This unique home, nestled into the gentle slopes of Mount George, offers a truly unforgettable living experience. The main home was expertly constructed with the famed quality of Devita. The home later received a thick earth veneer, to perfectly complement the rammed earth guest house designed and built by the renowned David Easton. The guest house feels as if it has grown straight from the earth and in a way, it has. With its 18 inch thick walls, deep set windows and striking two-story library tower it is a very special place- well-suited for guests, as an ADU or as a workspace for an artist or tele-commuter.
Set on over seven and a half acres and open to hundreds acres of undeveloped land it was a great place to raise the owners four sons. Approximately three acres are gated and deer fenced making it garden and dog friendly. This serene oasis provides unsurpassed privacy and the tranquility of a Zen garden. The property features 65 Italian olive trees, as well as apples, figs, and persimmons. A large raised bed vegetable garden and computerized irrigation system ensure nearly year-round fresh produce, easily prepared in the outdoor kitchen.
Extensively renovated with permits in 1995 and meticulously maintained and updated since, this property showcases a blend of timeless style and modern amenities. The forty foot lap pool invites relaxation, exercise and entertainment. The custom cabinetry, Miele appliances, oak flooring, Grohe fixtures, and Viking range exemplify the owners’ commitment to quality. A recent pre-inspection has confirmed the property's excellent condition.
The home is built directly on the bedrock of Mount George and is about as earthquake resistant as a single family home can be. The owners have to great lengths to carefully address fire safety; the houses have earthen walls and metal roofs, there are Branguard vents on all openings and the swimming pool drains all 14,000 gallons into a gravity-fed standpipe. The three fenced acres are limbed up and cleared annually.
Located just 10 minutes from the world famous city of Napa, this estate offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Experience the luxury and serenity of Napa Valley living in this truly exceptional property.
