This California Villa With A Vineyard, 100-Car Garage, And Its Own 1950s Diner Is Freaking Incredible
We’ve seen a lot of mansions
that one would consider a “dream home,” but this California villa
currently up for sale that has a vineyard, a 100-car garage, and its own
1950s diner is literally where I want to go when I die. And the price
tag is actually very reasonable.
Located on 80 acres of land in Fairfield, 20 minutes from Napa, Villa
De Madre is currently is listed for just $12.9 million. You will
understand why I say “just” in a few moments.
The Villa De Madre Estate has 63 acres of cabernet vineyards,
while the 22,882-square-foot main home boasts marble fireplaces,
hand-painted murals, a living room with a 40-foot-tall ceiling, a double
winding staircase, an indoor pool covered by a ceiling of glass, six
bedrooms, eight baths, an in-law apartment, a wine cave, and an
elevator.
There is also a chef’s kitchen with three ovens, four freezers and
built-in step stools. And oh yeah, all of the furnishings come with the
home.
The two car barns are a re-creation of a typical 1950s Main Street with storefront facades and a diner with a working soda fountain.
You also get a four-bedroom caretaker’s cottage and a 24,000-square-foot vineyard equipment barn because, as SFGate
reports, “the vineyards provide grapes for making up to 150,000 bottles
of wine and olive trees provide ample crop for bottling your own olive
oil.”

Because Even The GT3 RS Needs Its Own Special Edition Package
2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS gets faster still with Weissach Package
$18,000, plus another $13,000 if you want the lightweight wheels
Visually, the Weissach Package makes itself known with copious amounts of carbon fiber. The hood, roof, wing and trunk lid are all naked carbon. The wing itself features the Porsche logo across its width. Not that it needs it, but optional $13,000 forged-magnesium wheels further help the car stand out. Inside, the Weissach Package adds a logo on the headrests and a badge on the dashboard.
It's not just for show. All in, the Weissach Package and magnesium wheels drop the GT3 RS' weight to just 3,153 pounds. The carbon fiber adds up; 1.1 pounds from the roof, 11.9 pounds from carbon-fiber stabilizer bars and suspension coupling rods, and 0.5 pounds from carbon-fiber steering wheel and shift paddles. The wheels save 25 pounds compared to an aluminum set.
All the rest of the GT3 RS parts carry over — 4.0-liter flat-six, seven-speed PDK, NACA ducts in the front trunk lid, carbon-fiber bucket seats and more. The GT3 RS can be yours for the starting price of just $188,550. That's of course before any options, including the new Weissach Package or your special paint-to-match finish.
