Prime Saint Helena Real Estate, but no Major Coffee Chain?

That's right you won't find a [insert famous seatlle coffee brand] here in Saint Helena, California.  And no big box, no outlets, no chain restaurants. Unwavering resistance to the crass "sameness" of typical urban centers has often frustrated the development crowd, but at last check that stubborness reflects the will of some 6000 residents.  St. Helenans have little interest in the commercial encroachments that many believe are leveling our culture to one common denominator of medicority.  Let's hope that a restrained attitude on growth will remain the norm.  With its high concentration of property at the luxury end, Saint Helena real estate enjoys something of a protective halo from this anti-commercial bent.

Saint Helena Real Estate + Plus Famous Wineries = Heaven!  

Did we say capital of the California wine country?  You betcha.  Own a piece of Saint Helena real estate, along with its rich viticulutral history, and you will be minutes away--often walking distance- from an abundance of premier wineries--many with names you would know well from your wine quaffing experiences anywhere in the world.  Mondavi, Beringer, Sterling, Krug, Heitz, Markham, Rutherford Hill, Clos Pegase, Silver Oak, Pride, Behrens and Hitchcok, Groth....and the list goes on.  An unofficial count places the number of wineries in the Napa Valley at a staggering 300 and beyond! Make a point to enjoy some of the small family owned establishments.

The California wine capital designation is admittedly our informal moniker, but surely it makes sense. Acquiring a piece of Saint Helena real estate, whether residential or vineyard land--or the perfect synergy of both--places you in or very near to many famous wine-growing regions officialy recognized by the U.S. Government.  These "AVA's'' or "American Viticultural Areas" denote unique growing conditions capable of producing spectacular wines considered an expression of those unique conditions.  You will typically see these AVA's stated proudly on the bottle label.  Some of the AVA's in the immediate vicinity of Saint Helena  include, Rutherford AVA, Howell Mountain AVA, and Spring Mountain AVA.  Saint Helena has its own AVA, called--you guessed it--the Saint Helena AVA. 

A seemingly endless array of wineries, large and small, is woven into a tapestry of the most spectacular, luxurious wine country estates you could possibly imagine.  Get a sense of what we are talking about by taking a leisurely stroll down any one of Saint Helena's country lanes that extend from the residential edges of town into sprawling, bucolic expanses of neatly planted vineyard acreage.

Napa Valley Real Estate at its Finest 

Napa Valley real estate is perhaps at its finest in and around the beautiful town of Saint Helena.  Discover the lush vineyard estates, tasteful villas, victorian in-town charmers, and the additional, if rare, opportunities of open land--all of which make Saint Helena real estate arguably the most coveted wine country land in all of California, and perhaps the world!
