Morlet Hilltop House

Property Details

Stunning 3br/3ba French inspired villa overlooking Napa Valley is sumptuously furnished and appointed. Lounge by the pool or any one of numerous outdoor areas that take full advantage of Napa Valley vistas.

This striking and original classical residence, from renowned Bay Area regionalist architects Batey & Mack, is beautifully maintained and truly unforgettable! Local river stone for solid walls, virgin redwood siding, Saltillo tile floors and expansive rooms giving a sense of a solid attachment to, and respect for, the surrounding hills, famous vineyards and rocky outcrops. Patios and porches surround the house with broad shaded terraces for year-round living, while massive doors and windows embrace iconic valley views. Pure, expressive, and monumental property without pretense or nostalgia, at one with the sun-struck landscape. The home sits just over the vineyard line on 5 acres, less than one mile North of downtown St. Helena and Meadowood.
Stroll around the extraordinary landscaped gardens that have been featured in several garden magazines or hike the pristine hillside to enjoy the Western Chaparral!

With 3,725 sq ft, this stunning house features three large bedrooms (each with bathroom, private patio and king size bed), a chef kitchen (Viking and Miele appliances with wine cooler), a large dining room with an amazing fireplace (the large glass plate windows on both sides offer unobstructed view from one room to another) which leads to a large living room with wood ceilings and beams and a panoramic view of upper valley, including Mt. St. Helena!

Downstairs, a cavernous recreational room comprises of three zones to unwind: a pool/air hockey section, a comfy sofa corner with games, books and a large TV set, and also a wine bar leading to the stunning and unique 5,000 bottle capacity wine cellar!

Fenced and gated, the property is very well-maintained and includes a swimming pool complex (dining area and a three-tiered waterfall that flows through the landscape and into the pool), multiple shaded picnic areas and hiking trails intermixed with several resting/reading areas with benches and views. Private, peaceful and unique: a truly unforgettable setting!
