Cloud Nine Ranch

California

Rooted in the spirit of the California landscape, this reimagined ranch embraces sweeping Napa Valley views and a renewed sense of place.

Hidden in the heart of wine country, this single-story home rises gently above the surrounding vineyards. Once a working farm, the site now fosters a quiet dialogue with its surroundings. 

A granite-planked entry garden, lined with craggy olive trees, leads to a slower pace of life. As you approach the house, golden sunlight filters through a perforated metal canopy, casting shifting shadows across textured concrete walls.

Anchored by a circular drive, the buildings echo the site’s agrarian past. The main house opens fluidly to a series of outdoor spaces, blurring the line between inside and out. Guest quarters frame a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard and appear to nestle naturally into the landscape.

“The main residence is intentionally elevated to the height of the vines surrounding the house, allowing for sweeping views of the valley floor and mountains beyond.”
Katherine Tedesco, Project Manager, Walker Warner

Oak soffits slip through stone veneer walls, while tall ceilings and full-height glazing create a sense of airy openness. Oak and stone accents add warmth and texture throughout.

Across the auto court, a cypress-clad barn stands with a simple gabled form. Traditional in appearance, it has been adapted as a flexible space for gathering and connection—with one another and with the land.
