Exceptionally rare, this site offers approximately 40 sprawling acres at the summit of Mount Richmond as the northern-most vineyard within Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Rising from roughly 800 feet to just under 1,000 feet, the south- and southeast-facing property combines sweeping views, natural air drainage, pronounced diurnal variation, and remarkable privacy. This is a true high-elevation vineyard site, not ordinary valley-floor acreage. The site occupies ancient uplifted Coast Range terrain well above the 400' limit of Missoula Flood deposits, with low-vigor ideal Bellpine soils expressing the ancient marine-sedimentary geology that distinguishes Mount Richmond and Oregon wine in the Willamette Valley. Elevation, exposure, and geology create compelling terroir for notable traditional-method sparkling wine with freshness, structure, natural acidity, and an unmistakable taste of place. Approximately the entire site offers highest quality vineyard potential. ~10 acres developed by Vitis Terra at 8-by-5-foot spacing. All vines from Guillaume who supplies Opus One. Certified ENTAV selections on 3309C include Pinot Noir 667 and 943, Chardonnay 76 and 96, Pinot Meunier 864, Pinot Blanc 54, Pinot Gris 52, Chenin Blanc 982, and Gamay 358. Deep Roots Coalition qualified and managed using biodynamic practices; Demeter qualified. 5,270 feet of 7-foot tall perimeter deer fencing encloses the entire property. Native Oregon white oak savanna, the headwaters of Hay Creek, dramatic sunrises and sunsets, and a scenic three-mile gravel approach create an extraordinary sense of arrival and a dramatic reveal. Improvements include a 2,429 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bath farmhouse, barn, outbuildings, and an excellent quality and production well. Pending right investment, the property offers the scale, infrastructure, and identity to become a serious estate-wine and hospitality destination with world class vineyard potential - Elk Cove and Big Table Farm are neighbors.
