This European-inspired home should be experienced in person, as no description can do it justice. Called The Eagle's Lair, this estate is situated on a knoll above the Gold Country town of Columbia - a mere 15-minute drive to downtown Sonora, 30 minutes from the new wine country of Murphy's and 2.5 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area. When you consider the prices of homes in the Bay Area, the Eagle's Lair is a Gold Country treasure beyond compare. As you ascend the country road leading to the entry gate of the home, you leave concerns and stress behind. The Eagle's Lair is finished with high quality material and excellent craftsmanship. From the glossy Carrara marble in the master bath to the wrought iron and rich wood of the curved stair rail to the custom balustrades along the terrace, the home is a detailed masterpiece. What you will find most impressive about this grand home is just that - it is a true home. The layout and flow of the rooms make it comfortable and easy to live in. An oasis in the sky that would serve as a perfect retreat from the hustle of city living could also just as easily serve as a family residence. Beyond the home itself, you'll be awed by breathtaking views. The mountain drops two thousand feet into the valley below, curving into rolling hillsides where city lights glitter in the distance. The view stretches 70 miles and can be enjoyed on the terrace year-round and from the many soaring windows in the home. This estate is an escape from the stresses of the world. Private and luxurious with wonderful cozy details that make every day a pleasure to experience. This is a home where you can relax, be cozy and private, while also being invigorated by the fresh mountain air and your private, soaring view of the world around you. A detailed description of the home and it's many features is available upon request to qualified buyers.
