It is no secret that Napa Valley holds some of California’s most coveted real estate, especially for those seeking a home for relaxing, entertaining, and hosting family and friends. Ellen Politz, Real Estate Agent with Corcoran Global Living, insists she has the ideal Napa Valley home available.

“It’s an exceptional resort-like listing for someone looking for something that no one else has—a private, gated property with a gorgeous vineyard, a party barn, a pool, a bocce court, and mountain and vineyard views in every direction,” Politz gushed.

The five thousand square foot, twostory home’s interior was a labor of love for the owners. A few distinguishing touches include 27-foot exposed beam ceilings, a theatre room, handcrafted metalwork, artfully designed lighting, and an intimate, wine barrel-inspired dining room, creating a one-of-a-kind oasis in the heart of wine country.

Politz got into the real estate market after working in finance for 20 years, eventually transitioning to real estate in 2008 when the market was tanking. She focused on helping stressed sellers with loan modifications and short sales. “Nobody went to foreclosure on my watch,” she proudly claimed. The experience served her well.

“I realized if you could negotiate with the big banks, you can make it among Napa Valley realtors,” she laughed. Ellen has found her niche with the boutique luxury brokerage Corcoran Global Living, previously Terra Firma Global Partners. Ellen ranks as the number one agent in the Napa office and in the top two percent of the Company.

The Napa Valley property is one of her favorite listings, not only for the buildings but for the land surrounding it. Located in the prized Coombsville AVA, it encompasses more than four valley floor acres with vineyards containing six thousand Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6, Rootstock 101-14 vines, plus a one-fourth acre vineyard of Malbec vines for blending. The property typically produces nine tons of grapes. For buyers seeking property at this price point in the Napa Valley, one of the most popular asks is the ability to make wine. In addition to the vineyards, the estate comes with a tasting room, winemaking equipment, and a winemaking area. Critical to Napa Valley sustainability, an onsite well with excellent production services the house, plus water for irrigation, and a 10,000-gallon water storage tank for the vineyard.

The winemaker and wine lover’s paradise also delivers outdoor amenities like an orchard, raised garden beds, and a large hidden area for boat, RV, or farm equipment storage—but one of the most talked-about features is the outdoor “party barn,” a structure linked to the main house by a seamless flow of outdoor living spaces and entertainment areas. The 864-square-foot party barn holds a loft, open great room, full bathroom, kitchenette with wine barrel style island, elevated ceilings, and double doors that open to the pool and bocce court.

Politz hopes to give one lucky buyer their ideal home with the Coombsville AVA estate. “These types of properties don’t come along every day. This property is for those most discriminating buyers who settle for nothing short of the Napa Valley dream.”
