High-design and wine country living are one at this Scandinavian-inspired, modern country home surrounded by award-winning Pinot Noir vines. The ultra-chic residence was designed by internationally renowned Martin Kobus Interiors to offer the best of both worlds: sophisticated architecture, interiors and resort-like amenities in harmony with nature and the vines of one of the world’s favored wine country destinations. The sanctuary was conceived and realized by owner, Dutch designer Martin Kobus, who's residential and commercial work is celebrated for creating calm, welcoming spaces that showcase his modern aesthetic. For Kobus, the bucolic retreat was built as his private home, inspired by Scandinavian country homes with a quintessential flex of Kobus' design vernacular. For a discerning few, the showcase of sensibilities that is 150 Bailhache offers a rare chance to have it all, in style. 

The cornerstone of Kobus' award-winning aesthetic -- eclectic, textured, and layered interiors that speak to each home’s individual strengths -- are on full display. The result is a phenomenal wine country showcase illuminating the fine art of living with innovative and contemporary architecture that is artfully united within a classic vineyard palette. It is this enduring environment that provides the backdrop for a wine country lifestyle that is a transformative, seductive and showstopping experience.  Situated just five minutes from Healdsburg Plaza on approx. 3.25 acres, this remarkable showcase features a contemporary aesthetic with two black matte steel structures consisting of a one-bedroom main residence, an adjacent guest studio, and an expansive exterior lounge terrace and pool. Built in 2020 and offered with select furnishings, the home is a masterpiece of custom-designed interiors, state-of-the art technology, and resort-like amenities.

Finishes and fixtures are custom designed and thoughtfully curated to compliment the space. The dramatic main living area features 22' ceilings, walls of glass and an open-plan layout warmed by the lighter hue of the wide plank French Oak flooring and delicate woven pendant lanterns.

Arcadia glass pocket doors slide to create a partition providing separation from the media lounge and living room/kitchen. A dramatic sculpture wall is the focal point of the media lounge where a custom mosaic of marble pieces, cut into geometric shapes provides a backdrop of texture and the MK customized cast bronze chandelier illuminates the room with evening light.

 

A custom curved sofa becomes the platform for the retractable TV, internally mounted while a remote-controlled lift displays the TV for viewing.  The red penshell bar cabinet features suspended brass shelving and sleek bar faucet that dispenses sparkling water, flat and instant hot water at the push of a button.

Every attention to detail was considered in the design. The undulating curvature of the distinct 13' kitchen island crafted of snakeskin stone, creates an elegant soft interplay of form and function, and the stone is repeated in the backsplash embracing the 48" Hestan™ gas range. Sleek black laminate kitchen cabinetry storage frames the Hestan™ dual-column wine refrigerator, provides abundant storage and backlit display shelving.  The guest half-bath showcases a dramatic wall of art by Alex Turco, and beautiful Cocoon vanity and fixtures.

The primary bedroom suite, awash in tonal whites, is like sleeping in a cloud.  Design highlights including a whimsical garden-themed sculptural plaster wall, delicate filigree pendant lanterns, motorized shades and prima alpaca drapes that gently sway in the breeze, provide the ultimate in well-deserved decadence.  Further adding to the luxuriant suite is a private spa with soaking tub and shower overlooking the vineyards.  The ensuite bath features rose-copper fixtures and vanity, Pietra d’Avola honed marble tiles, and a ThermaSol™ steam shower that offers digital control with customized user selections. 

The serene guest studio, with private entrance, features stunning lacquered walls reflecting surrounding vineyard views, as well as a custom headboard and bedside tables.  Pendant lighting and a bespoke closet system compliment the space.  The ensuite bath features an elegant Nobilis wallcovering that gives the look and texture of natural wood. 

Enjoy the best in a wine country lifestyle that is expansive and inclusive with seamless indoor-outdoor living, alfresco dining, gardening, and relaxing by the pool.  Arcadia sliding doors open fully to seamlessly unite the exterior lounge and dining terrace that features a motorized louvered pergola, dual-sided fireplace, and stainless-steel outdoor kitchen featuring Hestan™ BBQ and refrigerated wine drawers.  

The Endless Pools® 8' x 10' fitness system creates a great workout with resistance swimming, or simply a refreshing plunge pool.  Exteriors, embraced by vineyards, native grass, and mature olive trees, feature ecologically engineered decking surface by Esthec™, Belgium designed, Atelier Vierkant™ planters, raised garden beds and lawn turf.
