Vineyard & Ranch Estates of Oregon
There is a growing movement of wine aficionados who have found that owning a vineyard is more than just a way to grow your own grapes. It's also a way to enjoy life at perhaps a gentler, more gracious pace, and it can be the root of a successful family business.
Now Oregon specialty real estate buyers have a local source specializing in all aspects of wine country property including fine homes, vineyards, ranches, and vacation properties.
Lauren Bisbee is a powerhouse real estate professional who is an expert in her field.
In search of a more enjoyable business or lifestyle, a number of people are purchasing private vineyards and wineries.
The origins of wine are ancient, its roots tracing back to the very earliest civilization. Archeologists have found evidence of fermented grapes dating back as far as 6,000 BC, and examples of wine can be found in nearly every culture. Across generations and around the world, wine has been a staple of life, and often stomping and cellaring were a family affair.
Those who love wine and the lifestyle that allows them to live among the picturesque beauty of their own vineyard are coming to realize that owning a vineyard has benefits far beyond drinking your own label.
Many U.S. States have created a new class of winery license that allows farms to make and sell wines at the site, and there can be other marketing and tax-related benefits for agritourism or micro-wineries. Boutique winemakers also derive great pleasure from living an old-world lifestyle that's linked to the land and flows with the seasons.
