Paso Robles vineyard estate listed on market for $3 million
Old vineyard cleared, property is now on the market as a ‘blank slate for a new vineyard endeavor’
– A 24-acre estate at 115 Booker Road in the Willow Creek District of the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area is now available for purchase. The property, listed at $3 million, offers an opportunity for wine enthusiasts and investors to develop a new vineyard project.
The estate has a history with Napa Valley wineries and winemakers, including Benoit Touquett, Napa Valley winemaker of Realm, who has owned it for the past three years. During this time, the old vineyard was cleared and a new well was developed in preparation for a high-end vineyard project. Due to a change in plans, the property is now on the market as a blank slate for a new vineyard endeavor.
Originally planted in 2002 by local VPS under the direction of the Barrett Family of Chateau Montelena, the vineyard included syrah, grenache, and mourvedre. The Barrett Family is known for winning the historic “Judgment of Paris” wine competition, which brought global recognition to California wine. The property’s southern exposure, calcareous soil, and diurnal temperature shifts create an exceptional vineyard site.
The Willow Creek AVA is known for its ideal wine-growing conditions, including coastal cooling influences and rich soil. The estate includes a new well and a 13-acre vineyard footprint ready for planting. It is situated off West Highway 46, offering views of Niner’s Heart Hill Vineyard and the surrounding green hills.
In addition to the vineyard potential, the property includes a three-bedroom main house, a separate studio, and entitlements for an additional home and barn with a shop. The 1,740 sq. ft. main house and studio are fully furnished and currently operate as vacation rentals, providing immediate income potential.
“This property is a remarkable Paso Robles treasure, offering a unique blend of historical significance, modern luxury, and incredible potential,” said Jenny Heinzen of Vineyard Professional Real Estate. “For anyone looking to make a name in the wine industry, 115 Booker Road is an absolute must-see.”
