Robert Mondavi Mansion Sold

Pool in the living room of Mondavi house ... why not? /File photo

Remember that two-bedroom steal I told you about in the Napa Valley? That’s right, the former home of the late wine pioneer Robert Mondavi and his wife, Margrit, that was going for nearly half off?

Well, if you had your eye on it, you’re too late, buster. Someone has snapped that puppy up.

Unfortunately, the details, reported in today’s Napa Register are a bit scant. There were apparently two bids which were “strong,” but below the listed price of $13.9 million.

Other than that all we know is that the house sold for an undisclosed sum to an undisclosed buyer. Apparently the purchasers own property in the U.S. and overseas, but do plan to use the place as a residence. So, Napa friends, you might want to pop over with a nice house-warming gift basket.

Here’s what they got: 11,500 square feet in a  56-acre estate with fabulous views, a tower and a 50-foot indoor pool off the living room.

Vinecdote has said this before, and she will say it again. Is this a great country, or what?
