There are few places I like more on earth than the Napa Valley … and not just because of the wine, though that’s a big part of it. Napa is everything, rich and poor, conservative and quirky, peaceful and bustling. So that’s what brings me to this house, on a hillside, down a meandering drive, above the valley; a modern. open airy retreat that screams California indoor-outdoor living.
And, yeah, again, wine.
The house sits on twenty-one acres of oak-studded meadow and is a hair under 5,000 square feet with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is a huge great room, with windows on both sides, one side opening to a massive terrace, firepit and pool, and those views. An open kitchen, with what is called a working kitchen behind, with more storage and spaces to work so that the main kitchen doesn’t look messy when guests arrive; who wants that? There’s a simple calming master bedroom with a fabulous bath and soaking tub with views. A two-story wine cellar with a glass floor from the top half into the lower half, located on the lower level of the home.
So, I guess it is the wine for me.

This one looks a little too institutional for my lack of taste, even with the splash of red.

Lots of wine
ReplyDeleteWine is always important. Not that I'd know, because I only drink dessert wines, but hey. I love the location, the views are stunning. Also, water features always get me. And that bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI also like the Scandinavian vibes. I'd add plants and nothing else.

Not the best way to store wine
ReplyDeleteI love It. Except for the size. Hotel? What a great idea to ornament your walls with colorful glass bottles! Oh, never mind... YOU might have a hard time keeping the wall filled... unless you put up the empty bottles.
