If you’ve always dreamed of being a gentleman farmer, why not take that up a few notches and make that a suave, sophisticated vineyard owner? On 654 acres, you can still have your beef herd to keep the pastures grazed down and a few goats to keep underbrush cleared and the horses can take you to survey your kingdom. As long as they’re paying their way, you have the pleasure along with the bonus when they go to market. A very functional arrangement between man and beast indeed.

It’s the kind of property where all the pictures are so stunning, it’s impossible to pick just one. The Mediterranean-style mansion? The view? The vineyard? What to do! Even the driveway is gorgeous. The home makes you feel like a count or countess with its elegant architecture. Consisting of 20,000sf with five bedrooms, an oak-paneled library, state-of-the-art home theater, family room, elevator, safe rooms, climate-controlled cellars for art as well as wine, and, of course, your very own tower and bridge. With six months of summer, the sixty-five foot infinity-edge swimming pool will be a joy. The pool area is surrounded by antique European stone decking, a lawn and multi-tiered sculpture garden, not to mention the valley and mountain views.

Money making operations include the vineyard of 24 acres of vines producing over 60 tons of fruit annually selling at $5500/ton for the Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up 85% of the total production, and $4,000/ton for the Merlot. There are over 100 Manzanillo olive trees producing 30-50 gallons of oil a year. Additional income can come from backgrounding or breeding cattle and another good market is in Boer goats, if you’re so inclined.

Other features include the 36 solar panels, which produce 300-400 amps, the potable spring water with four holding tanks and the bass pond which is also used as an irrigation reservoir. All utilities are underground. If you’re not half crazy with desire for this incredible property by now, better get someone to check for a pulse!
