Eola-Amity Hills Vineyard Homesite


Swallow’s Run Vineyard including 3 homes for multiple family living

THE SITE: This property is in the mid-Eola Hills on Spring Valley Rd. about 7 miles northwest of Salem on the main wine touring routes. Neighbors include Christom, Witness Tree, Argyle’s vineyards, St. Innocent and Zenith Vineyards, Bethel Heights Vineyards and Bryn Mawr Vineyards all on the same hill as the subject and all within easy touring distance. The views from this site are some of the finest in the mid-Valley. The site is about 40 miles from downtown Portland up 99 or across the Willamette on the Wheatland Ferry to I-5 and in. Also 10 minutes to Salem.

THE LAND.VINEYARD The site is completely in the “zone” for growing winegrapes in the Willamette Valley: southeast sloping from 500-200’ elevation with the plantable area consisting of Jory, Nekia, and Ritner, and Gelderman soils , which are some the best volcanic soils upon which to grow grapes. There are 3 acres of phylloxera-resistant Pinot noir in full production and 1 acre of Chardonnay coming into partial production this year. Additionally, there are almost 13 acres that are plantable, with 9.5 needing to be cleared. The Pinot vineyard is leased for this year.

THE IMPROVEMENTS: There are 3 legal houses, with their associated homesite approvals. One is an1896 farm house that when torn down will free up a building right anywhere else of the property of any size. The owner’s custom, “great room” designed house, completed in 2008 is open, warm and perfect for a family. Focused on the east facing views, is contains 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a cook’s kitchen where the cooks sees the best views. It is 2,613 sw. ft. and all one level with porch on one side and deck on the other. Tastefully appointed. The third house is an older 1730 sw. ft. remodeled 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, single story house near the road that the seller estimates would rent for between $1,200-$1,300. There are also a barn of the same vintage as the older house, a shop/shed and a pond just below the main house. The road through the property is paved and also serves several properties beyond the subject. Traffic is not through and is very light. So, a new owner could build their own “dream” home toward the top of the property by tearing down and replacing the old farm house.


ZONING: The property is zoned Exclusive Farm Use and cannot be further split. The property could, with 15 acres of grapes in the ground, be approved for a winery.
