Set on approximately 2.7 acres along one of Napa Valley's most storied rural corridors, this is a rare opportunity to steward a place where California history, architectural pedigree, and land legacy converge. For more than six decades, the property was owned and carefully stewarded by the Brusstar family, whose name… Read More is woven into the fabric of Napa Valley's agricultural heritage. The site was home to Brusstar's Christmas Tree Farm widely regarded as Napa's last remaining cut-your-own farm a living remnant of the valley's quieter, pre-boom era defined by family stewardship, continuity of ownership, and deep respect for the land. Warren Brusstar, a former Major League Baseball player and member of the 1980 World Series-winning Philadelphia Phillies, later inducted into the Napa Valley College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011, adds a distinctly human dimension to a provenance already rich in meaning. Equally significant is the property's documented architectural lineage. In the late 1950s, the landscape was designed by Thomas D. Church widely regarded as the father of modern California landscape architecture and the defining voice of California's indoor-outdoor living ethos. The Brusstar project is formally recorded in the Thomas D. Church Collection at UC Berkeley's Environmental Design Archives, with original drawings and manuscripts preserved. Verified Church landscapes in private hands are extraordinarily rare, and in Napa Valley, virtually nonexistent. The original main residence has been removed. What remains a detached studio with kitchen and bath, a garage, and a built-in pool set among redwoods and bordered by a seasonal creek offers a compelling and practical foundation. The studio functions beautifully as a full-time residence while a future main home is thoughtfully designed and built, subject to county approvals, allowing the next owner to live within the land before committing it to architecture. Zoned Agricultural Watershed and designated a Rural Homestead, this is not a development play. It is an invitation to those who understand that the rarest properties are not measured in square footage, but in story, soul, and the weight of what came before. Read Less
