Designer Napa Valley Estate on Pritchard Hill

This property is on the market for $18,500,000, listed with Ginger Martin & Co.

This 160-acre Napa Valley estate was designed by famed architect Howard Backen. 

The compound is located within the gated Ovid Winery on Pritchard Hill in Saint Helena, and was featured on the cover of the architect’s book “From the Land”. 

Backen is credited with redefining the character of Napa Valley, with his airy and rustic-luxe designs for wineries and residential properties with his signature farmhouse-inspired architecture. 

He custom-built this property in 2004 for the owners of Ovid Winery. The estate has much of the Backen magic, with its reclaimed wood detail and airy spaces designed as an ‘open-air pavilion’ with massive sliding doors that seamlessly blend indoor living with the outdoor courtyard spaces. 

The entire property is positioned to take in the best of the breathtaking views of Napa Valley, with two outdoor fireplaces and a beautiful pool.

The estate provides a total of 10,000 square feet of interior space, with a 4-bedroom main house and two private guest houses offering an additional 3 bedrooms. 

This luxury compound is “more than a wine country getaway, it is the destination.”
