Serene Vineyard Chateau with Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ

Disconnect from city life at this unforgettable retreat. Located in the heart of the Carmel Valley wine country, the Vineyard Chateau sits on 5 creek-front acres with a working vineyard that produces artisan Merlot. Luxury bedding and intense star-filled night skies deliver a great night’s sleep. Countless amenities including chef’s kitchen, champagne bubbler tub, hot tub, seasonal saltwater pool (May-Oct), and full-property WiFi+Sonos. The Vineyard Chateau is perfect for a family or 2 couples.

About the space


Nestled amongst the abundant oak trees, mountains, and granite, the Vineyard Chateau will inspire all your senses as you relax and enjoy the many features it has to offer, both inside and out. The remote country setting allows you to replace the stresses of the world with abundant space and absolute peace & quiet.

Extensively remodeled in 2018, the 2,100 square foot 3-bedroom home features a large open floorpan, decadent master suite with champagne bubbler tub, large dining room with vaulted ceilings, light filled picture windows & skylights, and hardwood oak flooring throughout. The tasteful furnishings, lighting, art collection, and large flat-screen TVs will delight your visual senses after the sun goes down. The home is comfortable year-round thanks to the climate-controlled heating & air conditioning.

The Vineyard Chateau exterior features large wrap-around redwood decks, extensive landscaping & stonework, a 20’x40’ seasonal saltwater pool (May-Oct) with adjacent covered outdoor kitchen/bar & lounge, a hot tub, a creekside dining deck with overhead lighting, two tree houses (one for adults, one for kids), raised “Chef’s” garden beds, a fruit tree orchard, a working vineyard that produces artisan Merlot, and an olive orchard.

We proudly feature 100% organic percale cotton sheets and down comforters/pillows. Bedroom 1 offers a King bed and Bedroom 2 offers a Queen bed, each equipped with an organic cotton Saatva Classic 11.5” Luxury Firm innerspring mattress. Bedroom 3 features a 71” convertible futon that is larger than a Twin but not quite a Double. Combined with the property's secluded location and the lack of city light pollution, you're sure to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

The Vineyard Chateau offers plentiful options for on-site entertainment & play. The flat-screen TVs are equipped with Amazon Fire TV streaming devices for on-demand access to popular paid streaming services. The full-property Sonos system allows you endless audio enjoyment. The kids can enjoy the trampoline, tree house/slide, tree swings, and the Xbox One with game library. We even have a Mason & Hamlin upright piano for those of you with a musical interest.

The foodie in you will appreciate the plentiful prep and dining options on the property. The gourmet chef's kitchen is equipped with a 5’x12’ granite countertop, gas range, convection oven, toaster oven, J.A. Henckels knives, All Clad pots & pans, Lodge cast iron pans, dutch oven, KitchenAid stand mixer, Vitamix blender, Technivorm MoccaMaster KBGV Select coffee maker, Breville burr grinder, and all the tools needed to prepare/serve that epicurean meal you’ve been dreaming of. And, the adjacent indoor dining room boasts a large mango wood dining table with seating for 8.

If you prefer to cook/dine outdoors, the Vineyard Chateau features a covered poolside kitchen/bar with a sink, wine fridge, Weber Performer charcoal grill, Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, grill tools, and dining options at either the bar counter or the creekside dining area with overhead lighting.

Just because you’re venturing out to the country doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from it all. High speed/low latency 25 Mbps internet, full-property WiFi coverage, and a dedicated workspace for 2 in bedroom 3 enable you to keep up with your work on an extended stay-cation at the Vineyard Chateau.

Guest access


You'll have exclusive use of the main house, pool, and hot tub areas, while sharing the rest of the property with our small staff. There is easy access from the main road via private paved driveway, with ample off-street parking right in front of the house. Private entrances with smart locks enable you to come and go as you please while keeping your belongings secure.

Other details to note


The property is a working 5-acre chateau in the country. It has a wine-producing vineyard, an orchard of fruit & olive trees, a flock of egg producing hens, and extensive landscaping. We have a full-time caretaker who lives in the caretaker unit on the other side of the property (>300 feet from the main house), and additional service providers who visit the property regularly. Our team aims to do their jobs when guests are least likely to be on site, but please do not be surprised if you see a little activity outside on our property during your stay — particularly if you're staying for a longer period. They get the credit for keeping the place beautiful (and functional)!

Interaction with guests


Our wonderful co-host, Kathie, resides nearby and is your point of contact while on site, however we all monitor your messages in the VRBO app. We aim to be available when needed, while allowing you to enjoy the house and grounds in peace.
