Reminiscent of lush Italian estates combining natural beauty and artistic refinement, the expansive 5.00 acres features a lavender field, a small producing vineyard and a vibrant olive grove with century old trees. The mature, irrigated landscape is highlighted by roses, geraniums, bergamot and cypress trees and much more. The fenced and gated rural homestead, adjacent to Bear Yuba Land Trust, an open space preserve, features a sophisticated and spacious stucco manor house (3/3) with a clay tile roof as well as a separate guest cottage (1/1) and an ample free-standing commercial grade kitchen with a wood fired oven. The professional agritourism facility is licensed for fundraising events and catering and allows for the continuation of an established and profitable onsite bakery operation. Here's the perfect property for a luxury AirBnb/VRBO. Special touches in the main residence include antique, French made tile floors, hand carved limestone fireplaces, a carved oak entry door and murals by a renowned international painter. There is also an owned solar system with high capacity storage and a solar water pump and storage tank. Additional amenities are an underground wine cellar, travertine tile terrace with a custom metal pergola, a front French limestone drinking fountain and a rear cast iron garden fountain from Scotland circa 1890. The owners purchased the property in 2011 and embarked on a quest to create a serene sanctuary encompassing all essential elements for an organic, self-sustaining environment. The result is the successful blending of a gracious lifestyle with continental accents coupled with engaging home-based business opportunities. Horses and livestock are permitted. Located in a private but easily accessible setting on a paved street in a certified Firewise neighborhood, Villa Lavinia is literally down the road from shopping, services, schools and several lakes. Discover a distinctive architectural gem with exceptional design qualities that radiate with timeless appeal and character plus the energy and ambiance of a captivating country retreat.
