natural world. This three-bedroom, three-bath single-level residence includes two wood-burning fireplaces, original hardwood floors, an expansive view deck, and a screened outdoor living room. The grounds anchored by a majestic redwood grove, stately oak trees, an inviting swimming pool, and a lawn area extend the architectural experience into the landscape and capture the essence of California living. Just minutes from Sonoma Plaza and world-class wineries and restaurants, yet offering exceptional privacy and serenity, the property presents a rare opportunity to steward and restore a meaningful work by Joseph Esherick. This is a residence of true architectural pedigree, where enduring mid-century design, intentional siting, and a profound connection to the landscape come together in one of Sonoma's most exceptional settings.
