	Site This property sits in one of the most sought after wine industry locations in the Oregon - Worden Hill Road – which runs right above the main winery travel route in the Dundee Hills. This is the access route to Erath Winery, Torii Mor, Lange, Bella Vida, Cameron, the new Winderlea and Maresh Red Barn, along with some of the best vineyards in the states. The custom builder’s house looks over Webber and Juliard Vineyards to Mt. Jefferson, the Cascades, and the Valley, with lights at night all the way to Salem. Just past Fairview Road (on the north side), this is truly one of the best addresses for a vineyard estate, possibly a winery and a B&B (the last two need county approval). The property is 28 miles from Portland and 40 miles from the Coast.
	Land The site is adjacent on the south and east to Dick Erath’s Prince Hill vineyard. The land is south sloping from 560-500’ elevation. As with most vineyards in this AVA (American Viticultural Area), the soil type is Jory, a deep red silty-clay loam, rich and loaded with minerals to add complexity to the wines. Vineyards in this AVA are bringing some of the highest prices in Oregon and demand remains high. The vineyard-suited land is cleared and ready to plant. Pesticides have not been used and would help establish any level of ecological farming desired.
	Improvements The builder/owner has used his impressive attention to detail to make this a beautiful, classic, yet comfortable, Craftsman home to take advantage of its world-famous surroundings. The 6,400 s.f. two-story was built in 2001 with 4 bedrooms plus office, 3 full and 2 half-baths, gourmet kitchen and great room, large custom wine cellar, huge family room, billiard room, patios and decks, all designed to gather in the incredible views. The grounds in front include an in-ground pool, and pool house accessible from the great room and family room. The back patio, off the formal dining room, includes a massive fireplace and picnic area, and sits below where the vineyard would be planted. There is also a slate countertop and electrical outlets for outside entertaining. The water is a spring-fed cistern feeding two tanks and with a full treatment system. Outbuildings include 4-car attached garage, storage shed, and 30 x 40 shop.
