8320 Franz Valley Road, Calistoga, CA, 94515
About This Home
This extraordinary Mediterranean-style estate spans 153.43 acres of vineyard and mountain-view beauty in prestigious Knights Valley, offering built-in income potential rarely found in Napa and Sonoma luxury properties. Perfectly positioned between Calistoga and Santa Rosa in the heart of Wine Country, the estate provides both seclusion and accessibility. Set within its own private valley, the property enjoys dramatic panoramic views and exceptional privacy. Located on two legal parcels at 8320 and 8322 Franz Valley Road, Bellissimo Vineyard Estate blends architectural pedigree with diverse land use and revenue opportunities. The property includes a 30.5-acre vineyard plus 36.1 acres of gentle, soil-rich open land previously planted to vines, suitable for agriculture, equestrian use, or recreation. Designed by architect Sandy Walker with interiors by Erin Martin, the 8-bedroom estate compound spans approximately 6,214 sq ft and is thoughtfully arranged for private living, entertaining, or luxury rental use. The main compound consists of five separate buildings: a main residence, two one-bedroom suites, a 2BR/2BA guest house, and a 1BR/1BA office building. The estate offers a compelling income profile. The main compound is projected to generate approximately $400,000 annually as a luxury vacation rental, with a professional management company ready to begin operations. Four additional residences on the property are projected to generate approximately $130,000 annually, creating total residential rental income potential exceeding $530,000 per year. The vineyard offers further potential for agricultural income. Resort-style amenities include a 50-ft infinity-edge pool, tennis and pickleball court, and a cabana-style pool house with full bath, outdoor BBQ, and fire pit. Expansive terraces and outdoor spaces support seamless indoor-outdoor living. Infrastructure includes two high-producing wells, a reservoir for irrigation and frost protection, a large barn, and ample parking for estate and vineyard use. A rare opportunity to own a private Wine Country estate combining scale, views, multiple residences, and significant income potential.
