Splendid Ranch: reclaimed Napa Valley. Rustic, romantic elegance in the heart of the wine country.

SPLENDID RANCH is the home of artist/designer/builder, Lisa Splendid. Nestled in the foothills of the south eastern corner of rural Napa Valley, this property is a feast for the eyes and a salve to the soul. Surrounded by nature, flanked by vineyards, rolling hills, a pond, boulders, gardens and natural beauty, Lisa has created a unique living experience and backdrop for life as well as a one-of-a-kind photographic opportunity. This property is a compelling artistic expression with an unparalleled use of repurposed materials gathered from all over the Valley. The overall style is rustic, elegant, artistic, funky, comfortable, well thought out and indescribably yummy! Exterior, as well as interior colors are chosen with a commitment to an organic & repurposed vibe that seamlessly stitches structures into the natural landscape. It is warm and inviting at every turn. Spaces available include: LISA'S BUNGALOW, not a "tiny home" per se, but a very small, cozy, deliciously intriguing home with wall treatments that include the old, rusty, corrugated liner from her childhood Doughboy swimming pool. Decor is punctuated with antiquity, but not in a traditional way. Her old oil can collection; rusty and paint chipped, the teal-blue glass transformers from days gone by, spigot handles as drawer pulls... everywhere you look, the colors and textures draw you in. A SMALL LOG CABIN made from reclaimed vineyard posts situated up a few concrete steps organically formed around a moss covered boulder the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. This cozy space with privacy and priceless views, has great potential for recording a podcast or YouTube Video as well as photo/video shoots, writers and musical artists looking for a quiet and inspiring place to create. Expand the space by opening the french doors onto the redwood deck which overlooks the giant boulder and garden beyond. AN OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM covered but open-sided with comfortable furniture, wide open views of acres of open space including the pond, vineyards, foothills and mountains. A lovely water feature adds to the vibe and produces a calming sound if you would like that as background for any audio recordings. THE OUTDOOR BEDROOM is truly magical. Especially at night with the twinkle lights spilling down over the silver mosquito net canopy. It is the most romantic setting imaginable and off the charts at the "magic hour" when the setting sun backlights the eastern hills in a pinkish/golden glow. This space is about all things romantic, especially wedding photography & couples portraits. THE GARDEN has too many possibilities to list with the mature fruit trees lining the path, coolest hen house ever, tomato tunnel, garden shed, arbored patio and greenhouse made of recycled windows (currently under construction.) A SWING SET you would find at any city park back in the day awaits you at the East end of the garden and overlooks the pond. THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHIC OPPORTUNITIES from the BOTTLEGATE entrance to the GABION ROCK WALLS to list. I will do my best to show the spaces I've described above with high-res photos, the rest, you will have to discover on your own. VIDEOGRAPHERS, PLEASE NOTE: The sound of wildlife is a regular occurrence and can be a lovely addition to the ambience whether on film or audio if your looking for an authentically natural vibe. Almost the entire property is available for photo & video shoots as well as movies, documentaries, interviews, podcasts or ... just ask.
