Modernist Agrarian Dreams In Napa, $16.95M

Bernard Lacoute and wife farmer-philanthropist Jennifer Lacroute have put their Napa estate—Vichy Farm—on the market. The couple developed the property over the years with an exquisite renovation by Sutton Suzuki Architects. Almost three decades ago, Lacroute had founded the famed WillaKenzie Estate vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, producing wines that reflect his Burgundian heritage.

He sold the vineyard in 2016—the Napa property does not produce wine, but instead has 90 olive trees for estate-produced olive oil, a 98-tree fruit orchard, 35 citrus trees, a productive vegetable garden, plus an expansive rose garden—all in an exquisitely designed and maintained 10+-acre setting. Vichy Farm is a testament to our favorite Spanish proverb “Living well is the best revenge.” anchored by an extraordinary single-level 6,725-square-foot, 4-bedroom main residence and a 1,200-square-foot, 2-bedroom guest residence.

Despite its grand scale, the house presents a consistent simplicity and connection to the outdoors.
