Inside a $17.9 Million Modern Farmhouse That Captures the Best of Napa Valley

Overview

There are luxury homes that impress through size, and there are those that leave a lasting impression because of where they belong. This newly completed modern farmhouse in Napa Valley achieves both. Set across 6.7 acres in the prestigious Oak Knoll Ave, the 8,600 square-foot estate embraces one of California’s most celebrated wine regions with architecture that feels entirely connected to the landscape. As Jon Grauman explains, “This is what it’s all about. This is what you move here for. It’s heaven.” From the moment you arrive, it becomes clear that this is not simply a luxury residence but an invitation to experience Napa’s celebrated way of life.

Modern farmhouse estate in Napa Valley vineyards with pool and mountain views.

Living Among the Vineyards

The setting is the property’s greatest luxury. Surrounded by vineyards in every direction, the estate enjoys uninterrupted views across the valley floor with the Mayacamas Mountains to the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east. Four acres of mature Cabernet vines belong to the property itself, offering owners the opportunity to produce their own wine or contribute fruit to a local winery. Jon captures the appeal perfectly: “People come up to Napa because they want to feel like they’re part of the land. They want to get outside the city. This is your own true farm-to-table experience. It is the dream when you’re living up here.” Everyday life unfolds in constant dialogue with the vineyards, making the landscape central to the experience of living here.

Modern Farmhouse Architecture with Timeless Appeal

The home’s exterior gives rustic warmth with contemporary precision. Dark stained cedar, rubble limestone veneer and sleek metal roofing create a refined interpretation of the modern farmhouse aesthetic that has become synonymous with Napa Valley.

A pair of century-old olive trees frame the entrance, introducing the property’s sense of permanence. Expansive floor to ceiling glass windows establishes a visual connection straight through to the gardens beyond. Imported Italian pergolas extend the architecture outdoors, automatically adapting to changing weather while integrating heating, lighting and fire features that encourage year-round entertaining. Every material has been selected to complement the surrounding vineyards.

Resort Living Designed for Every Season

Outdoor living is treated with the same importance as the interiors. A 60-foot swimming pool, spa, multiple fire pit lounges and a generous outdoor kitchen transform the grounds into a private resort.

The detached cabana introduces another layer of flexibility, serving as both an entertaining pavilion and a guest house with two independent guest suites. Whether hosting intimate dinners or large celebrations, every outdoor space is positioned to enjoy uninterrupted views across the vineyards and surrounding mountain ranges. It is a setting that celebrates Napa’s climate as much as its scenery.

Open Spaces, Effortless Living

Inside, expansive Reynaers sliding doors from Belgium dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, filling the home with natural light and opening every room onto the landscape. A dramatic glass wine cellar forms the centrepiece of the main living space, highlighting the property’s connection to wine culture.

The soaring vaulted ceilings, sculptural staircase and generous entertaining areas create openness, but it is the home’s practicality that impresses most. Jon notes, “A lot of houses, particularly new construction, are designed for the way they look, not so much the way that they live. This is how a house is going to live.” It is an observation that perfectly summarizes the design philosophy throughout the property.

A Kitchen Created for Entertaining

The kitchen embodies the thoughtful design approach found throughout the home, everyday practicality with understated elegance. A large central island sits at the heart of the kitchen. Accordion windows create an effortless connection to the outdoor barbecue and dining spaces, ensuring the kitchen extends naturally onto the surrounding terraces.
