Property Description:

Nestled within its own secluded valley between St. Helena and Rutherford, this stunning vineyard retreat offers the perfect blend of tranquility and luxury. The property had its humble beginnings in agriculture having with a small stone cottage that grew in stages to become an expansive 5BR/7.5BA residential compound. A beloved venue for family weddings and exclusive events, it has attracted notable guests, including famous golfers Arnold Palmer and Billy Casper, who visited when the house was used for entertaining during Transamerica Golf Tournament at Silverado Country Club in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, for the first time in almost 40 years, this exceptional estate is available for purchase. Spanning 15.44 +/- acres across two legal parcels, the contemporary country compound is framed by breathtaking views of its 6.44 +/- acre terraced Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc vineyard and across the valley to the Vaca Mountains beyond. Notably, the Cabernet Sauvignon has been included in wine rated 97 points by Robert Parker. Also, a family wine has been bottled for many years through Judd’s Hill MicroCrush program. The 3,856 +/- sq ft main residence, originally constructed during the 1980s and thoughtfully remodeled, features four comfortable bedroom suites, providing privacy and comfort. Tall French doors line three of the home's perimeter walls, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living, an abundance of natural light, and idyllic views from almost every room. Inside, the heart of the home is a magnificent great room, with its cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry. The exceptionally spacious family room and kitchen with large island, multiple workstations, and high-end appliances, create an ideal space where large groups can gather to cook and relax together. Just steps away from the main residence is the charming guest house, created from the property’s original stone cottage. This structure features an en-suite bedroom with a separate entrance, a beautifully remodeled game room with a striking stone wall interior and an attached bath plus additional bonus spaces providing options for versatile living. The outdoor spaces of the retreat are equally impressive. A 45-foot long in-ground pool, pool patio, and spa overlook an expansive lawn while capturing dramatic views of the property’s vineyard and a panorama across the valley. A 5,000+/- sq ft wraparound deck provides space for large events, outdoor dining, lounging, and enjoying the serene surroundings. Further up a gentle incline from the residential compound, a peaceful stream-fed pond adds to the property's natural beauty while providing water for the vineyard’s frost protection. The estate also features a tennis court, complete with changing and equipment rooms and a viewing patio while a 1,000 +/- sq ft barn located on the vineyard’s perimeter can double as a storage space and a rustic party venue. The property’s mature landscaping, including groves of stately oak trees, towering cypress, old rock walls, and a variety of citrus, fruit trees, and table grapes, creates a timeless atmosphere. A seasonal creek runs through the land, adding to the estate’s charm, while the private well ensures an abundant water supply.
