Business Description
Sierra Peaks Winery | Squaw Valley-Miramonte AVA | Fresno County, CA
PRICE REDUCED: Turnkey Boutique Winery & Fortress-Like Safe Haven Estate in Central California Wine Country
$835,000 | Sierra Peaks Winery | Squaw Valley-Miramonte AVA | Fresno County, CA
Nestled at 3,000 ft in the Sierra foothills, just 35 min from Kings Canyon–Sequoia National Parks & 30 miles from Fresno International Airport, this 10-acre turnkey micro-winery, fortified wine cave, and custom-built ranch home is ideal for those seeking a rare blend of lifestyle vineyard ownership, self-reliance, and future-proof safe haven living.
