Description

The romance with Quinta de Pedras, Portuguese for "estate of stones" began more than three decades ago when the current owners first glimpsed at its magnificent vistas and rugged terroir that has since become legendary for producing wines with great intensity and depth - qualities that define the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignons. Located in a breathtakingly beautiful private valley in the eastern hills high above Silverado Trail and just south of Stag's Leap District, sits one of the most gracious and elegant vineyard estates in all of Napa Valley. Located up a private gated road this graceful and level knoll-top retreat, situated on approximately 31.96 acres, offers breathtaking views of the Napa Valley and San Pablo Bay in the distance. As you enter the gated grounds past the manicured vineyards, you are greeted by a beautifully landscaped circular courtyard that separates the main residence from the two large guest cottages. The main house is a place of reflection and creativity. The soaring ceilings and 12' French doors in the living room welcome the warm sun and crisp blue skies to their family and weekend guests. To the south, the doors lead to a grand terrace overlooking the exquisite hand-crafted tile swimming pool. To the west, is a sample of the lushly landscaped gardens and duck pond. Boxwood hedges, ivy swags and Brandy Roses border the lawn surrounding the swimming pool. In addition to the main house there are two freestanding private guest houses each with living room, full kitchen, separate bedroom, full bath and fireplace. This is a MUST SEE property! Wine Spectator has written that the "Ristow Estate Cabernet blend consistently delivers outstanding intensity and balance," and Ristow Estate Cabernet Sauvignon vintages have been described as "an idyllic marriage of fruit and oak and the desirable but elusive quality the French call terroir.” Main Residence 4000 +/- square feet, 2 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms Guest Houses (2) 2000 +/- square feet (combined), each with living room, private bedroom, full kitchen, full bathroom, fireplace (1) Grounds Spectacular Gardens, Terraces & Lawns, Breathtaking Views, Pool, Pond, Tennis Court, 6 car garage (w/half bath) Vineyards Income Producing - Evergreen Contract - Approximately 16 (net) acres of Award-Winning 94 Pt.
