With years of prestigious awards in California and other wine competitions to its credit, Alger Vineyards utilizes certified organic and biodynamic methods that honor the character and sustainability of its location in the Manton area of Tehama County. At roughly 2,500-feet elevation and with deep volcanic soils, approximately 32 acres of vines in this Manton Valley AVA are devoted to 26 acres of Syrah and Petite Sirah, with another 6 acres hosting 10 other varieties of grapes. Water sources include deeded senior ditch irrigation rights to 22 miner's inches, along with a domestic well. Pumping out of a stocked pond of approximately 6 acre-feet is used to provide organic matter to the vines on watering days. The vineyard is home to a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath 2,900 sq.ft. main home built in 2004, and an older 2 bedroom 1 bath foreman/caretaker house. Additionally, the property features a 1,014 sq.ft. second-floor wine tasting room with panoramic views over the vineyard and valley beyond, above a climate-controlled wine storage space. The vineyard is approved for a winery of up to 25,000 cases per year, and zoning allows for various agritourism options, food services, weddings, special events, and farm labor housing, among other potential uses. For potential buyers only wanting a small non-commercial family vineyard and home site, the owners are planning on being able to offer several smaller parcels as an alternative way to enjoy Manton's fresh air and friendly community of approximately 350 residents. The county seat of Red Bluff (pop. 14,500) is approximately 32 miles west of Manton, where I-5 crosses over the Sacramento River, half-way between Redding and Chico. Lassen Volcanic National Park, Sacramento River, and Shasta Lake recreational opportunities are all within easy driving distance. Bottom line, this beautiful property is a rare find, whether looking to operate a successful vineyard, or looking for a smaller secluded homesite with amazing views.
