Feel like you’re basking under the Tuscan sun in a “piece of paradise” right here in the East Bay’s coveted Tassajara Valley. Benvenuto to Villa Venti Venti, an extraordinary destination for those seeking a residence of distinction, presents a 107-acre property showcasing a single-level hilltop estate with 360-degree breathtaking views of the Valley’s rolling hills sweeping across the horizon from Livermore and Pleasanton to Blackhawk. The Mediterranean landscape inspired this Italian villa, complete with rows of 1,600 Zinfandel, Petit Syrah, and Sangiovese grapevines ripening in the sun and a seasonal stream. Plans sketched on a napkin by the owner were brought to fruition by renowned local architect William Wood who noted that careful consideration was given to this site’s unique location and wind direction in the planning stages to maximize the impressive “100-mile” views of the surrounding hills. This work of art was completed in 2008. Layers of luxurious amenities and finishes unfold throughout its 8,144 square feet of living space enhanced by interior designer Sandra Brown’s eye for architectural detailing, including arched entries and stately columns and the awe-inspiring resort-style outdoor venues and gardens designed by master gardener Ronell Ialeggio. First Impression: Drive up the grand gated driveway bordered by more than six dozen olive trees and enjoy the anticipation of the treasures ahead. Acute attention to every detail begins with pillars of stone salvaged from a demolished Oakland cathedral and a second gate that opens to the sprawling paver driveway. You have arrived at an exceptional property that took two years to complete and showcases masterful craftsmanship and custom-designed amenities around every corner. Six-inch plank hand-scraped Hickory hardwood floors custom sanded with a rich walnut finish, ivory travertine floors, hand-troweled plaster walls, soaring ceilings, walnut-stained custom cabinetry, and the warm, rich neutral hues that meld with its surroundings are featured while multiple French doors open to fabulous outdoor spaces creating an essential indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Four bedroom suites, a home gym, an executive office, and an additional office/hobby room is just the beginning. Delight in a 4,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, the pristine garage space for a dozen cars that doubles as an entertainment venue, a glass-enclosed showroom bay adjacent to the family room to display the pride of an automobile collection and a luxuriously comfortable home theater with a 100-inch screen and leather recliners. Take A Personal Tour: Walk through the gated front courtyard brimming with lush foliage and serenaded by cascading water in the tiered fountain. Open the double iron and leaded glass front doors, enter a magnificent foyer illuminated by a custom-designed chandelier and be awestruck by the captivating views. Step into the open, light-drenched, and expansive formal area that includes a sitting room with a fireplace, a dining area that comfortably seats 14, and a music niche where a Steinway would feel right at home. Three sets of French doors extend this comfortably elegant space to the expansive loggia and the travertine patios that wrap around the pebble tec pool, spa, bocce ball court, and a complete outdoor cooking island. An exposed beam ceiling soars to great heights in the expansive family room featuring a grand gas fireplace and a dual-sided, walk-around media cabinet that it shares with a billiards/game room. A large wet bar featuring a copper sink, refrigerator, granite counter, and custom cabinetry anchors the game room. Each room enjoys its own flatscreen television.
