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.

The property includes an underground concrete wine cave engineered to such an extreme that it can double as a potential survival shelter or high-security vault. Reinforced with 18,000 lbs of rebar and 90 yards of poured-in-place concrete, it can support a two-story structure or two full-sized trucks on the roof slab—ideal for buyers concerned with future resilience.
