After years of being in the market, the late Robin Williams' Napa Estate finally found a buyer for $18.1 million.
According to Pop Sugar, Villa Sorriso was initially listed for $35 million, but the place had an astounding price cut. The 20,000-square-foot mansion was placed in the market two years ago for $29.9 million, and it was last listed for $22.9 million.
The property features a two-story entry with a rotunda and bell tower. It has a total of five bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a separate caretaker's house which has four bedrooms. Aside from the spacious bedrooms, it also has a 12-seat home theater and three safe rooms. It also features an oak-paneled library and wine and artwork cellars.
Outside, it has a 65-foot long infinity pool, a tennis, court, well-manicured lawns and rolling gardens. Los Angeles Times also reports that the property includes more than 18 acres of producing vineyards, horse and hiking trails and a nine-stall horse barn.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Williams built the house which is located in the Mayacamas Mountains in the early 2000. It was first placed on the market for $35 million and was relisted in April 2014 for $29.9 million. Williams, who died from a reported suicide in August 2014 at the age of 63, left the property to his wife and children, and it was listed on the market again after several price cuts.
It was revealed that the buyer of the 650-acre estate are French winemakers Alfred and Melanie Tesseron of Château Pontet-Canet. It was reported that they are planning to make more wine from the property's vineyards, but it is still not clear if they also plan to build a winery in the estate. It was reported that the sale of the Mediterranean-style house and the whole property is considered to have one of the highest prices ever paid in Napa Valley.
