Wine country estate

is quite a production

In Napa Valley, the French

country-style compound of Steven

Bochco— the late TV producer

behind “L.A. Law” and “NYPD

Blue” — has quietly surfaced for

sale at $8.5 million.

The estate, which is currently

owned by Bochco’s widow, Dayna,

encompasses 47 acres in the west-

ern hills of Oakville. The property,

offered off-market, has a Europe-

an-style main home, guesthouse

and olive grove among expansive

vistas and rolling vineyards.

Manicured gardens approach

the ivy-covered haunt complete

with three bedrooms and a hand-

ful of formal living spaces in 4,600

square feet. Everything is light

inside, from the tan walls to the tile

floors to the white coffered ceilings

in the indoor-outdoor dining

room.

Other highlights include a

voluminous great room, center-

island kitchen, library and cozy

lounge. Upstairs, one of the bed-

rooms extends to a Juliet balcony

overlooking the hilly landscape.

The backyard is a space all its

own. Dotted with terraces, dining

areas and small lawns, it extends

to a flagstone patio with a swim-

ming pool and spa.

Hillary Ryan of Compass and

Ginger Martin of Sotheby’s Inter-

national Realty hold the listing.

Bochco, who died in 2018 at 74,

won Emmys for “Hill Street

Blues,” “L.A. Law” and “NYPD

Blue,” which ran for 12 seasons on

ABC.

He owned a variety of real

estate over the years, including an

Encino Midcentury designed by

Richard Neutra that he sold for

$4.725 million in 2015 and a coastal

estate in Hawaii that he unloaded

for $11.5 million two years later.

A home to tame

the ‘Beast Mode’

Seattle Seahawks star running

back Marshawn Lynchhas scored

an oceanfront Hawaii property on

Oahu’s fabled North Shore, public

records show.

The Oakland native, who

helped the Seahawks win Super

Bowl XLVIII, purchased a 2,831-

square-foot, five-bedroom, three-

bathroom home that occupies a

9,516-square-foot parcel of land in

the Mokuleia area of Waialua for

$1.1 million.

The property has a total as-

sessed value of about $872,000,

according to property tax records.

Lynch’s estate is next to the

Hawaii Polo Club field and the

Dillingham Air Field, which is

home to several businesses includ-

ing Skydive Hawaii and the Pacific

Skydiving Center.

The Mokuleia area, which is

fairly secluded, is rich with beauti-

ful beaches and lush hiking trails.

Lynch was in Hawaii last year

hosting a kids football camp with

his NFL-playing cousins Marcus

Peters and Josh Johnson, who

co-founded the Oakland-based

Fam1st Family Foundation in

2006.

Nicknamed “Beast Mode” for

his hard-charging running style,

Lynch played college football at

UC Berkeley and was drafted by

the Buffalo Bills in 2007.

He was traded three years later

to Seattle, where he made four Pro

Bowls and led the NFL in rushing

touchdowns twice before retiring

in 2016. Lynch, who loves Skittles,

came out of retirement the follow-

ing year to play for his hometown

NFL team, the Oakland Raiders.

Lynch came out of retirement

for a second time toward the end of

the 2019 NFL season to join the

Seahawks in their regular-season

finale against the archrival San

Francisco 49ers and in Seattle’s

two playoff games.
