A serene retreat featuring garden rooms amidst 250 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, designed by Howard Backen, showcasing native, drought-tolerant plants that enhance local biodiversity and offer stunning views of the Alexander Valley.
This series of gardens serves as a retreat property for an extended family. It sits amid 250 acres of prime Cabernet Sauvignon grapes on the hill, and is bordered by additional Sauvignon Blanc grapes near the Russian River. Restful garden rooms form a counterpoint to open vistas of the Alexander Valley beyond. Native, drought tolerant plants accent the landscape with seasonal color, while supporting local biodiversity.
