You walk in at the upper level of this fully furnished California vacation home to an open and modern main living space with a large gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. “Nearly every room of this home was designed to take in the landscape, and the great room is no exception,” says Seth Cotter, real estate sales and new development specialist at Ohana Realty. An open kitchen and dining room are designed with warm wood tones and subtly sophisticated furnishings.

Outside, on two levels of terrace, you can sit by the fire pit on a cool night, take in the view from the sofa swing or take a dip in the plunge pool. Custom wine storage has space to display a private collection. On the lower level, there are three more bedrooms, each with an en suite bath and sliding glass doors to the lower terrace. “Unlike the ostentatious luxury of other high-end destinations, Healdsburg offers a more private and understated elegance,” says Cotter. “The vibe at Montage Residences Healdsburg is luxurious and down-to-earth.”

Unlike a private second home off grounds, properties here boast an effortless ownership experience with fully equipped kitchens, fully furnished rooms and even soap in the dispensers when you come to stay. The residential community has its own concierge service to help maintain homes while owners are away, secure restaurant reservations, and coordinate services like dry cleaning.

Owners can take advantage of all the resort’s amenities during their stay. Golf, cycling, swimming, hiking, pickleball, archery and yoga are available on site. The Spa Montage is an 11,500-square-foot retreat offering serene spa services in 11 treatment rooms. Many owners of properties here seek out the farm-to-table and Michelin-star dining and fine wine options locally, both at the 258-acre community and hotel and nearby downtown Healdsburg, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley. The estate has its own vineyards, apiary and an orchard of hazelnut trees.

Of course, being in the heart of wine country, the property’s 12 acres of vines bear many varieties, including malbec, merlot, petite verdot, sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvingnon and cabernet franc grapes to create private label releases. “The vineyards are tended to by a team of wine experts led by Jesse Katz, and the internationally renowned winemaker is available for behind-the-scenes winery tours and intimate dinners,” says Cotter. “As a benefit of homeownership, founding residents can have a row of the vines christened in their name.”
