General overview
Beautiful airy spacious home in great neighborhood, close to wineries and vineyards, and great restaurants and markets. Only 75 minutes from the heart of San Francisco.
In Napa Valley there is wonderful hiking, biking, kayak opportunities as well as hot air balloons that sail across the amazing terroir of the valley. And many great golf courses as well. Very much a place for great door experiences as well as great food, wine, and culture.
Within an hour of Napa are beautiful national and state parks, which offer hiking for all levels, picnicking, swimming, kayaking, surfing, canoeing, paddleboarding, and sightseeing. Plenty of options for golf and tennis too. The Pacific Ocean beaches are beautiful and plentiful for families to enjoy, as are the oyster farms that make for great picnics.
Within 3 hours, you can be in the Sierra Mountains and Lake Tahoe, a spectacular place for hiking, skiing, boating, and swimming.
The space
Our home is a very modern contemporary home, that is full of individuality, art and warmth. We keep our house and outside grounds well cared for and would do the same for anyone else's home we share. Our open plan kitchen is fully equipped for great cooking, eating and drinking, and creating great memories with family and friends.
The house is on two levels, connected by a spiral staircase. 3 bedrooms and family room are on second floor, with one very large master bath, and one large bath for the second bedroom. The third bedroom is used as a library, but can accommodate another bed.
The downstairs bedroom is in a separate wing of the house, and is set up as an office and has a full bath attached to it. The bedroom can also accommodate a bed, if necessary.
The main floor has a living room and open kitchen leading into the back patio and garden, where dining "al fresco" is always available. We have a BBQ grill, hot plate and other tools for entertaining at night, including lighting throughout the backyard. There is an additional half bath off the living room.
There are also two separate garages that we use for storage and keeping our car inside.
Guest access
2 floors with spiral staircase.
Notes
We have a Toyota Camry Hybrid car available for guest use.

Ron and Naomi
We are Ron and Naomi Scharman, living in beautiful scenic Napa Valley, home of some of the world's greatest wines and world class restaurants, as well as amazing local produce, meat, and fish from the nearby Pacific Ocean. I am originally from New York and Naomi is from Japan, where we met 40 years ago. I have worked in the wine industry since we moved to Napa 20 years ago and found our dream life here in wine country, with only a short distance away having the beauty of San Francisco and the Bay area. Our two grown sons and our two grandchildren live in Southern California where we travel to quite frequently.
We are interested in 2 - 4 week simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges in Europe during the January - August or end of year 2025 timeframes.
