Grand Vineyard Estate

There are certain things expected of a grand vineyard estate: a location cradled in the middle of owned and neighboring vineyards; a gated entry; an approach bordered with vineyards and trees; a motor court and garage capable of handling more than a few automobiles; privacy cushioned in manicured gardens and lush lawns; wondrous views from every point of the property's compass; a suite of opulent master rooms; elegantly furnished guest facilities for more than two or three couples; splendid common rooms; the tranquility requisite for true country relaxation; an array of refined, recreational diversions; and sufficient space - indoors and out - to entertain on a large scale. This property offers all this and, making it particularly rare, does so within a very short drive to the center of St. Helena. This distinguished estate is sited on almost 9 acres, 4 of which is planted to premium cabernet sauvignon.

Outdoors you'll find a heated salt water pool, bocce court, tennis court, raised vegetable garden and fruit orchard. The 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home has been recently remodeled and features large scale public rooms with walls of French doors opening to the groomed landscape and covered portico. The kitchen has everything a master chef would ever need, featuring two of almost everything: Viking 6 burner cooktops, warming drawers, Viking ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers, as well as a fireplace and indoor barbecue. The master bedroom enjoys his and her baths, both with marble and limestone finishes, showers, air dry jetted tubs and direct access to the exercise alcove and outdoor areas. The three bedroom, two bath private guest wing includes a spacious game room with wet bar and plasma TV, and doors leading to the pool and lawns. The home also features an additional guest suite, study with fireplace and wet bar, utility/laundry room, craft room, 1500 bottle capacity wine cellar and three car garage.
