Whispering Oaks Estate

Whispering Oaks Estate is a magnificent private haven that celebrates its location in the heart of Sonoma County’s Wine Country. Superbly located within the prestigious enclave of Shiloh Estates, it consists of approximately 40 majestic acres of oak woodlands and sun splashed meadows teeming with deer, turkey and other natural wildlife. This timeless backdrop provides the perfect setting for the estate and from the moment you arrive through the gated entry it will charm you! Lush landscaping, a captivating view of Mt. Saint Helena and the soothing sound of water greet you.  

The main residence is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired masterpiece designed by famed Laguna Beach architect Daniel Martinez as a lifelong place for family and friends to gather and savor the good life. Nestled among the stately oaks, the 6150+/- square foot home is beaming with unrivaled quality and artisan craftsmanship complemented by exquisite grounds and spectacular sweeping vistas of the renowned Russian River Valley. It has graced both the cover of Extraordinary Homes of California and Trends Magazine – a testament to its stunning architecture and exceptional quality.  

The home beckons with large yet intimate and inviting rooms that flow effortlessly into one another and to the outdoors with its gracious, expansive terraces and dazzling infinity edge pool which overlook the endless views.   

Of the myriad highlights are the great room with its massive fireplace framed by triple sliding glass doors that open to the outdoors, a state of the art gourmet kitchen that would delight any chef, a temperature controlled wine cellar with 1700+ bottle capacity and a luxurious master suite with fireplace and sitting area - a perfect place to relax and relish the sublime views. The estate also includes a 2850+/ square foot studio built to the same specifications as the main house.  

This is the consummate home for Wine Country living and entertaining. No expense has been spared, no detail overlooked.
