Features
THE VINEYARD HOUSE AT THE DALYA ESTATE
The main house is a light-filled 2,400 square foot retreat comprised of 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Floor to ceiling glass Nano doors in the main living and dining area open to an expansive backyard with stunning views over the solar heated lap pool and jacuzzi framed by neighboring Pinot vineyards. The home has a beautiful open layout, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen featuring a Viking Gas Range with 6 Burners and dual ovens, spacious butler’s pantry, Shaw’s fireclay sink, and a grand, gracious marble island for gathering, wining and dining.
Heated through hydronic radiant floor heating, and outfitted with brand new energy-efficient air conditioning during the summer, the Vineyard House is perfect in every season. Washer and Dryer are located just outside the glass doors, in a private laundry room. The adjacent Pool House charms with a vine-covered outdoor shower and is perfect for lounging or napping just steps from the majestic views and the in-ground spa.
The entire grounds are served by brand new solar power and backup generators to keep power and services in force year-round. EV charging for 2 cars in the main car park.
THE GUEST HOUSE AT THE DALYA ESTATE
The guest cottage is a 1,400 square foot, romantically renovated 1920’s farmhouse with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a loft with a bonus Queen bed and Double futon.
Large, original windows afford views of the gardens on all sides and flood the home with natural light. The fully equipped kitchen features a marvelous vintage O’Keefe and Merritt range. A beautiful wrap-around covered porch overlooks the rose gardens and offers perfect indoor-outdoor flow. The home is heated through central air, and during the winter, the gas fireplace is a perfect way to warm the home and cozy up for the evening. In summer, the air conditioning keeps things comfortable. The guest cottage also has its own laundry area located just outside the kitchen nook. Adjacent the guest cottage are a stunning lawn lit up with string lights for magical al fresco dining, and a generous screened in porch, perfect for an afternoon siesta or escaping with a good read.
While our property is expansive, it is surrounded on three sides by large commercial vineyards. We do have neighbors with whom we share a mutual respect for local noise ordinances. Our goal is to provide a relaxing retreat where friends and family can kick back, laugh and enjoy themselves immensely.
