Built for an heir to a Swedish bread fortune, the Napa Valley estate has an eight-acre vineyard and a five-story lookout tower.
that they were drawn to the unconventional nature of the house because it is so different from the typical Tuscan-style villas that dot Napa Valley.The couple, who used the estate on weekends and as a holiday getaway as well as for corporate retreats, filled the home with artwork by Pop Art icons such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and they plopped a sculpture by Fletcher Benton on the vast front lawn.
Situated at the end of a long driveway that winds through the estate’s eight acres of vineyards that produce about 500 cases a year and then a long path that snakes up from the circular motor court to the front door, the home has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms throughout its roughly 6,300 square feet. The home also includes a fireside living room, an intimate paneled library, a simple, up-to-date kitchen, and a gym.
Out back, beyond the monumental rear façade, emerald carpets of lawn roll down to the swimming pool. Alongside the pool and festooned with a couple of banners that wave in the wind, the tower houses two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and a lounge. The views get more panoramic the higher you go, and the tower is capped by a crow’s nest that is well suited for drinking in the stunning landscape or basking in the glow of the stars while enjoying a glass of house-made wine.
The immensely private property, comprised of two parcels, additionally includes an updated two-bedroom, two-bath caretaker’s home, a tiny log cabin, and a detached two-car garage.Related Stories
