Cory Lane Estate
Glen Ellen, CA
Opening Snapshot
Tucked off a long, winding road just a few miles from town, this estate delivers sweeping vineyard views and a mix of old-school charm and new-school wow. The main house is a remodeled two-story with vaulted ceilings, wraparound decks, and light pouring in upstairs, but the real showstopper here is everything added around it: a resort-style pool, a gleaming outdoor kitchen, a modern guest house, and play spaces galore. It’s equal parts wine-country getaway and luxury playground.

What we love
The pool and pool pavilion are jaw-dropping — easily among the prettiest we’ve ever seen. Think luxury hotel vibes: sleek, expansive, Instagrammable from every angle. The outdoor stainless-steel kitchen is modern, functional, and perfect for grilling up a feast. The main living floor upstairs is airy and bright, with vaulted ceilings and views of rolling hills and forests that stretch forever. The guest house and pool don’t share the same long views, but the landscaping around them is so lush and beautiful, it hardly matters. Add in a one-hole golf course and a sport court that toggles between badminton and volleyball, and this estate feels like its own private resort.
Keep in Mind
The main house, while lovely, isn’t quite at the same fit-and-finish level as the dazzling new pavilion and guest house. It retains some 1970s quirks alongside the updates. Getting here also means a winding drive — it’s not hard, but it’s not the easiest hop into town either. The bedrooms below are cozy and well-appointed but a little darker — a trade-off for putting the best light and scenery where you’ll spend your days.
The Brag
Joe B. lens:
The pool pavilion blew me away. It’s the kind of outdoor entertaining space you’d expect at a five-star resort — only this one’s all yours.
Joe R. lens:
The guest house adds versatility — perfect as a clubhouse for kids, a private space for in-laws, or even a remote-work hideout. Add in the play court and golf hole, and this place has balance in spades.
Together we agree:
The mix of resort-level amenities and homey main house charm makes Cory Lane Estate ideal for groups who want space, variety, and fun.
Getting Around
It’s a short drive to Glen Ellen and Sonoma, with wineries, markets, and dining close at hand. But with this much to do onsite — from swimming to bocce to grilling poolside — you may find yourself staying put more than you planned.
