The Vineyard
The vineyard is situated at the ideal elevation of 800-900 feet above sea level, allowing for excellent air flow, frost protection and superior wine grape growing conditions. Five acres of mature grapes and two acres ready to plant produce Chardonnay, Petit Mensang and Viognier grapes for several nearby award winning wineries.
The Guest House/Caretakers Residence
The guest house and currently the farm managers residence is nestled far off the main entry road. It has 925 sq. ft. of living space with two bedrooms, large kitchen/dining area and living room, plus one full bath, all on the upper level. The lower level has 925 sq. ft. serving as a shop and equipment storage, with large overhead doors.
The Land
The rural and unspoiled natural beauty of this property and the surrounding countryside are what makes this a very special place. A combination of rolling pastureland, mature forest, acre pond, vineyard and spectacular views make this a highly desirable estate. This property and many of the surrounding properties are now protected with conservation easements which will insure the protection of the land and the magnificent views for generations to come. The conservation easement allows for a winery, supporting buildings for vineyard, winery and farm use, as well as expansion of existing homes and an additional residence, while preserving the integrity of the core property.
