About 5630 Grazing Hill Road
Spectacular and truly custom, this 10+ acre gated Legacy Ranch with two homes presents a rare architectural marvel with sweeping views of the Sacramento city lights and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada Mountains. Designed by renowned environmental architect David Wright, the estate is thoughtfully patterned after the classic Australian Ranch style, defined by openness, material integrity, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The design features an expansive open floor plan, corrugated metal roofing with 6-inch solid copper gutters and accents, and distinctive copper elements woven throughout the estate, including patina-finished chimney caps and custom interior detailing. Sustainability is integral, with alternative energy strategies such as a concrete slab floor and structural insulated panel walls, as well as a superior owned solar system with Tesla batteries, and a backup generator. Circulating radiant floor heating delivers year-round comfort with efficiency and economy. The main home offers over 4,600 square feet of refined indoor/outdoor living and is organized around an open courtyard with patio, pool, spa, gas fire pit, and built-in BBQ. Interiors include four en suite bedrooms, an office, wood-cased dual-pane windows and a 16-foot walk-in vault with solid concrete block construction and built-in cabinetry. The interior experience is both bold and unexpected. At the center of the home is a dramatic entertaining bar with granite counters, copper sink, floating bar stools, refrigerator, clear ice maker, and dishwasher. The chef's kitchen is appointed with a dual-fuel Dacor range with six-burner cooktop, built-in refrigerator, double sinks, cherrywood cabinetry, and a spacious pantry accented with stained glass. Infrastructure includes a four-car attached garage, a six-car detached garage with an oversized 60' x 44' drive-through motorhome bay, and an additional detached RV & boat drive-through garage. The grounds feature a three-stall barn with power, fenced and cross-fenced pastures, paddock areas with triple-rail vinyl fencing, a fenced garden, and an olive tree orchard. Completing the estate is a 700-square-foot guest home, designed to match the main residence, offering a spacious living room, bedroom, and full bathroom, ideal for extended family, guests, or a property caretaker. This legacy ranch of architectural distinction was built with intention, and impossible to replicate.
