The property is nearly ten acres total and includes magnolia, olive, fig and maple trees. An outdoor patio offers dining for eight. it is currently being used as a wine country rental that costs $12,000 a week (many more gorgeous pictures are available at the home's rental website).

Wow, its simple elegant and not "over-the- top" (tacky). I love the minimalist styl, it even works well with the exterior.
Decor: ♥♥♥♥ four/four hearts.
Really nicely done, a rare minamailist jewel.
Location: ♥♥♥ three/four hearts.
Love the Cali thing, but Sonoma, California isnt really my fave. Realy though, it deserveds a 3.5 since I'm kinda biased.
Price: ♥♥♥♥ four/four hearts.
Obviously, it is out of most peoples price range, but at $5,495,000 for nine-some acres isn't too bad. A home in my area that was on 1.5 acres went for 5 million!
