Straight From the Vine

Hidden away among vineyards and rolling hillsides in southern California, this is an estate that's as picturesque as they come. The outside area has been designed to appreciate the gorgeous views and you can admire these from the comfort of the infinity pool, in the hot tub or sat around the barbecue and fire pit area. There's ample space for alfresco dining on the covered terrace, but there are also grassy areas to play outdoor games, like cornhole. Inside, further distractions await in the shape of the games room, which features ping-pong, foosball and pool. Though the location feels perfectly isolated, there's plenty to do nearby. The city of Temecula takes under twenty-five minutes to reach in the car and offers opportunities for winery tours, hot air balloon rides and dining in high-end restaurants. Similarly, the roaring waters of Ortega Falls are just a thirty-five-minute drive away.
