Franz Valley Escape - Calistoga Hilltop Home with Pool, Hot Tub and Vineyard Views

Wake to vineyard light spilling across the wraparound deck of this single-level hilltop home in gated Calistoga country, with a private pool and hot tub overlooking the valley. Three king suites — each with its own bath — sleep 6, just 1.5 miles from Tom Eddy Winery and 4 miles to Calistoga's Lincoln Avenue hot springs.

Spend mornings on the deck as fog drains off Mt. St. Helena, afternoons hiking the Oat Hill Mine Trail or tasting at Tom Eddy and Schweiger, and evenings around the gas fireplace with a Cabernet from the day's barrel-room finds. A round at Mount St. Helena Golf Course sits minutes down the hill.

Settle into the great room beneath a circular iron chandelier, where window walls pull the valley inside and the gas fireplace anchors slow conversations after dark. Central AC keeps the single-level layout cool through Sonoma summers.

Cook on the chef's range while someone pours a glass at the granite island — bar seating keeps the cook in the conversation, and the open layout flows straight to the dining table beside a floor-to-ceiling glass wine room.

Linger over dinner with a bottle pulled from the wine wall, then drift back to the sofa as the chandelier dims and the valley goes dark beyond the glass.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the wraparound deck for sunset meals with valley and vineyard views, shaded dining, and teak loungers angled toward the hills. Slide into the private pool or the hot tub on its own platform as deer and wild turkeys move through the grounds below.
