18078 OLD WARDS FERRY ROAD, SONORA, CA
Nestled in the rolling foothills of California’s Gold Country – and California’s other Wine Country – lies a
remarkable opportunity.
La Bella Rosa is a vineyard. A winery. A luxurious custom villa. A guest home. And plenty of pasture for more
grapes or for livestock. La Bella Rosa is perched on about 37 acres just outside of Sonora. And it’s just a couple
of hours’ drive from Silicon Valley and San Francisco. La Bella Rosa offers the fortunate buyer an opportunity
to turn a dream into a reality or simply create a retreat to reflect or recharge among grapes and grassland. The
elements are here for you to make La Bella Rosa your own.
THE PROPERTY
The heart of La Bella Rosa is the five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and three acres of Syrah grapes, the equipment
to grow and harvest the grapes, as well as the winery equipment to crush, ferment, bottle and label the wine.
La Bella Rosa is compliant with California’s Williamson Act, which offers tax relief to property owners who
maintain appropriate agricultural or open space uses.
The property, with six ponds and four wells, holds pre-1914 water rights, a critical agricultural benefit for its
arid climate. A state-of-the-art drip irrigation system is sized for 24 acres. Deer fence runs along the property’s
perimeter. And the property is cross-fenced, too.
THE VILLA
Enjoy nearly 3,000 square feet of luxurious living space. Host family and friends in relaxed style or entertain
formally. The home is designed for both.
Vaulted ceilings and fireplaces in the living room and in the dining room help create a warm ambiance. Windows
frame vistas of the valley and the vineyard. The spacious master suite is downstairs and brags with vaulted
ceilings, too. It’s a comfortable place for you to enjoy your own respite. Two cozy bedrooms, a large bath and a
sitting area upstairs wrap family or guests in comfort and elegance simultaneously. They can sit in solitude, watch
television or read a book as they gaze out the window... The kitchen includes the expected appointments; slab
granite countertops, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and everything the most demanding chefs want to
prepare sumptuous feasts.
A large pantry enables you to store plenty. And the food preparation area, a second dishwasher and wet bar make
it easy for the caterer to prepare treats and drinks for your guests and to clean up afterwards. Most luxury homes
boast a wine closet. This villa boasts a cavernous barrel storage area.
Life extends nicely beyond the walls of the home. And Gold Country weather is the reason. Dangle your feet in
the pool/spa or soak after a day of wine tasting or winemaking. You’ll drink in three-hundred degree views of the
rolling hills, sunsets and Sonora’s city lights as you savor the fruit of the vine from your own vineyard.
THE VILLA - continued
THE GUEST HOME
Short- or long-term guests make the second home a terrific option when you host them. It could also generate
income as a rental. Or give your vineyard manager a place to live in comfort. With three bedrooms and two
bathrooms, this home is almost 1,500 square feet.
A great room off the kitchen provides a place for boisterous fun or to watch the big game on the big screen. And
another group can enjoy their conversation in the living room. The kitchen is roomy, too. That is, if your guests
want to prepare their own meals.
WINERY, TASTING ROOM, EVENT AREA
La Bella Rosa is a working property. The building housing the winery and tasting room is just over 1,800 square
feet. It includes a full kitchen, including a walk-in refrigeration box. The building also has a dressing room and
a wheelchair-accessible restroom. The winery includes the crusher/de-stemmer, press, stainless tanks, hoses and
fittings, pumps, laboratory, bottling equipment and more that the current owner uses to make and bottle wine.
With its own entrance to the property and plenty of parking, the building is next to a lawn area that’s about
12,000 square feet and one of the six ponds on the property. So it’s perfect for hosting events large and small.
OTHER BUILDINGS
A huge shop, with more than 3,800 square feet, includes an office. The building provides a convenient, central
place to get things done. The property includes a two-stall/hay barn, too.
