25200 Loma Prieta

Hundreds of vineyards dot the Santa Cruz Mountains above Silicon Valley: names like Chaine d'Or, Mount Eden and Ridge fill the lexicon of wine lovers everywhere. These mountains have long lured those with big dreams from Paul Masson to David Bruce. There's magic here. Just 20 minutes from Los Gatos, a spectacular 44-acre redwood and vine-studded piece of paradise awaits its next visionary. From the expansive decks of the elegant stone estate, you can gaze out onto the Pacific, feeling the thrill of discovery like those early explorers who claimed this regal place for the Spanish crown. At 2600 ft, the stars keep close company and the lights of the Monterey Peninsula sparkle like jewels. Hidden behind a golden hillside, the propertys namesake, Lago Lomita, Spanish for "Lake of the Low Broad Hill", gleams like a gem after winter rains. A thriving vineyard produces some of the most sought-after fruit in the region, including Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Most exciting is the coveted and rare Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Barolo, among the most revered in the world. Imagine the possibilities. Discover the magic in these mountains and make your dreams come true.
