Host your dream event or gather loved ones at this exceptional 25-acre gated estate in Amador County's wine country. Two beautifully connected modern homes offer flexible accommodations perfect for weddings, retreats, family reunions, and milestone celebrations.
THE PROPERTY
This unique estate features two separate but connected homes that provide the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy. The main house serves as your gathering hub with spacious common areas, while the independent guest house offers a private sanctuary for those who want their own space.
Main House:
The contemporary main house features 2 bedrooms (master with queen bed, second bedroom with full bed plus queen sofa bed), 2 full bathrooms, and an open-concept living area with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic Sierra foothill views. The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for group meals, complete with our rock star spice drawer. A cozy fireplace creates the perfect ambiance for cool evenings and group gatherings. The bright, airy interior showcases clean architectural lines and modern finishes throughout.
Guest House:
The completely independent guest house offers 1 bedroom with a queen bed and stunning mountain views, plus a full bathroom and complete kitchen. This self-contained space is perfect for the bridal suite, grandparents seeking quiet, early risers who want their own coffee routine, or anyone who values having their own retreat within the larger gathering. The guest house kitchen provides extra prep space when cooking for groups or accommodates dietary restrictions with ease.
Total Capacity: 3 bedrooms sleeping 8 guests comfortably across both homes, with 3 full bathrooms ensuring no morning bottlenecks.
Step outside to your private 25-acre gated estate where possibilities abound. Host outdoor ceremonies with mountain backdrops, watch sunsets paint the hills in golden light, dine al fresco at multiple outdoor seating areas, or let your dogs roam safely off-leash across the fully fenced property. As darkness falls, the sky transforms into a spectacular canvas of stars—some of the clearest night skies you'll find this close to civilization.
SEASONAL EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Fall Celebrations: Experience wine country at its peak during harvest season. The changing leaves, crisp air, and bustling tasting rooms create an unforgettable autumn backdrop for weddings and gatherings. Perfect for intimate ceremonies followed by wine country receptions.
Winter Gatherings: Create cozy holiday magic with the fireplace glowing, wine flowing, and occasional snow dusting the distant peaks. Host family reunions where some can ski at Kirkwood while others explore wineries. The warm interiors provide perfect contrast to crisp mountain air.
Spring Events: Witness the hills explode with wildflowers and vibrant green grasses—nature's own wedding decoration. Moderate temperatures make this ideal for outdoor ceremonies, wellness retreats, and corporate team building. Watch wildlife emerge as nature awakens around you.

Long summer evenings are perfect for outdoor receptions, bachelorette weekends with poolside relaxation (just kidding—bring your own kiddie pools!), and starlit gatherings. Morning fog often creates mystical, romantic valley views.

The property provides natural beauty, complete privacy, and flexible spaces for ceremonies of 20-50 guests. No venue fees, no time restrictions—this is your private estate.

- Extended Family Reunions: Cousins, aunts, uncles—everyone has room without feeling on top of each other. The fenced property means kids and dogs play safely while adults relax. Multiple gathering spots allow for simultaneous activities: wine tasting on one patio, games in the main house, quiet reading in the guest house.
- Friend Group Celebrations: Whether it's a milestone birthday, sabbatical celebration, or just-because gathering, the two homes provide the perfect setup for friend groups who want to be together but value personal space and sleeping accommodations that suit different schedules.
THE EXPERIENCE
What sets this estate apart is the rare combination of complete seclusion, flexible multi-home accommodations, and convenient access to both world-class wine tasting and mountain recreation. You're not just renting a vacation home—you're claiming a private estate where you can create exactly the experience you envision.
Host your ceremony under ancient oaks with mountain views. Prepare a feast using both kitchens. Gather everyone around the fireplace for toasts and laughter. Let some guests retreat to the quiet guest house while the party continues in the main house. Start mornings with coffee on separate patios, then come together for wine tasting adventures. End evenings stargazing from your private 25 acres.
The two-house layout offers something most event venues and vacation rentals can't: true flexibility for how your group wants to experience time together. Whether you need the bridal party separate from family, space for different age groups, or simply the luxury of multiple gathering spots, this estate adapts to your vision rather than forcing you into someone else's constraints.
Unlike crowded Tahoe rentals, expensive Napa event venues, or cookie-cutter conference centers, this retreat offers exceptional value without sacrificing luxury, location, or the freedom to create your own schedule and experience. You'll enjoy the peace of true privacy, the beauty of unspoiled nature, and the convenience of being within easy reach of everything that makes this region special.
Two homes, endless possibilities. Create unforgettable memories in California's hidden gem wine country with Sierra Nevada mountain views and complete seclusion.
