French 2 | Santa Cruz

Set on twenty acres of pastoral vineyards, this French-inspired wine country estate captures the elegance and timeless character of a traditional European countryside property. The estate is composed of a main residence, a working vineyard barn, and a detached garage, all thoughtfully arranged to complement the surrounding landscape of rolling hills and cultivated vines. Designed with authenticity in mind, the project incorporates meticulously sourced imported roof tiles, doors, and windows that reinforce the architectural language of classic French country estates while creating a lasting connection to the traditions of vineyard living.

The exterior palette combines integral-color stucco with natural stone accents, providing warmth, texture, and a sense of permanence within the Napa Valley landscape. Throughout the residence, French doors open onto expansive terraces and a swimming pool that overlook panoramic vineyard and hillside views, creating a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. The barn serves both practical and operational functions, housing vineyard equipment while providing office space for vineyard management. Blending luxury residential architecture, vineyard estate planning, and authentic French country design, this property exemplifies the refined lifestyle and agricultural heritage that define California wine country.
