Site
This parcel is located in the Coast Range foothills southwest of
McMinnville, off Highway 18, northwest of Bellevue and about 3.5 miles
north of Sheridan. Vineyards and wineries in the area include Mysara,
Hyland, Coleman, Seufert, and Yamhill Valley Vineyards. The site is
minutes off the main route to the Coast from Portland and Salem yet
situated in a private and picturesque setting. A homesite permit
application is pending and the final price will depend upon successful
conclusion of the process.

Land
The offering consists of a total of 88.5 acres. About 50 acres are
suitable for grapes and range in elevation from a high of 640’ to a low
of 400’ on primarily south to slightly southwest slopes. Soils are an
interesting mix of very desirable vineyard-suited types of both volcanic
and sedimentary origins. The largest block is Jory, a red, silty-clay loam
of Dundee Hills fame which is fairly deep over weathered basalt. In
smaller lots are Nekia, a shallow version of Jory seen throughout the Eola
Amity Hills AVA, and Yamhill, a soil of volcanic
origin with brown, silty-clay loam, over gravelly and rocky-silty clay on
top of weathered basalt. There is also a patch of Willakenzie, the
sedimentary soil common in the Carlton Yamhill AVA, which is a brown and
yellowish-brown silty-clay loam over siltstone and sandstone.

Improvements
There are no dwellings on the property. See below for homesite
approval information. There is currently no well or developed springs on
the property. Wells in the area are highly variable. There are also no
utilities onto the property. There is a very good rock road up onto the
main portion of the parcel.

Zoning
The parcel is zoned Exclusive Farm Use. The minimum parcel size is 80
acres, which means the property cannot be split in such a fashion that no
resulting parcel would be under 80 acres. There are currently two tax
lots. The land use application for a homesite approval, if successful,
would combine the two and they would not be separately conveyable. If
unsuccessful, then they could be conveyable and each could gain a homesite
permit from income from farm operations grossing more than $80k per year
for 2 consecutive or 3 of 5 years. (Consult with Yamhill County Planning
department to verify this information.)
Location
Property is located on Gopher Valley Road, about 1 mile west of its
intersection with Dupee Valley Road, on the right. See maps.
Price
$500,000. This is the price if the homesite permit is granted. If not,
the price is $400,000.
