After a comprehensive and costly renovation, TV host and producer Ryan Seacrest is listing his Bay Area Wine Country estate for $22 million. The 40-acre property features an 8,650-square-foot main residence designed around an expansive inner courtyard. The home combines modern and classic Italian villa styles with reclaimed wood beams, antique French limestone, wide-plank walnut and oak floors, custom cabinetry, and hand-chiseled limestone accents. A standout feature in the living room is a 1980s Italian dry bar crafted by photographer and designer Willy Rizzo.
The residence offers various dining and lounging areas, including a screened-in sun porch, a formal dining room, and a breakfast room, all designed to blend seamlessly with the outdoors. The kitchen includes a pizza oven, rotisserie fireplace, and butler’s pantry. The primary suite features an office, a bathroom with a steam shower and stone soaking tub, and a private terrace. Additional amenities include two guest suites, a walnut-paneled library, a den with a wood-burning fireplace, a wine cellar, a gym, and a garden prep room with storage and open shelving.
The current home reflects significant updates overseen by Nobili Marques Arquitectura and Clint Nicholas Design. Originally built in 2004 by architect Howard Backen, known for his work on various high-profile projects, the home’s recent renovation aimed to modernize while preserving its original character. The renovation introduced brighter, more contemporary spaces while maintaining a neutral palette to highlight the natural surroundings.
The estate also boasts an infinity-edge pool, a spa, a pool house with a wet bar and full bathroom, a two-bedroom guest cottage, extensive gardens, and a bocce court. Despite its secluded feel, the property is conveniently located near Meadowood Resort, Napa Valley Reserve, and downtown Saint Helena.
Cyd Greer of Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley, who is handling the listing, highlighted the estate’s blend of privacy and proximity to key Wine Country destinations.
