Winding through the manicured forest until emerging to an uninterrupted and awe-inspiring vista out over the entire Ukiah Valley is one’s first impression coming into the 156.9 acres of Five Star Ranch. Upon passing through the entrance gates the road shepherds you through an olive grove that breaks out to reveal what is the Ranch’s masterpiece - a 5500 sq ft 3 bedroom, 5 bath Frank Loyd Wright-inspired house custom designed and built by Thomas Hise in 2007. Exuding refined modernity, entering the house is like entering a cathedral with towering ceilings rising in clean lines and sunlight raining down on you through the well-positioned skylights. Accompanying this is the sound of flowing water circulating inside and outside and creating a Koi pond underneath the floating staircase that leads you to the Great Room. With radiant floors throughout and an architectural design incorporating passive solar, the house remains a consistent and comforting temperature. A house of this magnitude is built for entertaining and the Chef’s Kitchen does not disappoint. With granite counters, two Viking stoves, a Viking Range with indoor grill and flat top, Sub- Zero Fridge, stainless steel prep counters, custom-designed pantry, appliance garage, and a full bar with wine fridge there is not much wanting. Out of the Great Room, with its large fireplaces and endless views across the horizon, one opens the french doors to the entertainment patio and 45-foot Infinity Pool and Jacuzzi. If tranquility and shade are desired then the grapevine pergola at the back courtyard is the place to be. The Master en suite has his and her closets, french doors to separate balconies, luxurious bathroom with an Italian marble bath. The second master en suite is equally impressive. There is a third bedroom and currently used as an office also with expansive views. There are 2 separate - two-car garages wherein one of the garages has been converted to a gym.Water is sourced from a 24GPM well and there is a sophisticated filtration system in place as well as over 2000 gravity-fed gallon water storage. To ensure further self-sufficiency, there is a 24 KW generator for the whole house electrical backup and a 12KW solar array to feed back into the grid.The exterior house design and the surrounding landscaping were placed in contemplation of creating a defensive space. The Ranch is entirely deer fenced though with some corridors currently left open to allow the free movement of wildlife. There are additional high fences protecting the gardens and orchards. The herb gardens, orchards, and olive groves are protected by a high fence. Up until recently, the Ranch had 20 acres planted to vineyards. The infrastructure is in place to replant including two ponds with more than 20-acre feet of water storage and pumps for irrigation and fire protection from one end of the property to another. The Ranch has historically run cattle, llamas, and sheep, and corrals and selective fencing are in place to continue this operation or to convert the same to the horse pasture. Wildlife abounds include Blacktail deer, wild turkey, quail, grouse, and other species of majestic birds including peregrine falcons and bald eagles, etc. There are numerous roads and trails throughout the property that meander in and out of oak and fir forests. On the northeast side of the property and hidden in its own meadow, is the outdoor BBQ and entertainment pavilion with bathroom and shower, just one of the many places to enjoy around this one-of-a-kind, exquisite property to round out what is truly Five Star experience.   Property Highlights:HOUSE FEATURES:5500 sq ft 3 bedroom, 5 bath Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home, custom-designed and built by Thomas HiseRadiant floor heating with zone control powered by Nest smart thermostats and A/CPassive solar building design with controllable vent to meter airflowSkylights in all main living areas and master bathTravertine floorsMitered glass windowsFrench doors to 5 separate patio spaces4 fireplaces, 3 wood burning with gas-assist, and 1 fully gas in the master suite15’ High ceilings in the great roomGrand entrance with indoor fountain/Koi pond, floating staircase, and 23-foot high ceilingItalian marble master bath surrounded by a large shower that features 3 shower heads and a separate soaker tubMaster suite with private dressing room and his and hers walk-in closets and French doors to 2 separate balconiesSecond bedroom with private en-suite bathroom8-foot island with prep sink and garbage disposal2 Viking ovens2 dishwashersViking range with indoor grill and flattop42” Sub Zero fridgeReverse Osmosis water filtration systemAppliance garageCustom cherry cabinetsStainless steel prep countersGranite counters and backsplashCustom walk-in pantryBar with built-in wine fridge“Panic room”/wine cellar2 separate his and her 2 car garagesEXTERIOR FEATURES:Grapevine pergola stretching over main patio featuring multiple varietals of table grapes120” outdoor movie projector screenOutdoor barPool- 45-foot lap pool with newly refinished infinity edgeHot tubIlluminated outdoor entry fountainBeautiful landscaping and stonework prominent around the entire homeRainbird controlled irrigation to lawn and landscapingHerb garden and deer fenced hobby garden1-acre orchard featuring pomegranate, pluery, pluot trees, and several varietals of plums, cherries, peaches, and apples.
