Inside the $11.5 Million California Wine Country Estate an Architect Designed for His Family

Mexican-born, California-based architect Juan Diego Perez-Vargas is known for his contributions to major hospitality projects for Rosewood , Banyan Tree, and W throughout Mexico and California. But when it came to designing his own home, a sprawling family sanctuary in Sonoma, California, he looked to the dry climate and ancient oak groves to create a property that was reminiscent of his childhood growing up in both Mexico and Arizona. Indeed, Perez-Vargas chose the land for its unique terrain, and now the Fisher Lane home can be yours for $11.5 million . The 4,377-square-foot residence has the option to come fully furnished, including the artwork.

“I wanted to create an elevated living experience, where architectural sophistication and a unique sense of wine country magic meet the serene beauty of nature, delivering a home that is truly exceptional and timeless,” says Juan Diego Perez-Vargas.

Set on three flat acres, the property is dominated by natural beauty, with two natural creeks that flow along the perimeter, soaring mature trees, rolling meadows, ample lawn space, and, of course, vineyards . It has a Mediterranean-esque climate that takes advantage of Sonoma’s characteristically warm and sunny weather and allows for breezy indoor-outdoor living. Beyond the private gates, a driveway lined with maple and olive trees gives a sense of seclusion and tranquility from the moment you enter. Perez-Vargas is known for his interest in and commitment to sustainability, and this property is no different. It was built with sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems to reduce impact on the environment, including a water filtration system, solar power, a natural gas-powered backup generator, and radiant heating.
