Napa Valley Farmhouse Estate

On a charming country road a short 5 minute drive from the Silverado Trail, this 289 +/- acre ranch provides absolute privacy and tranquility with spectacular views of the Napa Valley floor, Mt. Tamalpais, the Bay and San Francisco in the distance. The property boasts a beautifully diverse landscape of rolling meadows, mature oaks and madrone, stunning rock formations, hills and canyons, with an abundant private water supply. With approximately 20 potential vineyard acres, many of which are currently planted with cover crop and irrigated, the property is an ideal candidate for vineyard and winery development.

The residential compound, a quintessential 1950’s Sunset Magazine modern farmhouse style, has been cleverly configured to include a 966 +/- sq ft 2-bedroom en-suite guest quarters connected via a covered breezeway to a 1200 +/- sq ft main house that falls under Napa County’s zoning limit for a second dwelling, allowing flexibility to build a larger main house in the future. An ideal location with extraordinary views has been selected as a main home site and a septic site evaluation for 6 bedrooms has been completed with Napa County. Both the main and guest homes feature wonderful interior elements such as wide plank oak floors, board and batten, or shiplap wall detail, industrial lighting, and custom painted shaker style cabinetry. The main house enjoys a spacious living room with built-in bookshelves, cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace with stacked slate surround and access to an expansive ipe view deck.

The charming country kitchen features grey cabinetry, soap stone counters, a fireclay farmhouse sink, Viking refrigerator and range, and Miele dishwasher. The main house also includes an additional 700 +/- sq ft of unconditioned overflow space, a wine cellar with custom mahogany racking to hold 1400 bottles plus more storage for full cases, and a detached oversized 3-car garage. Surrounding the residential area are expansive lawns, an outdoor dining pergola, beautiful rock walls, classic white fences and prolific citruses that enjoy a virtually frost-free micro climate, providing a bumper crop of delicious oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, and grapefruit. The property features several accessory buildings, including an iconic water tower, and a handsome white board and batten 1832 +/- sq ft storage barn offering three huge bays with separate exterior storage rooms. The seller has creatively repurposed the old tennis courts with a pair of beautiful new commercial grade green houses that flank a 550 +/- sq ft art studio and extensive raised vegetable beds, all contained within a fully fenced area to keep out deer that might be otherwise tempted to eat any crops. The property provides abundant water via a traditional well that feeds already irrigated fields, and mountain drilled horizontal wells that fill water tanks with storage capacity of 60,000 gallons. There is gated access at two points along Soda Canyon Road, one gate with automatic keyed entry. A quick drive to the Soda Canyon Store, this convenient Napa location is a mere 15 minutes to Yountville’s restaurant scene, approximately a 1 hour and 15 minute car drive from San Francisco and about an hour from Berkeley and Walnut Creek.
