Elegant St. Helena View Estate

This captivating hilltop property is the quintessential Napa Valley retreat: an elegant home, with exquisite views and extensive entertainment facilities, enveloped in country solitude. Up a verdant country lane, ten minutes from St. Helena's Main Street, lies a welcoming home set in a secluded, resort-like setting. From a string of locations on the property, you'll find views as beguiling as anywhere in wine country - views of vineyards, wineries, and the distant Vaca mountains. Located in a mature, wooded setting, the property offers space, solitude and sophisticated amenities. The main house is warm and welcoming, with a gardened approach, a large mahogany front door, and gorgeous cherry-wood floors.

This refined home features a generously proportioned main hall and an expansive living room with a wall of French doors overlooking terraced decks and the tree-framed views beyond. The kitchen and dining room provide an inspirational setting for passionate epicures and fellow food enthusiasts. The open, granite-countered kitchen, appointed with traditional design elements and quality amenities, adjoins a family room with a wood-burning fireplace and handsome built-ins. The dramatic formal dining room and cozy, separate breakfast room, both overlooking the bewitching southern views, offer romantic settings for memorable wine country gatherings. The butler?s pantry and wet-bar provide extra prep and storage space beyond the main cooking area. The expansive master suite features a gorgeous marble bath, his and hers walk-in closets, and a private, adjoining deck overlooking the valley below.

Completing the main house is an inviting en suite guest bedroom with a garden view; a delightful guest suite with valley views and separate entrance; and an attached two-car garage. This 4 BR, 4.5 BA compound also includes a charming cottage with a guest suite and an attractive, attached office. For the wine aficionado, there?s a petite pinot noir vineyard to supply the compound?s efficient, insulated, winemaking cabin; in the main house, there is a temperature-controlled wine cellar to store the bounty of this, and other, estates. On the 6+ acres you'll find a view pool with pavilion and outdoor kitchen, a regulation size bocce court, extraordinary gardens, rock walls, and numerous spots for private contemplation. One visit to this exquisite retreat and you?ll be in thrall to its abundant charms.
