Set on approximately 5.72 acres with sweeping views in every direction, the estate was conceived as a place where exceptional design and the rhythms of wine country exist in complete harmony, creating one of Napa Valley's most distinctive private wine country compounds. Beyond the gated entrance, manicured hedges frame a formal approach to an expansive motor court and a striking collection of pavilion-style structures defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, engineered steel construction, architectural concrete floors, and generous expanses of glass. At the heart of the estate, the luxury pavilion's great hall serves as the architectural and social centerpiece of the home. Beneath a dramatic 30-foot vaulted ceiling, an expansive chef's kitchen is embraced by a distinctive 360-degree wrap-around bar, inviting guests to gather, dine, and share in the culinary experience. Beautifully scaled living and entertaining spaces flow naturally from this central gathering place, while a striking Ochre glass chandelier, custom fireplaces, abundant natural light, two private en suite bedrooms, and a gorgeous temperature-controlled wine room complete the pavilion. Designed for effortless entertaining, the 5-bedroom estate offers more than 7,000 square feet of living space, including two private bedroom studios and a separate guest cottage. A 90-foot heated pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, bocce court, curated gardens, and a central water and fire feature create an exceptional setting for gatherings both intimate and grand. The estate welcomed more than 500 guests during the Napa Valley Grape Growers' 2024 Harvest STOMP fundraiser. 2.7 +/- acres of professionally farmed Sauvignon Blanc vineyard complete the wine country experience, while an impressive six-car collector's garage offers approximately 2,000 square feet for the enthusiast who appreciates exceptional automobiles as much as exceptional architecture. Just minutes from the celebrated wineries, restaurants, and resorts of Calistoga, Via Esperanza is a private wine country compound where architecture, hospitality, and the enduring beauty of Napa Valley come together in a setting designed to be enjoyed for generations. Also available for purchase is the 22 +/- acre contiguous parcel with a vested winery use permit.
