Napa Home Of Robin Williams Sells for $18.1 Million

NAPA - The Napa Valley estate of the late comedian Robin Williams has sold for $18.1 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Williams built the house, located in the Mayacamas Mountains, in the early 2000s. The estate originally went on the market in 2012 for $35 million with Sotheby’s International Realty, then was relisted in April of 2014 at $29.9 million.

The Journal says the buyers of the 650-acre estate are French winemakers Alfred and Melanie Tesseron of Château Pontet-Canet. The Tesserons plan to make wine from the property’s 18.4 acres of vineyards, but it’s not clear if they’ll build a winery there.

The Mediterranean-style house boasts about 20,000 square feet, and has a 65-foot infinity-edge swimming pool that overlooks surrounding hills.

Co-listing agent Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker says the price is one of the highest ever paid for a Napa Valley home without a winery.
