Veeder House estate is an extraordinary masterpiece that seamlessly weaves together elements of diverse styles: Modernism, Art Deco, and a touch of Deconstructivism.
Rarely an opportunity presents itself to stay in a true architecturally significant property with premium Cabernet vineyards and expansive views of the Napa Valley. Veeder House Estate is set on 130+ acres atop Mt. Veeder and against the breathtaking backdrop of the Napa Valley. This estate is a testament to artistic innovation and design synergy.
At its heart stands a villa residence that defies convention, a structure that blends contemporary and modern influences with the grace of sculptural design. The villa, pool, and guest tower were designed by UK-based architect David Connor for the heir to a Swedish bread fortune and published in both 20th Century Architecture by Jonathan Glancy and Architecture in the Twentieth Century, by Gössel and Leuthäuser. Rumored to have hosted the Dalai Lama, the main residence appears as a calm white monument positioned perfectly on a lush green lawn shared with a dramatic black Fletcher Benton “Folded Circles” sculpture. Majestic wings gracefully extend from each end of the Villa, akin to sculpted elements reaching skyward. These wings encase two of the four private bedrooms, offering an artistic juxtaposition of form and function.
Inside, angular lines and a dark marble foyer set the tone for an unforgettable experience in an environment that defies convention. The Villa includes 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a bookshelf lined library office, gym, dining, and entertaining spaces. The view from the main living area is defined by an iconic guest tower reaching skyward and flanked by draped flags—an elevated testament to design that purportedly claims the title of the tallest structure in all of Napa County – containing 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and “eagles’ nest” look-out on top with 360 degree views of the Napa Valley and surrounding areas. An inviting swimming pool sprawls elegantly between these architectural marvels, serving as a tranquil oasis for repose and rejuvenation.
The property’s allure is further enhanced by its surrounding 8+ acres of meticulously tended premium Cabernet vineyards
The villa, the vineyards, and the land converge to create a narrative that offers extraordinary possibilities. This villa residence itself stands as a symphony of contrasts—bold and understated, classic and avant-garde—all orchestrated to create an environment that sparks the imagination and ignites the senses.
