STORY
SOPHISTICATED, PRIVATE ESTATE WITH UNPARALLELED DESIGN LOCATED IN THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS LOCATION IN NAPA VALLEY.
This gracious compound on six acres near the town of Yountville represents a remarkable opportunity to own a property of impressive scale and significance that affords the quintessential California lifestyle. Overlooking a sea of vineyards with commanding views of Stags Leap and Mayacamas Mountains, the home was masterfully designed for a vibrant indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Accessed through a gated driveway, the entrance is flanked by picturesque flora and sprawling vineyards. The estate consists of a contemporary 9,500± square foot, eight-bedroom main residence, 1,090± square foot, two-bedroom guest house, pool house, extensive lawns and gardens, and a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vineyard. Project development is currently underway, expected completion is in 2024.
The resort-caliber retreat is both relaxed and refined in design. A peaceful palette of organic materials, such as carefully chosen wood and stone, vaulted ceilings, and steel-framed doors create light-filled, elegant spaces. Tall, Fleetwood sliding glass doors blur the lines between indoors and out, with multidirectional views of soaring mountains and vineyards. Health and wellness are core to the design’s principle. Wellness amenities include gardens for farm-to-table dining, a 50-foot pool with integrated spa, spaces for fitness and meditation, sauna, plunge pool, solar power, and a reverse osmosis ultraviolet water filtration system. Whole-home automation and a security network provide convenience and peace of mind.
The centerpiece and anchor of the main residence is a great room featuring dramatic vistas, open dining space, sitting area with Ortal fireplace, temperature controlled wine room and bar, and generous kitchen. Chefs will appreciate the kitchen’s impressive scale, refined finish details, rift oak cabinetry, and quality appliance brands such as Wolf, Miele, and Sub Zero. A pass-through window connects the kitchen to an outdoor dining bar with seating for five. Beyond the bright and warm-toned kitchen is an open dining space and family room seamlessly connected to the covered outdoor loggia. The entertainment wing includes a scullery with supplemental top tier appliances, ample cabinetry, and countertops for chefs to utilize for formal events.
The owner’s suite is a serene, secluded oasis occupying its own wing with Calacatta marble hearth surround fireplace, spa-like bath with steam shower and soaking tub, a large dressing room, and private terrace overlooking vineyards and Mayacamas mountains framed by majestic oak trees. The bathroom boasts an oversized shower, dual floating vanities, and a soaking tub set in a windowed alcove. Nearby, the gym features direct pool access and inspiring 180-degree views of Stag’s Leap and vineyards through two retractable glass walls. A home office on the main level provides a place for privacy and quiet contemplation. Four additional bedrooms offer guests private baths and outdoor patios. On the second level, a bonus room with a wet bar adjoins a guest bedroom with four built-in queen bunk beds, a full bath, and thoughtful storage options.
Multiple, inviting outdoor venues for entertaining surround the 50-foot infinity-edge pool, lush lawns, and the covered loggia, which features a full outdoor kitchen, a large group dining area, lounge areas, Infratech heaters, ceiling fans, and a dining bar. Beside the guest house is an intimate dining terrace, a spacious garden with six raised vegetable beds, and a fire pit with seating framed by ancient olive trees.
