Two welcoming homes share expansive estate in Boonville
Refined, yet rural, 16300 Highway 128 in Boonville provides the perfect setting for a family retreat. A pair of two-bedroom country homes rest atop a knoll surrounded by vineyards and tree-studded foothills. Both homes boast open floor plans and include wraparound porches.
