Shangri-La Napa Valley

369 Kortum Canyon Road is but minutes west of the resorts of Calistoga, and its security gate, circular driveway, palm tree flanked approach, and substantial front door indicate that this is a residence of style and substance. But the entry cannot prepare you for its magical site - private, verdant, serene, and with such captivating views you’ll feel you’ve left the real world and entered an enchanted realm. A long, terra cotta tiled entry hall first introduces you to the residence’s volume, space, natural light, and numerous pleasing outlooks onto the property’s sophisticated landscaping and wooded environs. The home’s top floor is dedicated as a Master Apartment with the bedroom enjoying a wood-beamed ceiling, a fireplace, an arc of views from windows and glass doors, and direct access to an expansive view patio.

The apartment also features a wet bar, a sumptuous bathroom with a large shower and a jetted tub, a room-sized closet with built-in cabinetry, and a separate, compact work-out room. The main floor of the residence includes: a luxurious study with built-in bookshelves and filing cabinets, a built-in desk with exquisite window views of the neighboring vineyards, a private view patio, and a fireplace; a guest suite with a separate entrance and private patio; a spacious kitchen and family room; an adjoining dining area; and a grand living room blessed with a fireplace and a semi-circle of windows overlooking an expansive, wraparound view patio.

The hillside level of the home features a magnificent, sweeping, custom-made 10,000 bottle wine cellar; a family room with wet bar; two full bathrooms; guest bedroom; and direct access to the outdoors. The pool and spa, cushioned in the center of lawns and elaborate landscaping, anchor the remarkable recreational area and its idyllic views of Diamond Mountain’s hillside vineyards and the Napa Valley floor. As sumptuous as the home is, it must share top billing with the wooded 42 acre property’s bewitching, Shangri-La setting. The property enjoys a second building site on which to expand the estate, and also has convenient access to commercial airline service at Santa Rosa airport.
