Presented for the first time ever, VENTICELLO is the highly acclaimed, Mediterranean destination estate of Murphys. The custom luxury manor combines the alure of classic Tuscany with the stunning natural scenery of California's gold country. Located just above historic downtown Murphys, on over 20 private acres, the estate is comprised of a stately main home and separate guest villa, 'La Villetta', which means little house in Italian. An architectural masterpiece, the stucco and straw bale construction makes it energy efficient, in addition to the solar and Tesla power walls. With panoramic views extending beyond the Central Valley, the grounds feature a timeless pool, classic landscaping and quaint patios adorned with fountains and planters. The main 3,547 square foot villa boasts oversized French doors, concrete radiant floor heating, designer lighting and custom finishes throughout. The guest villa sleeps up to eight and is the perfect casita. In addition to the attached garage in the main home, there is an additional detached 40x20 garage near the entrance to the property. The Venticello manor is just minutes away from the vibrant, thriving wine and music scene of Main Street Murphys. Featuring art galleries, boutiques and an array of award-winning restaurants, Murphys has become a destination and wedding town. Experience the harmonious blend of sustainable living, personal comfort and entrepreneurial opportunity at 2500 Folendorf Road - a property that truly embodies the essence of Murphys' charm. Features include radiant heated floors, open atrium library, AC, grand courtyard entrance with soaring bronze sculped doors and fountain, walk through kitchen pantry, primary wing with large soaking tub and private garden courtyard and many more luxurious features.
