“We’ve been searching for years for our Valley of the Moon. We’ve found it. This is our place. I know it.” - Jack London
La Vid | Life Above La Vid is nearly 160 acres of rare beauty nestled in the foothills of the Mayacamas overlooking the Valley of the Moon. Located in Kenwood, a small, scenic community with exceptional vineyards and wineries. This exquisite property is about now and the future. The estate offers four home sites, two with completed homes where you will live in luxury with room to grow. You will experience the joys of togetherness and the freedom of solitude. Here you will join together lounging poolside, sharing gourmet meals and gathering around the fireplace, then retreat to separate homes, resting in privacy for the next day’s adventures. The views from La Vid are spectacular, stretching out over the vineyards and across to Sonoma Mountain. From here you have the privilege of watching the sunset each day perhaps while enjoying a glass of Cinq Cepages from your neighbor, Chateau St. Jean.
This glorious estate is a hidden gem. The private road makes a gentle uphill climb through lush forest, through the main gate, winding past vineyard views to the four estate home sites. Two of the property’s elegant homes are completed and ready for you, your family and guests to enjoy. Two additional home sites have partially completed infrastructure, ready for your plans. The new owner will benefit from the planning, improvements & permits that have taken years to accomplish. At La Vid, the indoors and outdoors almost become one. The homes capture the views of surrounding nature while you entertain in the spacious indoor/outdoor living areas. The doors disappear, opening to covered loggias with ample room to lounge while enjoying the pool, spa and outdoor fireplace.
The homes have a sense of history, graced with walls of dappled stucco, ancient Sonoma Fieldstone and tiled roofs in the European tradition. The entryways are grand in scale and the floors are the finest hardwood. The kitchens blend contemporary appliances and timeless brick to create a comfortable state-of-the-art gourmet experience. The master suites are exquisite. While at La Vid you escape from the rigors of life, enjoying the highest quality homes and the serenity of the natural landscape. Here at your private estate you’ll create a lifestyle that will carry through for generations. La Vid is a place to bond with nature, while appreciating the privacy that comes with owning such a vast parcel of land. Red-tailed hawks soar. Bluebirds flit between the shrubs. Oaks and laurels, madrones and mesquites thrive. A winter creek runs through and there are winding trails to wander. The land reaches high into the Mayacamas where the vistas reach for miles in all directions and is partly adjacent to Sugarloaf Ridge Park.
The terrain is mostly untouched and pristine. Some spots are rugged with moss-covered boulders and volcanic rock while others offer soft fields, kissed with lupine, mustard and milkmaids in springtime. You may spot a rare red-bellied newt or search for chanterelle mushrooms. A picturesque pond has been added at the heart of La Vid, a place to fish or sit with a book. There is room here for whatever you dream –be it orchards and vegetable gardens, or tennis & bocce ball courts. There is so much to experience and explore at La Vid with dozens of wineries nearby and hundreds within an hour. The venerated Chateau St. Jean Winery is your neighbor, and La Vid overlooks its sprawling vineyards. Two golf courses are minutes away with many more close by. Along the property’s eastern boundary is Sugarloaf Ridge Park, with 25 miles of hiking and riding trails and winter waterfall. Jack London Park is close, as is Spring Lake, a great place to go for a run. Enjoy farmers markets, olive oil tasting and lavender fields. The Green Music Center, a world-class concert hall with world-class per-formers, is close by.
Just south on Highway 12 is the town of Sonoma. Its historic Plaza offers unique shopping with boutiques, galleries, bookstores and the Sebastiani Theatre. There is fine dining at Café La Haye, the Girl & the Fig, Meritage and the El Dorado Kitchen. Just on the other side of the Mayacamas lays the Napa Valley, and its long stretch of wineries and restaurants—Opus One, Mondavi, The French Laundry and Tra Vigne. Healdsburg, another acclaimed tourist destination, is just beyond to the north. And to the west, the Pacific Ocean with long beaches to stroll and quaint towns like Bodega Bay and Jenner await you. While experiencing the seclusion of La Vid it’s easy to forget that San Francisco is just over an hour away. Your land is far removed from the masses yet the big city, with its cultural venues and nightlife, is right across the Golden Gate Bridge. If you or your guests are arriving from afar, San Francisco and Oakland International Airports, as well as two airports that accommodate private jets, are accessible.
