Murphys Luxe Mountain Living

Mediterranean Mountain Estate — Where Wine Country Meets the Sierras
Nestled on 40+ private acres just minutes from Murphys and Arnold, this Mediterranean-style mountain estate captures the best of both worlds — the refined elegance of wine country and the tranquil beauty of Sierra mountain living.

Murphys, known as “The Queen of the Sierra,” draws visitors from across California for its boutique tasting rooms, fine dining, and small-town charm. Just up the road, Arnold offers year-round adventure with nearby Big Trees State Park, lakes, and scenic trails. Together, these destinations embody the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation — and this property puts you right at the heart of it.

A private gated drive leads to a grand courtyard with a fountain and magnificent imported wood doors that speak of timeless craftsmanship. Inside, natural light filters through every window, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a luxurious treehouse among the pines.

The great room is anchored by a massive stone fireplace and opens seamlessly to the gourmet kitchen — a culinary haven with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious layout perfect for entertaining. Just off the kitchen, the wet bar adds an elegant touch for gatherings and evening enjoyment.

Two primary suites each offer spa-inspired baths, large walk-in closets, and peaceful views of the trees, mountains, and stars. Upstairs, a long window-lined hall leads to the game room and bar, which opens to a private terrace — ideal for movie nights, poker games, or quiet relaxation.

A flexible office and bonus suite provide space for guests, caregivers, or hobbies. Every detail in this home reflects thoughtful design — from the wood floors and custom windows that frame the landscape to the travertine tile and hand-laid artisan inlay work throughout.

A breezeway connects to the oversized garage with ample space for a boat or RV. Outdoors, manicured grounds blend natural beauty with refined living — multiple patios, a pool, spa, bocce court, and horseshoe pit create the ultimate foothill retreat. With room for horses, livestock, or private trails, this is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle, framed by nature and crafted in luxury.
