About this property

This distinctive and original classical residence, crafted by renowned Bay Area regionalist architects Batey & Mack, exudes timeless elegance and meticulous upkeep, leaving an indelible impression! Constructed with local river stone walls, virgin redwood siding, and Saltillo tile floors, the expansive rooms offer a profound connection to and reverence for the surrounding hills, renowned vineyards, and rocky formations. Surrounding patios and porches provide ample shaded terraces for year-round enjoyment, while expansive doors and windows capture the iconic valley vistas. A property of pure, expressive, and monumental stature, seamlessly integrated with the sun-drenched landscape. Nestled just beyond the vineyard boundary on 5 acres, less than a mile north of downtown St. Helena and Meadowood. Explore the extraordinary landscaped gardens, featured in multiple garden magazines, or hike the pristine hillside to bask in the beauty of the Western Chaparral! Spanning 3,725 sq. ft., this remarkable home boasts three spacious en suite bedrooms, two with private patios, and all with king-size beds. The chef's kitchen, equipped with Viking and Miele appliances and a wine cooler, opens to a grand dining room featuring an impressive fireplace and expansive glass plate windows, offering seamless views throughout. The adjoining living room showcases wood ceilings, beams, and a panoramic vista of the upper valley, including Mt. St. Helena! The lower level houses a vast recreational room with three distinct zones for relaxation: a pool/air hockey area, a cozy sofa corner stocked with games, books, and a large TV, and a wine bar leading to the exceptional 5,000-bottle capacity wine cellar! Enclosed and gated, the meticulously maintained property boasts a swimming pool complex with a dining area and a three-tiered waterfall cascading through the landscape into the pool. Multiple shaded picnic spots, hot tub, and intertwining hiking trails, dotted with serene resting/reading areas featuring benches and scenic views, complete this private, tranquil, and unparalleled setting!
