Description:Halter Ranch is defined by its vast, diverse landscapes and iconic historical architecture. Spanning 2,700 acres in the Adelaida District, the estate offers a rare blend of rugged natural beauty and sophisticated infrastructure. Key features include the 19th-century Victorian Farmhouse (famously featured in 1990’s Arachnophobia), ancient oak woodlands—home to the world-record 'Ancestor Tree'—and a charming covered bridge. This historic charm is balanced by striking modern architecture, including a state-of-the-art tasting room and a gravity-flow winery featuring 20,000 square feet of underground limestone caves. Beyond the vineyards, the property offers unique production assets including two historic barns, large-scale art sculptures, a private airstrip, and a working Swiss locomotive.
