Set on the Mokelumne River, in the Lodi wine appellation, is a little gem and one of the Central Valley best kept secrets. It is one of 18 homes on a natural lagoon fed by the Mokelumne River. Homeowners have 37 acres of wilderness right in their backyards, with a boat launch, private beach and party area with BBQ for large parties. It is located in Lodi, California, just 35 minutes from Sacramento, 1 1/2 hours from San Francisco, and 2 hours from Lake Tahoe by car. This home was architecturally designed in the early 60's with many Frank Lloyd Wright features. All glass facing the back lets light and panoramic views of the wilderness and river become part of the interior as well as the exterior living space. Boat access makes this a perfect place for kayaks and canoes and paddle boarding, opening a whole world of nature right off your backyard. Approximately 10 years ago, Jack Chandler (www.lackchandlerdesign.com), a landscape architect from Yountville, Ca., redesigned the entire property. Jack won Sunset Magazine's coveted award for Best Western Architect of the year several years in a row. His elevations added beauty and new space to the already magnificent setting. A pool was added, as well as 2,000 sq. ft deck with pergola right on the water. There is an outdoor BBQ sink, counter and space for refrigerator just above deck for outdoor entertaining. The house has 4,700 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms, 4 baths. There is a formal dining room, large living room, kitchen with family living area. The laundry room and pantry are spacious and well appointed. Kitchen has gaggenau appliances, including newest steam oven. Inter floors are tile and all outdoor surfaces are stone. Contact: Russ Munson (russ@winerose.com), tel. (209) 371-6103
