Home of the Day: Russian River estate offers Victorian romance, prime acreage
Spread across 1,745 acres in California’s scenic Mendocino wine country, this Victorian Queen Anne-style estate charms with its classic details.
Though it was built in 1997, the main house evokes a bygone era with its broad front porch, decorative gables and a conical witch’s hat turret. Inside, modern amenities include a gourmet kitchen and three natural gas furnaces.
Currently in use as a working ranch, the estate also includes acreage for growing wine grapes, a 4,900 square-foot barn and a picnic-ready gazebo. Various oak varieties, five acres of redwoods and 21 ponds also reside on the grounds.
