275 Long Ranch Road

St Helena’s perfect lifestyle trifecta: a home situated on the famed Pritchard Hill, a panoramic hillside view, and architectural design that mirrors and accentuates the serene beauty of its surroundings. Embodying the finest elements from iconic architect Howard Backen, joining creative forces with Designer Nichol Hollis, and Landscape Architect Mark W. Bower, this compound with its 7,400+ sq ft Modern Farmhouse is as magical as it is sensible. Once chosen for the front cover of Backen’s acclaimed book entitled,  ”From the Land,” the 160-acre property located inside the gates of Ovid Winery features two additional private 1,100+ sq ft guest houses, courtyards and terraces with outdoor fireplaces, and an in-ground pool that overlooks the glorious and breathtaking Valley below. Natural elements extend indoors in true Backen fashion with handsome, rustic wood beams accentuating the soaring ceilings, walls of glass framing the picturesque landscape, and rich, illustrious materials and finishes pervading every square inch of the home. Hues of burnt orange and reds offset by soft shades of greens and blues complement the built-in wood shelves and cabinets found throughout the home. Oversized pocket doors open wide to blend indoor/outdoor environments in almost every living space, including the spacious master ensuite’s shower and bath, home gym, and spacious study. Whether you’re planning a rejuvenating private retreat or a lively gathering, the compound comfortably accommodates overnight guests within either the main house’s four bedrooms and three full, and two half baths, or one of the two separate guest houses, one featuring a full kitchen, great room, bed and full bath, and the other comprising two ensuites. With its private location and one of the most coveted views, this masterfully-constructed compound is a rare property for connoisseurs of the wine-country lifestyle.
