A Private Offering
Sta. Rita Hills · California
Where the sea fog cools the night, and wild horses graze the ridge above.
For one piece of ground to hold all of it — old oaks, a working vineyard, a bobcat in the shade, and wild horses on the ridge — at this scale, and this whole, is rare. That wholeness is the thing you cannot buy back once it is gone.

The Land
Forty-six acres in the heart of the Sta. Rita Hills. The valley runs east to west — one of the very few on the Pacific coast to do so — and each evening it opens to the sea, drawing the ocean fog straight up it and cooling the land through the night. The rare geography that keeps this ground cool and steady as the rest of the coast warms.

The Vineyard
Twenty-one acres, planted in 2000, beside Melville. Brought back into production, it is the working heart of the place — cover crops between the rows, the old vines in fruit again.

The Residence
A five-bedroom house above its own vines, set under the oaks — beam and light and long views, a pool, the kind of place a family keeps for generations.

The Setting
On the ridge above, a band of wild horses grazes the morning grass, near the Return to Freedom wild-horse sanctuary. A bobcat works the oak shade; hawks ride the afternoon thermals, and the barn owls come out at dusk over the grass.


The Offering
A whole, living landscape, offered for the first time. The estate, its vineyard, and a newly opened path to a small farmstay and retreat — among the first of its kind in the valley.
