Funnyman Tom Smothers Sells His California Wine Country Ranch for $7.2M

Comedian and composer Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers musical-comedy duo, has sold his Glen Ellen, CA, property for $7.2 million.

The entertainer originally listed the home for $13 million when it first hit the market in 2019.

With no takers, the spread was offered at $8.5 million in 2021 and had several more price reductions over the last two years.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom, Sonoma County estate boasts nearly 6,000 square feet. It was built in 1983 and includes 115 acres, 23 of which are Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.

Like fine wine

If you’re a fan of vino, this ranch-style residence is a dream come true. It’s surrounded by gorgeous vineyard views, olive trees, and hiking trails.

A mile-long driveway leads straight through a stone-pillared gate that looks like something from a movie. Meanwhile, the home’s exterior features native stone and stucco—a look that embodies rustic luxury.

The spacious living and dining room combo has a cozy, stone fireplace; brick-stone floors; and reclaimed beam ceilings.

Large picture and clerestory windows stream in sunlight, keeping the space bright and airy.

Raise a glass

Further inside is a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, carved wooden details, and marble accents. Home entertainers and frequent cooks are sure to appreciate the center-island stovetop range and double oven.

The home’s four bedrooms are chic and modern, with high ceilings and sitting areas. A showstopping primary suite has a large walk-in closet and backyard access.

Along with the upscale basics, this property comes with a wine cellar, office, and studio. There are also two ponds and two barns, complete with caretaker units, which are perfect for hosting visitors.

World of wine

Outside, the world of wine awaits you. Meander through the estate’s 100-plus acres, showcasing stately oak and olive trees, a swimming pool, and the vineyards.

The home comes with five neighboring parcels that could be built on or used for additional vineyard plantings.

Smothers, 86, started in television in 1961, when he became a regular on “The Steve Allen Show.” He created “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” in 1967 and also appeared in such films as “Speed Zone” and “Get to Know Your Rabbit.” In 1977, he joined the wine industry by founding Remick Ridge Vineyards.
