A well-kept secret by design, Woolf Ranch Estate offers quiet rural living on 161 acres atop the exclusive Guadalupe Ridge in Mariposa County. Exquisite living at 2,650 foot elevation with unmatched 360 degree views; a fulfilled vision and a legacy of original Beverly Hills architect/designer sole owners who created a sophisticated place to reside and run their corporation. Their inspiration was prescient; blending beauty, technology, ease of maintenance and self-sufficiency long before sustainable became a household word. The 4,800 square foot interior is ideal for large parties, private dinners or solitude; a temple of pristine spaces, affording clean natural and art lighting by design day or night. The uninhibited dome of sky and breathtaking land views, visible from every room change with each hour of the day and season. The elegance of the clean lines and high ceilings are unpretentiously naturalized by the gorgeous use of different woods (teak, alder, pine, oak, maple, redwood, mahogany, and walnut) throughout. Natural stone fireplaces grace the dining room, library/media room, primary bedroom suite, and the spacious living room, using rock harvested from the property.
The impressive entry with its sweeping staircase is flanked by the living room and the library. The living room/great room features an expanse of windows, bringing the outdoors in from three directions. The library/media room has two walls of built-in cube shelving and theater surround-sound, making it a perfect retreat. Under shape-sculpted soffits and arches opening from the entry hall, a small nook with its window, adjacent to a powder room, throws off still more directed natural light into the space as you make your way to the inviting dining room, accented by award winning designer light fixtures replicated from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and brought up by the owners from their previous Beverly Hills residence. A custom stained-glass work of art, also installed from the former residence, crowns the wide windows opening to the huge views of Moore Hill and Ward Mountain toward the Sierra. Just beyond the dining room are double French doors to the peaceful rear redwood deck, where you can soak in the tranquility and long views, and observe gentle local wildlife (foxes, deer, cottontails, squirrels), red-tailed hawks, and the enchanting finches and sparrows. The kitchen will delight both the serious culinary professional or family foodie chef with its premium separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf range, Gaggenau double oven, and walk-in pantry. Theres even a convenient dumbwaiter from the kitchen to the huge upstairs master bedroom. A well-equipped tool/workbench and home gym off the kitchen (possible 3rd bedroom) complete the lower level. On the second floor, youll find two en-suite bedrooms. The primary suite boasts a custom-designed built-in king bed, dual cedar-lined walk-in closets, deep Jacuzzi tub, glass block shower, and large redwood balcony with spectacular unobstructed views. Your overnight visitors will appreciate 5-star luxury in the lovely guest room with its own huge views, private bath and marble shower. A dedicated shipping/gift room, closed off by a louvered door, is unobtrusively adjacent. The long, clean, pine-floored upstairs hallway opens on either side to a home office, laundry room, utility closet, and stairs leading to the full attic and observation cupola.
Already established for business purposes, the detached 425 SF studio/office is complete with built-in workstations and high speed wireless/DSL internet connectivity, and served well by door-front deliveries by FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. Local area services are personalized and attentive with rapid response times.
The immediate perimeter accentuates the natural land as the intentional landscape.
