plank floor with polished travertine marble inlay, large post beamed ceiling in white-
washed finish, and steel framed windows.
The kitchen is a culinary enthusiast’s dream with ample room for preparation on
Travertine marble counters and a BlueStar professional range, ideal for cooking
large meals. The kitchen's long bank of folding buffet windows opens onto the
exterior dining area.
The formal dining room is a grand, elongated space with high ceilings. Lined tall 19th
century solarium glass doors that open to terraces on both sides, it allows for a
delightful indoor-outdoor dining experience. At the far end an antique stove and cigar
balcony frame Mt. St. Helena while a whimsical chandelier overhead creates an
enchanting ambiance.
The primary wing, a collection of separate rooms a few steps above the main level,
includes a cozy conversation lounge, a serene bedroom, two white marble bathrooms,
and a charming reading nook with its own fireplace. Ascending another short
stairway leads to the dormer level, where two additional bedrooms, a bathing room,
and a separate toilet room are located. These dormer spaces offer a cozy and
intimate retreat, perfect for guests or family members.
The guest cottage adds an additional 565+/- square feet and offers a welcoming and
private retreat for visitors. It includes a spacious bedroom, a full bathroom, a well-
appointed kitchen, and a comfortable living area that opens directly to one end of the
pool, providing a seamless connection to the outdoors. A 500+/- square-foot artist
studio thoughtfully located away from the main and guest houses offers a serene
and inspiring environment for creative endeavors or quiet contemplation.
The property itself is situated on a gently sloped hillside adorned with mature trees
and meticulously curated landscaping that feature a variety of lush plantings which
create a peaceful and private sanctuary around the grass-lined dark-bottom pool.
The thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces offer several areas for entertaining or
relaxation and repose, and not only enhance the property’s charm but provide
strength and resilience against the elements.
The unique blend of architectural elements, combined with its prime location, makes
this property truly stand out in the market. 971 Petrified Forest Rd. is more than just a
residence; it is a sanctuary of elegance, history, and modern luxury. Guests have
commented that it’s a “warm, inviting, and intimate home that hugs you. A hideaway.”
