Back in 2019, Bill Falk and his wife Dina fell in love with a particularly dreamy estate tucked away in Northern California ‘s famed Napa Valley wine region and knew they had to make the “beautiful, tranquil, and private” spread their own. The couple—he the go-to-market president of cyber security company Actifile and she a landscape designer—wound up purchasing the 70-plus-year-old property for $2.3 million and subsequently restored and renovated the place, complete with a new patio and a 40-foot swimming pool.
Now, a little over five years later, the Falks are putting their fully transformed compound up for sale, asking nearly $5.2 million. “We can’t think of a better location in the valley,” Bill and Dina said in a statement.
“On many a warm afternoon, a lovey cool breeze flows through the vineyards and onto our patio as if to say, ‘The day is done...
sit and enjoy for a spell.'” Nestled beyond gates, amid two separate parcels of land resting alongside a scenic vineyard-lined lane off Highway 29, the 1-acre compound features a sleek modern main home designed by architect Matthew Stannard of Seattle-based Stillwater Dwellings , a farmhouse-style guesthouse, and a restored and remodeled barn boasting an apartment up top and an entertainment area below—for a total of five bedrooms and three baths spread across nearly 3,500 square feet. There’s also smart-home technology to remotely manage the estate’s security, climate, lighting, and irrigation syst.
