6955 Estrella Road lies along the south line of Estrella Road, about 4 miles from Highway 101 in the town of San Miguel in an area almost entirely devoted to agricultural and rural uses. The 95.82 acre property with abundant water is comprised of a 66-acre vineyard with the balance dedicated to the homestead and equestrian facilities. The summers are hot and dry, the winters cool and moist, both offering model weather for riding the river bed or strolling through the vineyard. The 66-acre, organically farmed vineyard is planted with 18.9 acres Merlot and 47.7 acres Cabernet, resistant rootstock. The estate is improved with a 2,818 square foot home, guest & labor residences, barns and equestrian facilities. The homes and horse facilities have been fully rented for the past five years, producing an annual income of $62,000.
