Eaglepoint Ranch | A Legacy Vineyard Estate Above Ukiah Valley
Set atop a rare geologic shelf nearly 1,800 feet above Ukiah Valley, Eaglepoint Ranch encompasses over 1,300 contiguous acres of spectacular ridgelines, historic vineyards, and rich California heritage. Once part of the renowned Hildreth Ranch, operated by one of Mendocino County’s founding families and home to legendary lawman “Doc” Standley, this extraordinary landscape is steeped in more than a century of Western history.
In the 1970s, visionary vintner and chocolatier John Scharffenberger transformed Eaglepoint into Mendocino County’s pioneering site for high-elevation viticulture. Today, the meticulously maintained, organically farmed vineyard comprises 31 distinct blocks producing premium Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Syrah, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Counoise grapes. Each vineyard block thoughtfully follows the land’s natural contours, optimizing grape quality while safeguarding the pristine environment.
Beyond its esteemed vineyards, Eaglepoint features licensed cannabis cultivation across five legal parcels, a mature 100-tree olive orchard, and expansive pastureland ideal for cattle or equestrian use. Water resources are abundant, sourced from multiple natural springs, a serene pond, and a deep and abundant well with pure clean water originating in the Sierras. Property infrastructure includes barns, various outbuildings, three stationary light-dep greenhouses, and two residences, a modest ranch home awaiting rejuvenation and a charming cottage. Numerous estate-caliber homesites offer commanding vistas of Ukiah Valley and the rugged beauty of the surrounding Mayacamas range.
Eaglepoint Ranch uniquely blends absolute privacy, extensive potential, and unmatched convenience. Though secluded and serene, it is just minutes from downtown Ukiah’s vibrant shops, restaurants, schools, and municipal airport. Bay Area buyers will find the ranch easily accessible, located within a scenic two-hour drive from San Francisco or the Sonoma County Airport, positioning Eaglepoint among California’s most conveniently situated large-acreage vineyard estates.
Further elevating its appeal, Eaglepoint Ranch directly adjoins the expansive 52,000-acre Cow Mountain Recreation Area, providing immediate access to over 120 miles of trails perfect for hiking, horseback riding, ATV exploration, and hunting. This vast, public wilderness of oak forests, dramatic ridgelines, and diverse wildlife expands the ranch’s recreational potential into a grand outdoor playground.
Lovingly stewarded by the Wentzel family since 2005, who attained full organic certification in 2013, Eaglepoint Ranch represents far more than acreage, it is a living testament to agricultural excellence, meticulous environmental stewardship, and untouched California beauty. Ideally suited as a private legacy estate, an exclusive vineyard brand headquarters, or an elite retreat, Eaglepoint Ranch is a rare generational opportunity awaiting its next visionary owner.
