Planted grapes include 24 acres of Syrah, 8 acres of Merlot, and 6 acres of Grenache. Three water wells produce roughly 1000 gallons per minute combined which provides more than ample water to service the vineyards. Deer fencing and netting protect the grapes from predators. The vineyard is under excellent management and grape yields have almost quadrupled during the three years. The rest of the Ranch is on a separtate legal parcel of over 1800 acres, accessed by a easement through a neighboring property. This gorgeous piece of unspoiled wilderness is private, secluded, and well protected -- acres and acres of gorgeous rural land with open rolling meadows, wooded valleys, underground springs, magnificent blue oaks as well as live oak, sycamores, and willows, annual grassland and valley foothill riparian, and a wide array of wildlife. A neighboring land owner currently runs about 100 mother cow/calf pairs on the property, who share the land with black tail deer, tule elk, quail, bobcats, wild turkey, owls, hawks, wild pigs, quail and dove. Three developed springs provide year round water for the wildlife and the cattle. The land has immense beauty and dimension - from open meadows to gentle slopes to steep mountain-sides with dramatic rock out-croppings. The property is fenced and cross-fenced and a well maintained road runs through the property so that the land is easily accessed. The acreage is ideal for hiking, horse-back riding, and camping, and can provide awesome inspiration for artists and photographers.
