Description
Fresno County Historic Estate | Circa 1910
A landmark of Central California heritage, this extraordinary 1910 estate was commissioned by Sun-Maid founder H.H. Welsh and masterfully designed by acclaimed architect J.J. Blick. Spanning approximately 7,850 square feet on five pristine acres, it remains the only known Blick-designed residence in the region a rare architectural treasure meticulously restored for modern living.
A residence of true provenance, the estate welcomed President Herbert Hoover in 1930, adding to a legacy that few properties can claim.
Inside, timeless craftsmanship defines every space. Original hardwood floors extend throughout gracious entertaining rooms, including two expansive living salons, a formal dining room, sunrooms bathed in natural light, a distinguished study, and four generously appointed bedrooms. Five original Batchelder tile fireplaces anchor the home with warmth and character, while heirloom details original chandeliers, a sweeping Spanish mahogany and oak staircase, Kokomo stained glass also used by Tiffany Studios, and custom padded silk walls showcase a level of artistry seldom found today.
The chef's kitchen blends period integrity with contemporary performance, featuring a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and thoughtfully integrated modern systems. Mitsubishi split systems provide efficient climate control, complemented by a recirculation pump for instant hot water. The study retains its original hand-rubbed lacquer built-ins and custom Donghia fabric drapery a testament to the home's enduring refinement.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer both scale and serenity, adorned with rare French Limoges porcelain doorknobs. The primary bath is finished with heated marble floors, seamlessly marrying luxury with comfort.
Beyond the residence, the grounds unfold as a private orchard sanctuary. Mature 100-year-old pomegranate and fig trees, table grapes, 50 fruit trees on drip irrigation, a rose garden featuring David Austin varietals, and a charming chicken coop create an estate lifestyle rooted in abundance and self-sustainability. A field-mounted solar array enhances efficiency while preserving the estate's historic character.
A property of this caliber architecturally significant, historically important, and thoughtfully modernized is not simply owned. It is stewarded.
A rare opportunity to carry forward a Fresno legacy.
