Located in Oakville, this property is one of the more historic sites in the Napa Valley. The original house which inspired the name of his wines was originally built in 1853 by William Baldridge – a prominent Napa citizen. William participated in one of the early emigrant parties to California and was one of the men present in 1846 during the historic Bear Flag Revolt in the town of Sonoma. The entire property feels like walking back in time – with stately Palm trees gracing the entrance to the driveway, massive hundreds of year old Oak trees, and one of the largest fig trees you will ever see.

A cozy “jewel-box” barn nestled among surrounding vineyards, utilizes unaltered natural light and materiality. The small scale allowed for attention paid to every detail, reinforcing the design thesis for tailored solutions. Soaring interior ceilings and a serene wraparound porch expand the space and blur the line between inside and out.
