14495 Old River Rd, Hopland, CA 95449

Property Description

Located just 1.5 hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area and approximately 25 minutes from Healdsburg, The Hopland Hills Ranch spans roughly 800 acres of remarkable privacy and natural beauty in California's Wine Country. With convenient access off Highway 101, this exceptional offering delivers the rare balance of seclusion and accessibility. Positioned along the southern edge of the Sanel Valley and stretching toward the McDowell Valley, the ranch borders the Russian River and unfolds across rolling hills, open meadows, heritage Valley Oaks, and dramatic rock outcroppings. Expansive internal roads provide access throughout the property, inviting exploration by horseback, ATV, or on foot. The setting offers sweeping vistas in nearly every direction, creating a true sense of scale and serenity. Water resources are substantial, including extensive rights from the Russian River and a private lake tucked along the southeastern portion of the ranch. The lake enhances both the aesthetic and recreational appeal, serving as habitat for waterfowl and wildlife while supporting long-term agricultural use. Established vineyard plantings include 17 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon situated on a scenic bench above the primary residence. Along the Russian River corridor, approximately 20 acres of Chardonnay are planted in fertile alluvial soils, with additional acreage prepared for redevelopment. Roughly 200 acres have been ripped and amended for future vineyard expansion. The balance of the ranch is fenced and cross-fenced with stock ponds supporting grazing animals. The 2,356 sq ft farmhouse, completed in 2013, offers four bedrooms and three baths with a warm, refined country aesthetic. A central living area with fireplace and a well-appointed kitchen anchor the home, while wrap-around covered porches create effortless indoor-outdoor living. A separate two-bedroom, one-bath residence provides privacy for guests or caretaker use. An additional ancillary building offers flexibility for office, studio, or future residential conversion. Several agricultural support barns are thoughtfully positioned across the property. Comprised of three legal parcels, the ranch presents opportunity for additional dwellings, making it ideally suited as a multigenerational estate, recreational retreat, or long-term legacy holding. The Hopland Hills Ranch is a rare Northern California offering, where privacy, scale, natural beauty, and an enduring commitment to the land converge.
