Valentine Vineyard

Valentine Vineyards presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial vineyard estate with established agricultural use, exceptional water resources, multiple residences, and meaningful long-term potential. Located within a private and exclusive valley just north of Cloverdale, California, the property encompasses approximately 173.51 acres across multiple parcels within the broader North Coast appellation. Ideally positioned along the northern reaches of Mendocino County, the estate offers convenient access from Highway 101 while retaining the scale, privacy, and natural beauty of a true legacy agricultural holding.

Through significant frontage, the property offers a rare connection to one of Northern California’s most celebrated waterways, the Russian River. The river, together with rolling pasture, forested hillsides, creeks, reservoirs, and open countryside, creates opportunities for fishing, swimming, paddling, hiking, wildlife viewing, and other outdoor pursuits. Elevations ranging from approximately 400 to 800 feet contribute to the estate’s varied terrain, scenic character, and remarkable sense of privacy.

Water is among the property’s most valuable and distinguishing assets. Two natural springs, two reservoirs providing approximately 46 acre-feet of combined storage capacity, multiple storage tanks, and permitted surface-water rights from Edwards Creek provide substantial support for agricultural and domestic use. Combined with the Russian River frontage, these resources offer meaningful utility, resilience, and long-term value.

At the heart of the estate is a two-story main residence of approximately 3,805 square feet, featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living spaces, a chilled wine closet, and expansive wraparound porches. Positioned to capture elevated views across the vineyards and surrounding countryside, the residence provides a comfortable and inviting setting from which to experience the property’s natural beauty.

Additional improvements include an approximately 1,173-square-foot Gate House with three bedrooms and one bathroom, a separate two-bedroom, one-bath cottage of approximately 723 square feet, and an agricultural barn encompassing approximately 4,980 square feet. Together, these improvements offer flexibility for extended family, guests, estate management, agricultural operations, equipment storage, or other supporting uses.

The estate’s scale, multiple parcels, residential improvements, water resources, and agricultural character create the foundation for a multigenerational retreat capable of being enjoyed and stewarded for decades to come. Continued agricultural ownership and operation lends to potential tax benefits and conservation opportunities.  

The property is currently planted to approximately 84.47 productive net vine acres, including 36.11 acres of Pinot Noir, 26.50 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, and 21.86 acres of Chardonnay. An additional 20.25 acres are considered potentially plantable, preserving flexibility for future vineyard development or alternative agricultural uses. Existing vineyard infrastructure includes VSP trellising, drip irrigation, and professionally maintained farming improvements capable of supporting continued operations.

More than a vineyard, Valentine Vineyards is a substantial private estate defined by land, water, natural beauty, and possibility. Whether envisioned as a working agricultural property, private family compound, recreational retreat, or enduring legacy holding, the estate offers an increasingly rare combination of scale, accessibility, infrastructure, and seclusion in Northern California wine country.
