Located approximately 1.5 hours north of the San Francisco Bay area and 25 minutes north of Healdsburg, The Hopland Hills Ranch encompasses a diverse landscape, both serene and private. This 900 +/- offering is perhaps one of the finest ranches in all Northern California. Gentle ground and grand vistas come with the convenience of access off two major highways.
The land rests on the southern edge of the Sanel Valley and streches east to the McDowell Valley, bordering the Russian River to the west. Pristine rolling hills canvas the ranch, fading into open meadows, dotted with towering Valley Oaks and dynamic rock outcroppings. Ample water resources are available, with extensive water rights from the Russian River and the onsite private lake which lies on the southeastern fringes of the ranch. The lake not only provides utility but is also a prime habitat for waterfowl and wild game. The bulk of the ranch is accessible via a developed internal road network.
Rich soils deliver an ideal growing medium for the ranch’s vineyard operations. Planted on a large bench above the residence, 17 acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been used to produce world class wines. The Cab vineyard blocks showcase 360-degree panoramic views of the valley and Duncan Peak to the west. Adjacent the hillside vineyard, an additional 200 +/- acres has been ripped and amended, with the intention of planting in the future. Fertile soils created by alluvial deposits from the Russian River, provide approximately 40 acres of land bordering the river which is planted to 20 +/- acres of productive Chardonnay, with 10 additional acres ready for redevelopment. The balance of the ranch is fenced and cross fenced, with several stock ponds for the leasehold cattle operation. While the utility of the land creates the opportunity for vineyards and grazing, the ranch should not be overlooked for its recreational attributes as well.
Easily accessible from the primary entrance of the ranch, is the main residence. Completed in 2013 by a notable contractor in the area, the 2,356 square foot farmhouse features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Detail and quality are present throughout the home.

Also nearby the main residence, is an ancillary building used as an office currently, offers potential to be converted to a third residence. Several ag support barns are located throughout the property as well. With a total of 4 legal parcels, the opportunity to construct multiple other dwellings is also present.
