Description

Set in the fruitful and fertile Santa Maria Valley, this legacy property is ideally located on both sides of the iconic Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, among award-winning vineyards such as Bien Nacido, Katherines, Au Bon Climat, and Tepusquet. With a stellar reputation for producing exceptional grapes, versatile agricultural potential, and a rich history, Goodchild Vineyard is a valuable addition to any portfolio or winemaking operation. The 63.6 net acre premium vineyard has been meticulously managed to produce estate quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes for owner's winery and select clients. Its dedication to hand-tended farming practices ensures exceptional grape quality while prolonging the life of the vines and trellis. Goodchild's grapes consistently sell above district average due to its well-established reputation. The 79 gross farmable/usable acres are supported by a reliable on-site agricultural well, with level to moderately sloping terrain, ideal for wine grapes and high-value row crops. Goodchild is highly adaptable to vegetable and berry production. Santa Maria Valley is a major hub for row crop farming because of its ideal growing conditions and crop rotation. The Santa Maria Valley is also a strategic growing area for many large producers because of its central location between Salinas Valley and the Oxnard Plain. This optimal combination of location, climate, soils, and water security, ensures a reliable long-term investment, which is further supported by the well-established land rent demand by both local farmers and regional producers.
