TV host Ryan Seacrest sold his 40-acre estate in Napa Valley for $18.5 million — $3.5 million less than he first listed it two years ago.
The host of “American Idol” and “Wheel of Fortune” finally sold the 10,750-square-foot estate surrounded by vineyards at 232 North Fork Crystal Springs Road in St. Helena, Global Mansion and Realtor.com reported. The buyer was undisclosed.
The listing was held by Cyd Greer of Coldwell Banker Boker of the Valley.
Seacrest bought the sprawling property in the heart of wine country in September of 2020 for $14 million. It was revamped in 2024 by Silvia Nobili of Nobili Marqués Arquitectura, based in San Mateo.
In the summer of 2024, the now 51-year-old Seacrest listed the estate for $22 million. More than a month later, he removed the listing, only to hang a for-sale sign in April 2025 at the same price.
In March, Seacrest chopped the price to $19.8 million, then ratcheted it down to $18.8 million. Weeks later, he closed on the sale for $300,000 less, settling for $18.5 million.
The gated estate includes an 8,700-square-foot main house and guest cottage surrounded by views of vineyards and mountains.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, built in 2004, has a rustic feel, with reclaimed wood beams, antique French limestone and wide-plank oak floors, and seven wood-burning fireplaces.
The grounds include an infinity pool and bocce court, surrounded by mature trees and native plants. Seacrest added 220 fruiting Italian olive trees.
St. Helena, a 4-square-mile city in the heart of the Napa Valley, has long drawn celebrities and Silicon Valley executives. It is known for vineyards that produce premium grapes, and wineries that create some of the world’s best vintages.
The smiling host is familiar with cutting prices on homes.
In 2022, Seacrest sold his Beverly Hills estate for $51 million after slashing the list price a significant amount since its late 2020 listing, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The property first hit the market in November 2020 for $85 million. The price dropped to $74.5 million the following year and again to nearly $70 million in early 2022, The Real Deal reported.
