Living in “the quiet side of Wine Country” is a lifestyle beyond compare. Cimarron Vineyard is the quintessential mix of rough and rugged with smooth and polished. The ranch house has been remodeled in detail. The kitchen features high end appliances, custom cabinets, granite counter tops and slate floors. French doors in the dining area open to a large viewing deck. The great room features a huge brick fireplace, open beamed ceiling and traditional wood floors. This room flows to a more formal living or dining room with large windows overlooking the garden, lawns and mountains beyond. The master suite and sitting room are plush and private with French doors to the viewing deck. Two more roomy bedrooms are situated to provide privacy and views. The front of the estate is all about entertaining and the spectacular sights and sounds of wide open spaces. The views from the home and deck are grand in scale. Distant mountain tops, glacial formed valleys, oak studded hills, vibrant evening sunsets, white rail fencing and the red barn are all dominated by the volcanic outcroppings of Rim Rock Ridge.
 
A favorite spot for guests is the “bunk house.” Is it a good idea to call a guest house with slate floors, large brick fireplace, big bathroom, full kitchen and a wall of windows a “bunk house?” If it’s yours, it’s O.K.!
 
There are 300+/- acres of endless possibilities. The rich red soil of Cimarron Vineyard produces some of the best grapes in Wine Country. The current vineyard is 30+/- acres and is under contract with Hess Collection Wines and the expansion potential is superb. Horses are also a big part of country living and Cimarron’s terrain, clean air, wide open spaces, weather and location are just right for raising, training and riding horses in true western style.

Specialty hobby farms are clearly a growing cottage industry in this area of wineries, lakes, sports and entertainment. Just 25 minutes from Calistoga and a world away from the hustle and bustle of the big city is “The Quiet Side of Wine Country.” We invite you to visit Cimarron Vineyard Country Estate and experience for yourself what this quintessential Wine Country retreat has to offer.
