The plantable vineyard-land is ideally oriented as a series of gently rolling hillsides from 0 – 30% slope with a handful of high-elevation, small block sites that would be ideal for ultra-premium boutique vineyard blocks.

Elevation for the blocks ranges from 1150’ – 1650’ with varying aspects allowing for a diverse mix of vineyard orientations. The western portion of the ranch falls within the Santa Maria AVA, well-known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay prowess, while the rest of the ranch falls within the greater Central Coast AVA.
Located on Foxen Canyon Road — known as the “Foxen Canyon Wine Trail” — the ranch is surrounded by premium wine producers including Zaca Mesa, Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard, Firestone Vineyard, Koehler Winery, Andrew Murray Vineyards and Demetria Estate and Vineyards. In addition to these vertically integrated vineyard and wine producers located in the neighborhood, the ranch is also a short jaunt from the acclaimed food and wine hamlets of Los Olivos, Solvang, Santa Ynez and Los Alamos.
