World's Most Affluent Wine Connoisseurs Add Stunning Winery and Lifestyle Property to Their Auction Napa Valley Itineraries
32 acres of vineyard on Pritchard Hill - "Napa Valley's Rodeo Drive" - are the must-see attraction for this year's Auction Napa Valley attendees
ST. HELENA, Calif., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- An 80-acre property on Pritchard Hill featuring 32 acres of vineyard, an impressive winery permit, massive caves, and stunning residential site is set to draw visits from the world's most affluent wine connoisseurs during the upcoming Auction Napa Valley, the most celebrated charity wine event of the year. This unprecedented Long Ranch Road Estate offering is priced at $55,000,000 with James Keller of Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley facilitating the sale.
Described by Wine Spectator as, "Napa Valley's Rodeo Drive," Pritchard Hill is home to many of the valley's top wineries including Colgin, Bryant Family, Chappellet, David Arthur, Ovid, and Continuum. James Keller, a third-generation Napa real estate broker, has worked with numerous outstanding vineyard and winery properties throughout the valley but sees this as a unique opportunity to gain instant entree into the elite ranks of Napa Valley landowners. "Pritchard Hill is an area where you find established wine families as well as very ambitious and perfection-driven individuals making wines and creating a lifestyle where everything is taken to the Nth degree," says Keller. "It's arguably the most prestigious neighborhood in the entire Valley, planted with vineyards that are essentially Napa's answer to a Bordeaux first growth."
With a property of this size and potential, prospective buyers include affluent individuals building upon successes in other industries, an existing luxury wine brand looking for a home, or a larger international concern already involved with luxury winemaking. Keller says, "The Long Ranch Road property is on par with recently sold wineries like Araujo and Sloan and in some ways is more compelling, as it offers an opportunity for a global brand to bring their own identity to a primed operation with a substantial permit for future wine production but no preexisting winery brand."
The vineyards on this Long Ranch Road Estate have produced multiple 96-point rated wines as well as a 99-point bottling and are paired with an absolutely stunning residential building site. The property holds an impressive permit for a 50,000-gallon winery, allowing for future growth and expansion, as well 20,600 feet of winemaking and hospitality caves that are dug and near completion, all making for a once-in-a-generation elite winemaking and lifestyle opportunity.
