A modern, farmhouse-style estate on 18 acres in the St. Helena AVA of Napa Valley is up for sale. The five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bathroom home with a barn and pool house is currently listed for $21 million.
The 7,484-square-foot dwelling constructed by Field Architecture and Grassi & Associates is made up of multiple structures — each with a steeply sloped corrugated roof — situated in a U-shape around the terrace and pool. Reclaimed coral board vertical siding blends with surrounding soil.
Interiors by Shawback Design offer a gentle luxury, letting the quality of the finishes do most of the talking: white oak cabinets, plaster walls, polished concrete floors and hand-blown chandeliers.
A few spots of vivid color add energy, such as the deep blue on a powder room wall, bathroom tile, laundry room cabinetry and various textiles. The cool hue is a nice counterpoint to the earthy palette, and it continues outside via the shade umbrellas, chairs and tennis court turf.
The pool’s surround of concrete has rectilinear cutouts for patches of lush vegetation. Meticulous landscaping and garden design is the work of Surfacedesign. This geometry is a good match for all those rows of the property’s Cabernet Sauvignon and heritage Zinfandel vines — some of which date back to 1935 and 1979.
