Site
This parcel is just west and north of West Salem on Gibson Road off
Brush College Road in the Eola-Amity Hills American Viticultural Area.
Wineries in the area include Evesham Wood and Redhawk on the next hill to
the east and Bethel Heights, Cristom and Witness Tree just to the north.
Numerous vineyards are in the vicinity, including one of the new Premier
Pacific vineyards just around the corner. It is 5 minutes from Salem
proper and 40-45 minutes from Portland. It would make an ideal integrated
vineyard, winery and estate homesite parcel.

Land
The acreage is elevates from 250’ at Gibson Road to 520’ at the
top of the property. There is about 3 acres of plantable ground at the
road and 33 plantable acres on the upper bench. There is 18.3 acres in a
cleared, ready-to-plant field and an additional 15 acres that are wooded
but plantable adjacent to the field to the east. The slope fairly gentle
in most of the plantable area and is primarily south and east. Soil type
is predominately Nekia, the most predominant soil in the Eola-Amity Hills.
It is described as a dark reddish brown silty clay loam 3-5’ deep over
broken and weathered volcanic basalt. With some clearing of the woods, the
view would open over the valley to the Cascades, including Mt. Hood and
Salem city lights.

Improvements
The house is a modest 2-level daylight ranch built in 1969 with
some updating in 1980. It is 3,180 sq. ft , 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath and two
car garage with wood deck upper level and concrete lower. Perhaps the best
use of the house would be for vineyard management or remodeled into
tasting and offices, thereby freeing up a 2nd homesite approval for the
top of the hill. There is a 1.250 sq. ft. barn/horse building on the lower
level as well. There is a 20 g.p.m. well at the house along with all other
utilities.

Zoning
