Wine Country Luxe
Become a part of California’s rich history with the majesty of Cooper’s Grove. This historic property dates back to the days of Jack London. The ranch is 256 acres of designated open space with Heritage Oak, CA Bay Laurel, and Coastal Redwood trees. Known as a “sacred space” to the indigenous Miwok and Pomo Indian tribes, the ranch offers dramatic views of Bennett Valley as well as hiking trails through the ancient redwood grove. Artifacts and wildlife abound among the verdant hills.
Travel nearly a mile up the private lane through some of Sonoma County’s most breathtaking scenery. Panoramic vistas and towering redwoods herald the entrance to the 4 acre private estate and home site. Designed by renowned architect, Paul Hamilton for the Hopkins family in 1964, this magnificent home has been meticulously restored by Transformation, Residential Design and Renovation, of Penngrove.
Please enjoy the gallery of photographs, presented by Home and Value Advisors to capture the timeless elegance of the Hopkins House and Coopers Grove Ranch.
Feast upon the panoramic vistas and golden sunsets as you enter the front gate of the ranch property. Designated as Open Space with Sonoma County in 2002, the ranch is now protected from development.
From the moment you enter the circular auto court, the masterful landscape design gracefully guides your eyes to dramatic views of Mt St Helena. The large adobe garden wall and standing seam bronze roof offer the initial statement of a poetic dialogue between architecture and environment that repeats in rhythmic patterns throughout the estate.
The second pulse of this poetic cadence strikes as you step under the massive roof structure.
It is here that you first discover the mastery of craftsmanship and the understated elegance of the redwood beams and vaulted ceilings.
From the glass corners at the front door to the flagstone floors, everywhere you turn your eyes are greeted with the beauty of nature being coaxed into harmonic composition.
Designed for a sophisticated lifestyle and contemporary entertaining, the large great room draws family and guests into the center of the home around two magnificent back-to-back fireplaces. Oversized bronze sliders spill onto wrap-around decks and the central courtyard for taking in the views and living al fresco.
Function and style reign in this designer kitchen. Professional appliances and state of the art technology have been harnessed into compliance with the character of the rest of the house. Twin refrigerators, double dishwashers, Décor ovens, and the Thermodore Cooktop equip this kitchen for gourmet cooking. The large butler’s pantry provides space for additional storage and discreet side work.
No single space embraces the cadence with nature better than the covered deck. Redwood beams soar upward to the vaulted ceiling creating a massive canopy over the intimate outdoor fireplace. Designed to fully exploit the dramatic valley views, the deck is large enough for formal dining as well as the out door living room.
In true wine country spirit, a beautiful 300 square foot wine cellar provides ample space for collections of favorite wines and intimate tastings.
Keeping the pulse on nature as well as the world, the state of the art media room sports cat5 wiring, 7.1 surround sound technology, and audio wiring for ambient entertainment throughout the house. The theater includes behind the scenes oversized conduits for future upgrades.
Guests and family will luxuriate in the comfort of either of the two guest bedrooms. Lush mountain views from private decks maintain the home’s intimate conversation with the natural setting.
The culmination in the composition of this home is the grand retreat-like master bedroom suite. Vaulted ceilings open above this private sanctuary with fireplace and intimate garden. The master bath beckons with its large soaking tub, limestone counters, and rainspout showerhead.
Nestled on the hill behind the primary residence is the one bedroom guest house. This 840 square foot cottage is a miniature echo of the main house. Vaulted ceilings, redwood beams, concrete floors, and stainless steel countertops make this cozy space inviting and luxurious for guests or family. The cottage also has it own garage, carport, and laundry.
Superior architecture and excellent craftsmanship are integrated into this world-class setting to ensure that this estate will remain a California Classic.
