1280 State Highway 20, Upper Lake CA 95485 | $990,000

This extraordinary 44-acre hilltop estate is a labor of love, meticulously crafted from its inception, designed with sustainability and beauty in mind. It provides unparalleled panoramic views of Clear Lake from the home and the 5-acre deer-fenced olive orchard which was planted in 2006 with 500 Tuscan olive trees. The orchard is dry-farmed and produces about 100 gallons of extra-virgin olive oil annually, processed and bottled on-site with a stainless-steel hammer mill. This property is self-contained and off-grid, powered by a 5,000+ watt solar system servicing both the home and the orchard. Water is abundant with two wells, ensuring reliable water production year-round. The home, built in 2011, is a 2BD/2BA 2300 sqf custom design. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a wall of windows and bi-fold glass doors, framing the unobstructed views of the valley, orchards, Clear Lake and Mt. Konocti. The open-concept living space features a curved stone wall anchoring the great room, oak flooring, pine beam ceilings and custom wood finishes. The homes kitchen includes handcrafted cabinets and granite countertops. Both spacious bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms finished in neutral tones, and an additional loft area offers flexible space that can serve as extra sleeping quarters, a home office or recreation room. Outside, a vast deck is perfect for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the amazing views. The estate also includes an oversized 2-car garage, a bunkhouse/equipment shed, an olive oil processing shed, and additional full bathroom, all surrounded by mat
