(MarketWatch) — For visitors to California wine country, Chalk Hill Estates would be a dream property to own if you just happened to have the tens of millions of dollars in your bank account to even consider buying it.
Chalk Hill, outside the town of Windsor in Sonoma County, is a 1,400-acre estate sitting in its own namesake wine appellation. About 350 acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and several other varietals. There is a mansion to live in, guest houses in which to put up your friends, a few lakes and an equestrian center with nearby horse stables. There is also a tiny chapel to get married in. And atop the vineyard hills — sweeping postcard views that extend for miles.
