Description

For over 100 years, this Westside Templeton estate has played a role in California wine history. First planted in 1924 by Amadeo Martinelli in a traditional Italian style, the 6.06 acre vineyard remains in production today—organically farmed Zinfandel, head-trained, and still thriving on original stock. Set on 9.6± acres in the desirable Templeton Gap District of Paso Robles AVA, the property offers generous space to build a primary residence and continue a celebrated story of winemaking.

First planted in 1924 by Amadeo Martinelli in a traditional Italian style, the 6.06 acre vineyard remains in production today—organically farmed Zinfandel, head-trained, and still thriving on original stock. Set on 9.6± acres in the desirable Templeton Gap District of Paso Robles AVA, the property offers generous space to build a primary residence and continue a celebrated story of winemaking. Permits are in place to produce wine onsite, and all fruit is currently contracted with Turley Wine Cellars (yields range from 4.47 to 12.56 tons in recent years). Limited ownership financing potentially available. The original 1934 winery, fifth to be bonded post-prohibition, stands alongside a newly added ADA compliant bathroom and separate meeting room. Today's winery is now the cellar under a 1920s cottage, partially updated with a new roof, windows, plumbing, and a spacious deck with breathtaking views. While a bathroom and additional interior updates are needed, the space offers excellent potential for restoration. Architectural plans included. All that, plus a permitted manufactured home with separate entrance and workshop. Historic fruit trees dot the landscape from Bing cherry, apricot, and pomegranate to orange, lemon, and peach. Opportunities abound. In a region of bold winemakers, this is your chance to define a legacy all your own.
