This spectacular estate is going up for auction on Sept 10, An unbelievable opportunity that you can obtain at amazing value. Premier Estates Auction Company is proud to welcome you to the Suisun Valley. Not far from Napa Valley, and situated halfway between our state's capital, Sacramento, and the world famous, San Francisco Bay. Like a great villa suddenly appearing in the Tuscan Vallies of Italy, Villa de Madre grabs your attention. Is it real or is it a dream? It is certainly real. Nearly 23,000 square feet of it and flanked by 80 acres of pristine, rich valley earth. The Estate graces your welcome with an olive tree-lined driveway leading you to the main residence. a stunning Mediterranean estate home. You're immediately taken by the soaring 24 foot ceilings and the gorgeous dual winding staircases. The one feature you can't seem to get enough of and is perfectly placed outside of every room in the estate are the pastoral valley views. The builder obviously thought of that when designing and constructing the Estate. My name is Lisa Sutton, our company Sutton Construction, Inc. built the home for Willis and Joyce. The home is primarily 24' x 24' Jerusalem gold limestone; it's honed. When you get into the formal areas, we did polished marble in Jerusalem Limestone. Crema Marfil polished in the dining rooms. There's Michelangelo granite around the formal fireplaces. This home was designed and built with love for family, friends, great parties... There's not a room in the house that's not missing a ceiling detail, a piece of crown molding... The overall property is the most unique property that you're ever going to find. The centerpiece of his great Estate: the great room. It's graced with this grand fireplace custom crafted from floor to ceiling 24 feet tall! So if you ever want to get away from it all, you certainly don't have to go far in this Estate, because you can step right into your own indoor swimming pool room. 34 foot tall ceilings, walls of glass... The master retreat: once you step foot in here you may never want to leave again. At over 2,000 square feet you could actually get lost in this place. The retreat features his and her offices, frescoes on the walls and the ceilings. And tucked in the lower North corner of this grand Estate is the guest quarters: a two bedroom retreat.

Welcome to the vineyards, 63 acres of spectacular growth. Suisun Valley is known as Napa's little sister and is quickly becoming known for the quality of its grapes, attracting vintners to buy and bottle across the valley. I'm Frank Vezer and this is Manka's Corner This is the Petite Sirah capital of the world, officially registered. I'm Peter Halikas, I'm the Chef and Owner of Manka's Steakhouse. This county, overall, is the 12 oldest A.V.A. in the country. This valley holds the record for the highest price ever obtained for a Petite Sirah in the world at thirty thousand dollars for a one and a half bottle Magnum. So Napa Valley is the 11th oldest A.V.A. we're exactly four days younger than Napa Valley We are very proud of the climate and the appellation making some very nice wines and getting a lot of attention from many of the other wine producing regions right now. By the glass, we try to only features Suisun Valley wines and all the great varietals that are happening here. Also Suisun Valley is such a hub for produce. The climate is really nice...when it's really, really hot that's harder on your your vegetables. "Suisun" means "West Wind" and you can feel the wind, so it's you know pretty breezy but it's nice. We don't get that hot And it's just a beautiful location. You can be in San Francisco having dinner in an hour and Napa Valley 15 miles away, if you like snow ski Tahoe is two hours... It's a nice central location. It's just it's a beautiful area! We have names like Mondavi, Duck Horn and Caymus and Boisset... now we have the Gallo which is buying the grapes for a higher quality of a grape than the Central Valley. So many people have a bottle of Napa, or a bottle of Bordeaux in their cellar, but how many people have a bottle of Suisun Valley? I'm Tom Snell, the General Manager of Green Valley Country Club. The Golf Course is exceptional. We've hosted the last three USGA Senior Open qualifying. Full driving range, practice area and chipping and putting green.

Description

The area around Mankas Corner is primarily agricultural, with the main crops being wine grapes and olives. However, row crops such as wheat, sorghum, sunflowers and soy beans are important also. The area has a semi-coastal Mediterranean climate, and sits at a relatively low elevation of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The terrain is flat, but there are mountains on three sides. Prominent landmarks visible from Mankas Corner are Mt. Diablo, which is visible to the south across the Suisun Bay estuary, the twin summit of Twin Sisters, which is the high point in the Howell Mountains to the west, and the Blue Ridge of the Vaca Mountains, a prominent escarpment visible to the east.

History

Manka's Corner in 1902

Mankas Corner is named after Christley Manka (1814–1888), who in 1855 bought from John Barton an interest in a store and tavern at that location. It was then the intersection of the Benicia-to-Suisun City stagecoach route and the main road running between Suisun and the Berryessa Valley. Wheat from Berryessa Valley farms supplied grain to much of the state, and each harvest massive wagons drawn by multi-horse teams used the Suisun-Berryessa road to haul this wheat to the Suisun City port. The Suisun-Berryessa road was also part of the main route from San Francisco to the Sulphur Bank quicksilver mine in Knoxville, which meant that Barton and Manka's store sat at a major crossroads. Manka by 1859 had bought out Barton's interest in the store, and over the next forty years his store became a popular community center with an adjacent post office, blacksmith shop and Masonic Hall. Today a restaurant occupies the original site of the old store, with other establishments and a few residences nearby.[2][3][4][5]
