Napa Estate

A stunning Napa Valley home surrounded by resplendent natural beauty, this exquisite residence is set on 56± brilliant acres overlooking the coveted Oak Knoll AVA. Never before presented on the market, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers breathtaking valley and mountain views. A top-quality 9.28± acre vineyard and sweeping grounds surround a timelessly elegant main residence, 2 guest residences of generous proportions, and a well-appointed event barn designed for entertaining.

Notable architects Ed Keiner and John Kasten, builder Dale James, landscape architect Jack Chandler, and famed interior designer Erin Martin worked with the owners to conceive a truly incomparable property, with completion of the residences in 2002. Utilizing a variation of textures and a neutral palette to compliment the airy layout, the space thoughtfully showcases the special artifacts the owners collected in their worldwide travels. Martin recalled that for the first time, she “was given free rein to run with [her] ideas,” while harmoniously collaborating with her fellow professionals and the owners.

The crown jewel of the property is the 4,950 SF, fully-custom 3 BD main residence, 2 BD guest house, and vaulted event barn with a spacious 2 BD guest apartment. Totaling 7,766 SF. of living space and 7,322 SF of additional entertainment areas, the property is an entertainer’s delight. An open-plan great room facing east with soaring vaulted ceilings features: exposed wood beams, wide-plank hickory pecan floors, plus a wood-burning fireplace, accessed through a massive ebonized walnut front door. The great room opens through French doors to the lana’i – 2,022 SF of covered IPE decks with 180-degree views that could comfortably host 100 guests.

Combining indoor and outdoor space, the event barn covers 5,000 SF to include: a grand event space underneath soaring ceilings with local artisan-crafted light fixtures, a loft area, a large work area for storage or vineyard management, plus an upstairs office with conference area. Attached to the event space is an incredibly well-appointed single-level guest apartment with 2 BD, a full kitchen, dining nook, living room, laundry room, storage, and covered outdoor dining space.

Centered around 9.28 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the home’s Oak Knoll AVA vineyard was thoughtfully planned to capture each exceptional quality of the property’s terroir. The location is one of the premier areas for growing grapes in the Oak Knoll District. Moderate, consistent temperatures year-round allow for maximum time on the vine before harvesting. Sustainable farming and vineyard management techniques are integral to the family’s values and farming methodology. A byproduct of their deep care in all areas of grape growing is on display in each bottle of wine produced from the property’s fruit, described by the owners as “balanced, expressive and healthy fruit for winery clients.”

After 20 years, the family is prepared to entrust the legacy of this unprecedented property to a new discerning owner who may appreciate Napa Valley for its special qualities: “four distinct seasons, all beautiful, a grape-growing community that is very supportive, a proximity to San Francisco, and a growing, music, art and restaurant scene.” The home’s essence is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated. From intimate family reunions to monumentous celebrations, and the quiet days in between, each moment at Journey Napa Valley is a remarkable opportunity to connect with the immeasurable beauty and spirit that this expansive property holds. Floating peacefully above the valley, it is a reprieve from the bustle of the fast-paced city cadence, a place to create a lifetime of memories, and is destined to be treasured for generations.
