Outdoor Living and Creek Access

A large, recently painted back deck spans the length of the house, overlooking the grounds and Slate Creek, creating a peaceful setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sound and view of the water. The property has gentle topography down to the creek, making the water more accessible and usable for recreation.

A 4 foot 10 inch wide steel bridge crosses the creek and enables both foot and machinery traffic across Slate Creek, including mower, wheelbarrow, and 4x4 access. This is a unique feature for a creekfront property and helps support frequent access to the barn, pasture, and improvements across the creek. The property also benefits from vehicle access through a gate from the gravel road at Wilderville Lane on the back side of the property, creating practical use on both sides of the water.

Land, Vineyard, and Irrigation

The land includes rolling lawns, mature landscaping, pasture, several established gardens, herbs, orchard plantings, table grapes, pomegranate, cherry, pear, apple, fig, walnut, strawberry, raspberry, and a small vineyard of approximately one acre. Vineyard varietals include Syrah, Vermentino, and Touriga Nacional.

The vineyard is supported by drip irrigation and frost protection. A 2,500 gallon water holding tank fills in approximately one and a half hours before distributing to the vineyard through three gravity fed irrigation blocks. The property also has irrigation rights and nine manual irrigation zones supporting the grounds and landscaping.

Barns, Garage, and Outbuildings

Across the creek is a 32 foot by 24 foot barn with a matching size loft, gravel floor, pole frame construction, and post and pier foundation. Two additional 18 foot by 32 foot lean-tos provide storage and animal utility, with one side open but fenced for storage and the other side configured with two horse stalls.

Additional improvements include an 18 foot by 40 foot fully enclosed metal RV barn with 110 power, aluminum frame, 15 foot center height, and a 12 foot tall by 14 foot wide door. The detached single car garage measures approximately 24 feet by 16 feet and includes concrete floors, insulation, roll door, man door, 220V with 100 amp power, and a window heat and air conditioning unit. It is currently used for wine storage.

Other improvements include a poultry coop, tool shed by the bridge, water holding tank, perimeter fencing, asphalt paving, gravel access, and useful storage areas.
