This Napa wine country estate takes lounging by pool to next level. See $10.5M home

With an entrance through a courtyard lined with olive trees, the sophisticated Northern California wine country home where the CEO of Restoration Hardware lived has hit the market for $10.5 million.

The 5,140-square-foot main house sits at 347 S. Crane Lane in the iconic Napa Valley destination of St. Helena, surrounded by wine vineyards and mountain views.

Billionaire Gary Friedman, CEO of home furnishings retailer Restoration Hardware, previously owned the home. He sold the property for $7.7 million in 2017 to Grey Sand Beach LLC, according to public records.

Every corner and view of the one-acre compound is thoughtfully designed. Napa builder Hurley Hafen gets the credit for that.

The interior of the five-bedroom main residence impressively frames a large, picturesque, rectangular pool fully bordered by a grass accent with vineyards and mountains beyond it.

The four poolside lounging areas are stunning. There are two inviting alcoves, or pods, on each side of the pool surrounded by their own immaculately landscaped, low-cut hedge and shaded by stately palm trees.

Across the pool lies a 630-square-foot, one-bedroom guesthouse with kitchenette and vineyard views.

Plenty of glass walls open to covered outdoor entertainment spaces. Inside, there is a great room, media room with wet bar and a dining room highlighted by elegant wine racks displayed on facing walls.

The home is ideal for entertaining with a covered outdoor kitchen, gardens and level lawns.

“Secluded yet proximate, soaring and scaled, elegant yet welcoming; this property is an exemplary demonstration of masterful juxtaposition,” the property listing states. “The idyllic interiors in this home are designed to be embraced during lavish events with guests, and relaxed to fit the flexible needs of daily living.”

Hillary Ryan of Sotheby’s International Realty – St. Helena Brokerage is the listing agent.
