The Calistoga Custom is a custom construction built in the stunning hillside of Calistoga, California. This modern residence is defined by its striking horizontal lines, eclectic interior style, and expansive glass walls framing the breathtaking views of its surroundings. This home consists of 11 prefabricated modules with a large site-built great room that flows into the backyard pool and outdoor kitchen. Though it is just a 10 minute drive from downtown Calistoga, this residence maintains a removed and private feel, perfect for a weekend getaway.
