\u201cThis is my favorite house, my favorite of all time,\u201d listing agent Madison Fairchild of Coldwell Banker Real Estate<\/a> said. \u201cObviously, in the world of real estate, we have the privilege to walk a lot of people\u2019s homes and see how they\u2019re put together and everything that goes into it. And one thing that I can tell you about this property, very specifically, is the amount of attention to detail that went into the build, the aesthetic, the functionality. The level of quality, quite honestly, is unmatched.\u201d<\/p>\n The home is owned by Matt Dilegame, chief operating officer at tourism agency Visit California<\/a>, and Josh Dilegame. The 8,150-square-foot modern Mediterranean-style residence offers six bedrooms and five full bathrooms, plus a one-bedroom detached casita, on a 4.7-acre lot.<\/p>\n The property comes with one of the defining signatures of Clos du Lac: community vineyards that frame the drive in, soften the streetscape and can even help pay the bills.<\/p>\n The house is layered with headline amenities, including a great room with walls of glass overlooking Horseshoe Bar beach; a chef\u2019s kitchen that showcases a refrigerated, see-through glass produce display and a 92-inch custom French range; a 3,000-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar; a deluxe tiled dog bath; and a resort-style backyard anchored by an infinity-edge pool built around natural granite outcroppings and spotlighted by fire features, terraces and an outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n And then there are the home\u2019s front and back views. Fairchild summed up the double-sided spectacle.<\/p>\n \u201cThis view is truly one of a kind, when you have Folsom Lake that feels like it\u2019s sitting in your backyard, and then you look out the front of the house and you\u2019re staring over rolling vineyards, and you\u2019ve just got foothills for days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In the front yard, there\u2019s a large, stocked pond and massive rock waterfall.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a property built to make the most of sight lines \u2014 and built, in a sense, twice.<\/p>\n A remodeling project grows<\/p>\n When the property came on the market seven years ago, Matt Dilegame said he couldn\u2019t get a showing until after the weekend, but the wait didn\u2019t stop him from scouting the neighborhood right away. He drove through Clos du Lac, fell in love with the vineyard-lined, old-world atmosphere, and quickly decided the community\u2019s feel mattered more than whatever condition the house itself was in \u2014 so much so that he called his agent to say they had to make a move.<\/p>\n \u201cWe came through the community, drove around, and we just basically said, we don\u2019t really care what the house looks like, this is where we want to live, because of the community feel \u2014 it felt like you were driving through Tuscany,\u201d Dilegame said. \u201cI remember calling (our listing agent) and saying, \u2018We want to hit the market. And he\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, the seller won\u2019t show it till Monday.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Great, I\u2019m going to sneak through the gates.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n They bought the existing house and lot in December 2019, planning a relatively modest addition. That didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n \u201cWe sold our last house because we were downsizing,\u201d Dilegame recalled. \u201cWe found this house and it was 4,000 square feet, and we basically were like, \u2018We just need to add one bedroom and a wine room.\u2019 That was it. It was going to be like 600- to 1,000\u2011square\u2011foot addition.\u201d<\/p>\n But expansions have a way of behaving like yeast.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then the pandemic hit,\u201d Dilegame said. \u201c(The new plan) was about 6,000 square feet literally a month after we moved in, and I was working from home five days a week, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Okay, now I need an office again.\u2019 It just grew and grew and grew.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the area\u2019s largest homes<\/p>\n The estate is one of the largest homes in the region. With more than 5,000 current listings and pending sales in the Sacramento region, only 0.27% \u2014 about one-quarter of 1% \u2014 are 8,000 square feet or larger, according to Sacramento appraiser and housing market expert Ryan Lundquist.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLoomis has become a luxury enclave in recent years, and it is home to the highest number of $4 million sales over the past five years in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Dilegames\u2019 massive remodel wasn\u2019t just about adding space \u2014 it was about orienting the house to its best argument: the lake.<\/p>\n \u201cThe idea was to make this kind of the focal point looking out to the lake,\u201d he said, standing in the great room with floor-to-ceiling windows. \u201cBecause when you come through the front door here, that\u2019s your first vision of contact.\u201d<\/p>\n And to make that view smack visitors when they come in, they opened the entry.<\/p>\n \u201cWe opened everything so you could see all the way through the house from the front,\u201d Dilegame said.<\/p>\n \u201cMatt and Josh really did an incredible job paying attention to everything that they did, and it was very intentionally built,\u201d Fairchild said.<\/p>\n Dilegame, who\u2019s spent a career helping sell the state\u2019s image to the world, sounds like he\u2019s still a little amused by what he ended up buying.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very unique community in that the closest thing we found to something like this in a residential setting is actually in Argentina, where all the homes have vineyards in their front yards,\u201d he said. \u201cThe homeowner\u2019s association maintains all the vineyards throughout the community. Every home has its own vineyard. We sell the grapes to local wineries. That helps offset the HOA dues and gives the aesthetic that the community has.\u201d<\/p>\n The varietals lean more French than Italian: Petit Verdot, Petite Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre, Dilegame said.<\/p>\n The wine theme didn\u2019t stay outside. Dilegame said they started making wine during the COVID era as a way to fill the sudden downtime, eventually building out a full on-site production setup and turning out roughly 75 cases their first year. After a few seasons, he said, they\u2019d produced enough to feel comfortable hitting pause on the hobby.<\/p>\n As large as a bedroom, the home\u2019s 3,000-bottle, temperature-controlled wine room and cellar are built for obsession. One glass wall of the wine \u201ccellar\u201d doubles as artwork with bottles displayed and visible from the living room. The wine room is air\u2011conditioned separately for reds, whites and champagnes.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking, promoting California for the last 20 years, I\u2019ve fallen in love with California wine,\u201d Dilegame said.<\/p>\n The kitchen is the other centerpiece \u2014 not just because it\u2019s large, but because it\u2019s designed like a stage set for people who actually use it. It comes with a dirty kitchen.<\/p>\n Perhaps the coolest feature, literally, is the custom, glass-front refrigerator designed to act as a centerpiece for organized, fresh produce. Therein, fruits and vegetables look like art on display.<\/p>\n Dilegame admitted the inspiration for the display came from guilty-pleasure television watching.<\/p>\n \u201cI like trash TV, and so I watch a lot of \u2018Real Housewives,\u2019\u201d he said, remembering a similar appliance from Yolanda Hadid\u2019s Malibu home from a past season of the show. \u201cFor this house, I was like, I\u2019m absolutely doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n And yes, people notice: \u201cI actually had people come in and say, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s the Real Housewives fridge.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n From there, it\u2019s luxury with a wink \u2014 and some serious chef-grade backbone. The 92-inch range resembles a model from the premier French heritage brand La Cornue, but was actually customized made by American manufacturer L\u2019Atelier Paris.<\/p>\n The design challenge for the kitchen range was keeping the front yard view intact.<\/p>\n \u201cThe other piece that was hard with this is I didn\u2019t want a hood and I wanted a window behind the stove,\u201d he said. \u201cSo we put these downdrafts (vents) that pop up when you\u2019re cooking, and you still have the view, but you don\u2019t have the massive hood above.\u201d<\/p>\n Granite outcroppings<\/p>\n Outside, the estate doubles down on its most precious detail: the land itself. The infinity-edge pool was designed and built around large granite outcroppings.<\/p>\n \u201cThese rocks are earth,\u201d Fairchild said. \u201cYou can\u2019t replicate this. You won\u2019t replicate it.\u201d<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s the quiet of the grounds \u2014 the kind of quiet that becomes the luxury, even in a house full of high-tech toys.<\/p>\n \u201cCan you hear that? Nothing,\u201d co-listing agent Parris Krygsman of Coldwell Banker<\/a> said standing near the pool in the backyard. \u201cThat\u2019s how quiet it is all the time. You can decompress, have a cup of coffee, have a glass of wine.\u201d<\/p>\n Dilegame added: \u201cAnd if you wanted to, you really could live off the grid with this house.\u201d<\/p>\n He isn\u2019t exaggerating. The estate is set up to function almost like a self-contained compound, with a large solar array, battery backup, extensive raised garden beds, and a fish-stocked pond, plus its own well and about 10,000 gallons of stored water despite being on city utilities.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we have a massive solar array. We have battery backup. We\u2019ve got 14 giant vegetable garden beds. We have a pond stocked full of fish,\u201d he said. \u201cEven though the house is all on city services, we have our own well and 10,000 gallons of water storage. So you quite literally could live off the grid.\u201d<\/p>\n Technology, in this house, isn\u2019t just about convenience \u2014 it\u2019s about setting the mood. Dilegame can enhance the vibe from inside the house to the garden all by phone.<\/p>\n \u201cI push a button (on the phone), and in about 15 seconds, every light in the house will turn on, the air conditioners will turn to a certain temperature, and the music will come on throughout the entire property,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Fairchild remembers the first time he hit \u201cscene\u201d to create a sunset mood outside.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t remember what the song was, but I swear to you, it was like I was transported,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wanted to cry. We\u2019re like, \u2018This is the most beautiful moment,\u2019 with the sun coming down, the music through all the garden, the plants just glowing like they are.\u201d<\/p>\n For Josh Dilegame, his favorite memories of the home aren\u2019t about the finishes at all.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, it\u2019s the birthday parties for the kids,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s just so much space and things they can play on and run around. For me, that\u2019s the best memory.\u201d<\/p>\n And when night comes in Clos du Lac, the luxury isn\u2019t about power, music or lighting \u2014 it\u2019s the lack of it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a dark community, so you can see stars \u2014 not much light pollution,\u201d Josh Dilegame said.<\/p>\n The estate provides substantial space for five cars inside its garages, an amenity well suited for collectors and automotive enthusiasts. An all-day event sponsored at the property by Ferrari, the MadWest Team and Krygsman Group pairs Italian sports cars, wine and luxury real estate, Fairchild said.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774708928_77_1.png\" "\\"1.png\\"")
