Valley Brook

Nestled into a brookside valley with mature oaks, redwoods, and ample level space, our clients were able to bring their dream of a forever home with an understated, serene vibe into reality. With requests for areas that featured sun and shade, plenty of opportunities were created for both.

Wine-country enthusiasts, the clients worked with their design team to create a space with echoes of beloved terroir: sun-drenched Mediterranean gardens, woven willow branch-trellising, fountains evoking Tuscany and grape vines of their own.

Artistic custom details are featured throughout including a fence designed for sound dampening, a unique gate design to set the tone as you enter the property and a putting green that blends seamlessly into the landscape between the primary home and guesthouse.
