The modern farmhouse, ubiquitous in Napa Valley, has a certain poetry to it. The design aesthetic mirrors the wine country’s rhythm and flow, harmonizing the region's rustic roots with open spaces, clean lines, and natural materials. The seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors plays perfectly to Napa’s temperate climate and stunning landscape.

As for how to compose a large-scale modern farmhouse that carefully balances all of these elements, only a select few local architects have truly mastered the style with precision—Joseph Farrell being one of them.

For his latest creation in St. Helena, the local Napa Valley architect envisioned a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate that offers a timeless yet fresh interpretation of classic Napa Valley living. This remarkable residence is the product of a seamless collaboration between Farrell, Bette Abbott Interior Design, Christian Barrett Landscape, and Vine Home Construction—a team celebrated for their meticulous craftsmanship, innovative vision, and unwavering attention to detail. "Every aspect of this estate reflects a commitment to both artistry and functionality," listing agent Erin Lail, a Luxury Property Specialist with Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley tells us. "Large windows to frame vineyard views, vaulted ceilings, and ample space for both entertaining and relaxation—it really captures the essence of modern wine country living."

Among the home's standout moments arrives in the expansive great room. Featuring 16-foot ceilings and dramatic walls of glass that slide completely open to the pool and surrounding vineyards, this striking space offers a showcase of the home’s exceptional indoor-outdoor design, architectural detail, and craftsmanship. Lail calls the primary suite "magazine-worthy," with its spa-inspired bathroom and vineyard views. Three additional en-suite bedrooms offer private outdoor access through glass doors, inviting guests to enjoy the surrounding beauty at their leisure.

Conveniently, the estate also includes a detached two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house featuring a kitchenette, a spacious great room, and an inviting patio for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The outdoor living spaces and enchanting grounds further complement the modern farmhouse ethos with an outdoor kitchen, two loggias, lush lawn, multiple entertaining spaces, a pool and a spa — all on par with "five-star resort," says Lail.
