The Land
Reinstein Ranch sits on 80 acres at 8201 Highland Road in the Historic Livermore Valley, at the end of the road, 45 minutes from San Francisco and minutes from the 580/680 interchange. The Livermore Valley is not a compromise location for buyers priced out of closer markets. It is a destination, with a wine region, a federal laboratory presence, and a land corridor that has attracted serious property owners for more than a century.
The land itself runs from the valley floor toward the hills, with Jackass Canyon and its natural spring just to the Northwest. The acreage is productive in the way that land becomes productive when it has been worked with intention across generations: there is infrastructure everywhere that matters and open space where open space is correct.
The Structures
The 1860 draft horse barn is the defining structure on the property. Timber-framed, standing on its original footprint, used continuously for 165 years. There is no comparable structure of this age in active use within this region. Its current configuration supports events up to 150 guests with a tasting deck, open floor, and the kind of ambient presence that no renovation budget can manufacture.
The main ranch house is approximately 120 years old. It carries a wraparound porch, 12-foot ceilings, and the proportions of a home built by people who intended to be somewhere permanently. It is the principal residence and does not contribute to the tenant income calculation.
The cottage, the two modular homes on the property and other structures are tenanted. These structures represent the immediate income layer of the ranch and provide the new owner with housing flexibility that a single-structure property cannot offer.
The distillery building houses the production equipment and barrel storage. The tasting deck, adjacent to the barn, functions as both an event space extension and the operating front-of-house for the distillery experience.
The Working Infrastructure
Four barns. A covered arena. A large outdoor arena. Three round pens. Two flat pastures. Tack storage. These are the operational components of a 30-horse boarding facility that has been running continuously long enough to develop a clientele that treats this place as a permanent home for their animals.
The Location
The Historic Livermore Valley is 45 minutes from San Francisco under normal conditions and accessible from both the 580 and 680 corridors. The Livermore Valley AVA produces wine that draws serious buyers and visitors from across the Bay Area. The presence of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has created a professional and academic community in the region that is not typical of comparable agricultural valleys in California. The quaint but bustling downtown has been the focus of much redevelopment and rivals the most sought-after downtowns in the Bay Area. Add to that, the San Francisco Premium Outlets (in Livermore), the third busiest Municipal Airport in the country, and the multiple high-tech and finance large employers and startups within a 15-mile radius; it is no wonder Livermore has become a destination.
For a buyer coming from the Bay Area, Reinstein Ranch is close enough to maintain the relationships and commitments of a primary professional life, and distant enough to be somewhere entirely different when they arrive.
Offered at $8,000,000.
