Not everyone is cut out for the urban playground of “Big City” San Francisco living. Some of us feel more at home amid green pastures full of multi-colored wildflowers, frolicking horses with shiny coats and tidy rows of abundant purple grapes. Whether your dream abode is a quaint bungalow with all the modern innovations and detailing or a Victorian farmhouse with a wrap-around porch, spiral turrets and cathedral-style archways, they have a wide selection of opulent properties that allow you to choose your fancy. Thanks to strict development limitations and building codes, much of the agricultural heritage and historic nature of the neighborhoods has been preserved. Yet, Napa luxury homes are also blessed with a number of innovative projects that restored the waterfront area and downtown core with upscale boutiques, championship golf and tennis facilities, an eclectic variety of eateries and modernized promenades.
The heart of Napa luxury homes houses over 70,000 residents, which is more than half of the county population. Picturesque Craftsmans and historic Victorians line the Napa River, inviting second home buyers to the region. Here, you can feel like you’re “away from it all” in your own natural paradise, yet you’ll be within 10-15 minutes of all the major city center amenities. The newly renovated Napa Opera House hosts ballets, string quartet performances and cultural events for area residents who appreciate the finer side of life. A 13,500-square-foot terra cotta home is one of the finest of the Napa luxury homes on the market for $13 million. With 45 acres of space, this magnificent French and Tuscan influenced chateau stands out with features like a circular driveway, stone walkways, an outdoor kitchen and a backyard swimming pool.
Yountville, a revitalized nook of Napa luxury homes, has a suburban feel with its nineties Modern-style architecture and homes with exposed beams, skylights, glass walls, mahogany doors, clay tile roofs, pools and guest villas. Many of the houses here overlook rows and rows of vineyards and are situated just a short drive from nearby shops, restaurants, wine shops and galleries worthy of attracting tourist dollars.
St. Helena Napa luxury homes is surrounded by green hills, stone churches and Old West style architecture invites weekenders and second home buyers who quickly become well acquainted with one another to form a strong local community. Bungalows on well-landscaped lawns cater to homeowners who appreciate walk-able neighborhoods just under the $1 million mark. Farmhouses near $4 million come with handsome wrap-around porches, oasis pools and Cabernet-producing vineyards.
Eclectic Calistoga is in a hotter region, famous for its skin-refreshing mud baths and ideal Cabernet grape growing. Similar to St. Helena, Calistoga is peppered with more home-grown locals who prefer plantation-style homes with stunning ridge views, large windows and enjoyable patios for entertaining guests.
