Living Room
There is a decidedly country home feel to the main house interior, which features hardwood floors and pale woodwork, illuminated by numerous skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors.

The outdoors are invited in at every opportunity in the main residence, and the grounds in this secluded canyon are scenic from just about every angle.

The spacious master bedroom features a sitting area with a fireplace and large windows that frame views of the lush grounds.
Master Bathroom
Even the master bathroom has a cozy country feel, enhanced by a wood burning fireplace.
Library
Built-in bookshelves and a large window line the cozy country library.
Patio
Expansive patios shaded by wooden pergolas are ideal for enjoying a glass of wine. Private and public tastings can be accommodated.
Pool
Among the property's amenities are lush lawns and a sparkling lap pool.
13-Acre Grounds
Also included on the estate are a guesthouse, staff quarters and a 4,400-square-foot office and production facility that houses the winery sales office.
Vineyard
The property actually has eight mini-vineyards that all contribute distinct grapes to the Moraga blends. It's situated just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, in a canyon near the Getty Center.
Vineyard
Victor Fleming, director of both Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, was the first owner of the property. In his day it was a horse ranch. Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh, Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman, along with U.S. presidents and international dignitaries, have all been entertained on its lush grounds.
Wine Cave
The 13-acre estate and winery comes with a $4 million wine inventory, some of which is stored in the Wine Cave.
