Historic elegance
Ink House exudes charm and character in a way that can only be found in historic properties. The home was built for gold prospector and early Napa Valley settler Theron Ink, who established Helios Ranch in 1870. Its architecture reflects the Italianate style of the time, with intricate details that have stood the test of time. Ink House also served as an inn — home to Elvis Presley during the 1960 filming of “Wild in the Country” — allowing guests to become part of the rich tapestry of Napa’s past.While Ink House retains its charm, the farmhouse was renovated in 2017 to modern standards. Central heating, air conditioning, smart home technology and boutique furnishings ensure that leasees experience the best of both worlds.
