Peter Magowan’s St. Helena Estate For Sale for $13 Million

A well-positioned buyer with a taste for wine can hit a home run and purchase the Napa Valley estate of late San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan.

The 20-acre property at 150 Mills Lane in St. Helena is on the market for $13 million, Realtor.com reported.

Magowan, who owned the Giants from 1993 to 2008 and helped keep the franchise in San Francisco, bought the 20-acre St. Helena property in 1992. He died in 2019 at the age of 72. His wife Debby Magowan is now listing the estate, which includes a 7,175-square-foot main house, 15 acres of planted vineyards and resort-style amenities including a pool and spa, outdoor kitchen pavilion, pool house, breakfast nook, three wood-burning fireplaces, a tennis court and landscaped gardens.

The Mediterranean-style compound has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half-baths and has been modernized with solar power, multiple wells, upgraded irrigation systems and a smart-home platform. The vineyards produce sauvignon blanc, cabernet and petit verdot grapes.

Magowan, the former CEO of Safeway, led the investor group that bought the Giants from Bob Lurie in 1993 for $100 million, preventing the team from relocating to Florida. He later spearheaded development of what is now Oracle Park and signed Barry Bonds to a six-year, nearly $43.8 million contract in what was then the richest deal in baseball history.

The listing lands amid top-of-the-market activity for trophy estates and other commercial properties with wine ties. Elsewhere in St. Helena, TV host Ryan Seacrest is searching for a buyer for his 40-acre estate overlooking vineyards below. Seacrest cut the price last month to $19.8 million, down from its 2024 list price of $22 million.
