Asking: $6,950,000
What: A unique opportunity to purchase a home designed by one of Northern California’s most sought-after architects, Howard Backen, a collaboration with interior designer Erin Martin. Backen’s long and illustrious career has produced some of Napa County’s most beautiful homes and private wineries, most hidden behind gates, tucked into acres of well-tended vineyards and coastal oaks, and all crafted exquisitely from the most basic materials.
The 4-bed , 4.5-bath stone and stucco structure (reinvented from an earlier farmhouse) is set on a relatively compact and manageable lot, walled and gated, with lovely mature gardens and surrounded by a panorama of the valley and mountains.
