A sprawling winery estate in the heart of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley has been listed for sale at an asking price of $14.9 million. Garnet Valley Ranch Winery, located north of Summerland, boasts extensive vineyards, diverse agricultural land, and significant undeveloped acreage, presenting a unique opportunity for a buyer looking to acquire a substantial wine-producing property.
Garnet Valley Ranch Winery offers a remarkable combination of viticulture and natural beauty. The property features 55 acres of meticulously planted vineyards, selected by a terroir consultant, alongside 8.5 acres dedicated to vegetables and lavender. The estate is described as a unique blend of vines, lavender fields, restored ponds, and wildlife corridors, all set against sweeping valley views.
Beyond the agricultural aspects, the winery includes a modern log home, temporary housing for workers, a workshop, and RV sites, catering to both residents and visitors. A recently constructed guest center and a 2,500-square-foot patio are designed to host events, enhancing the property's appeal for tourism and hospitality. A significant portion of the land, 229 acres, remains undeveloped, offering considerable potential for expansion or conservation.
The undeveloped land is not merely empty space; it serves as vital wildlife corridors for animals such as bears and deer. The presence of a pond and the observation of numerous bird species, including osprey, highlight the property's ecological richness. This commitment to preserving natural habitats is a distinctive feature of the Garnet Valley Ranch.
The $14.9 million asking price is for the real estate and associated infrastructure. Potential buyers should note that the winery's brand, existing inventory, and certain other assets would need to be negotiated separately as part of the transaction.
