1830 howell mountain road

A rare close-to-town view parcel just minutes from downtown St. Helena and only two minutes to Meadowood, this +/- 2.85-acre wooded hillside setting offers exceptional privacy, dramatic topography, and inspiring valley-facing outlooks. The property is connected to St. Helena city water, a valuable convenience rarely found on parcels of this scale in the surrounding hills. An authentic circa-1932 cottage (+/- 2,324 sq. ft. per assessor) remains on the property and may be reduced to a +/- 1,200 sq. ft. guest house under Napa County guidelines, creating a clear path for a new modern main residence designed to capture the views. Mature trees, natural contours, and multiple potential building areas make this an ideal canvas for a design-driven retreat or a spec builder seeking a compelling land-value opportunity. With its proximity to town, privacy, and architectural potential, this is a rare chance to create a contemporary St. Helena estate where nature, convenience, and vision align.
