Dry Creek Valley Ranch

The Dry Creek Valley Ranch is directly across the road from Ferrari Carrano Winery. This property is situated on a hilltop where the building site takes advantage of the native landscape for the ultimate in privacy. This side of the ranch has a magnificent southern exposure with views across the Dry Creek Valley.

The Dutcher Creek side of this ranch is accessed by way of Dutcher Creek Road.

This Dry Creek Valley Ranch has everything that I look for in a country property. It has 4 distinct environments that give it more range that ranches twice its size. Most of the vines are Dry Creek Zinfandel!

1.    The Farmhouse Area. This area has the farm house, garden area, stable that is nowt a chic outdoor dining area,a picnic area, a smoker big enough to do an entire pig, a camping area, barns and wonderful forest views.

2.    Lower Barn Area. Across Dutcher Creek Road there is a 6.61 acre parcel that has a huge new barn and acres of vineyard planted to Sauvignon Blanc. Dutcher Creek itself meanders through this side of the property. It has its own distinct micro climate.

3.    The Forest. The forest area of this land is spectacular. Grab a tent and a couple of items and minutes later you are in the best camping area in the area.

4.    The Dry Creek Side. This is all vineyards with permits ready to be executed for a new home and the home plans are done. Located directly across from Ferrari Carrano winery this is a brag piece of property.

This is a rare opportunity to create your own private sanctuary with all of the building plans completed and approved by the Sonoma County Building Department. Whether a weekend family retreat or a full time residence this property delivers solitude and outdoor recreation in a one of a kind environment

Because this ranch is a bit away from the Dry Creek Valley floor it is a prime spot for all types of wild life. Many times while driving to the ranch I become overwhelmed with the beauty of the area. Imagine the best nature movie you have ever seen but a better version every day. There is nothing like it!

The Vineyard

There is approximately 10 acres of vineyard currently planted. The Vineyard is currently under lease to Mauritson Vineyards and planted to Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.

The Asti Area

My Italian American heritage is centered here as well. You see Asti used to be populated with over 15,000 folks, mostly Italian American during the 1900’s. During the 1960’s more folks visited Asti than Disneyland. When the Italians emigrated they had an opportunity to work here for room and board. At the end of your 2 year stint you would collect your wages for the entire time. My Grandfather took that money and developed The Peerless Laundry of San Francisco and was the first laundry to do pressed shirts on the west coast.

Lake Sonoma is just a few hundred yards away with its unending recreation areas for fishing and hunting. . We have spectacular sunsets with billowing clouds that are clearly developing over the ocean.
