Dramatic wild beauty has drawn many to Anderson Valley over the last few decades. The characteristics of the Valley are rolling oak studded grasslands to the east with dense conifer forests to the west dotted vineyards and rural estates. Mornings are cool, as coastal fog moves south through the old growth of the Navarro River Canyon and blankets the Valley regularly. This fog typically gives way to warm sunny days, providing a perfect climate for Pinot Noir.

As the Gateway to the popular Mendocino Coast, Anderson Valley has seen it’s own increase in interest as a stand alone attraction. As the region continues to gain attention from grape growers and wineries from the south, property values continue to rise, specifically plantable acreage. Big players such as Kosta Browne, Kendall Jackson, and Ferrari Carano to name a few have acquired large holdings in the valley over the last decade, not to mention it is the anchor location for Luis Roederer’s California sparkling wine production.

The scenic HWY 128 corridor seems to be an ideal second home location for Buyers from the south looking to escape the crowds and high prices of Napa and Sonoma.
