Restoration Hardware CEO Gary Friedman is selling his $10.5 million Napa Valley home - and it's just as stunning as you'd imagine
The mansion is situated on a breathtaking property in St. Helena, in California's famous Napa Valley. Natural elements are thoughtfully showcased throughout the grounds, taking advantage of the environment.
These eight-foot black gates are complete with elegant brass hardware, and make for a dramatic entrance to the estate.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Friedman paid $5.9 million for the house in 2013. He initially planned on turning it into a private getaway for himself, but then decided to remodel and resell it. The whole process took two years to complete, and the results — like this majestic entry courtyard —are stunning.

Symmetry, neutrality, and precision reign supreme in the fully-furnished, 5,772-square foot-house. All furnishings are by Restoration Hardware, as is to be expected.
Throughout the house, it's all about addition through subtraction," Friedman says in a video by Pacific Union. "There's one color of paint throughout the whole house; there's one color of floor finish throughout the whole house.

The dining room table is in the center of a jaw-dropping wine vault — a fitting touch for a home in the middle of wine country.
As part of the renovation process, Friedman added two more bedrooms to the house, coming to a grand total of six. The master boasts a beautiful four-post bed, while the guest rooms are "almost mirror-images of each other," so that no guests end up feeling slighted by room allocations.

The house's four-and-a-half baths also showcase the sophisticated innovation that Restoration Hardware is famous for.
"One of the biggest breakthroughs I think we made was the master bathroom," Friedman said. Without any conventional hardware framing, the glass just seems to float.

Another of the home's special amenities is the gym and yoga studio, which Friedman and his crew installed in what was formerly a garage for a third car.
The massage table is also a major perk: with prime views of the sprawling vineyards, it's the ultimate place to relax and unwind.
Gorgeous outdoor facilities invite residents and visitors alike to enjoy the good weather and natural surroundings. This pristine outdoor shower is perfect for a post-pool rinse.
Complete with a fireplace for cooler evenings, the outdoor lounge is a fabulous place for entertaining.
Without a doubt, the pool is one of the house's most impressive features. Flanked by tall palms, trimmed boxwood hedges, and an assortment of lounges and daybeds, it stretches between the main house and the free-standing guesthouse.
