A report based on soils and topography by Red Hills Soils has estimated
that 350± acres of the Dupee Valley property is plantable as vineyards.
(Please see Supplemental Information Package.) Amajority of the property
is within the grape elevation of 300 to 800± feet. The highest elevation of
1,011± feet is along a plateau on the western ridge; the eastern ridge line of
800± feet is near the Hyland Vineyard upper block.
The Auction property encompasses much of the Dupee Valley floor, as well
as the hills and ridges on both the east and west, which form the Dupee
Valley. There is considerable southeast exposure, ideal for growing grapes,
in addition to the western ridge having both south, and southwestern,
exposures.
The seller had sold a portion of the property in the southwest section
along Dupee Valley Road that has since been developed for a vineyard.
An additional adjoining owner has developed a small vineyard by the
southwest section of Parcel A.
The property has an on-site rock source that can be used for road
development. The property also has a three bedroom, one and a half
bathroom caretaker residence and a small barn in the southeast portion
of the tract. The house is currently rented month-to-month for $1,000 and
will be vacated prior to close of escrow. All fields are fenced and currently
leased for cattle grazing.
The property was subdivided in 1914 by Northwestern Land and
Improvement Co. and contains over ninety individual parcels that could
add flexibility in selling smaller parcels to both individuals and adjoining
owners, but would not allow development of a homesite unless it were
to meet zoning requirements and conditions. (Please see Supplemental
Information Package.)
The Dupee Valley property has excellent habitat for elk and bird hunting
and is within the Trask Wildlife Management Unit. A new owner can
obtain a landowner preference tag. (Please see Supplemental Information
Package for details.)
Offering this property in two parcels of 720± and 435± acres is subject to
partition approval by Yamhill County.
Parcel A – 720± acres
Published Reserve Price: $1,650,000
This 720± acre parcel is located along the west side of Dupee Valley Road,
has a gated entry, and three quarters mile of Dupee Creek frontage. Both
Hyland Vineyards and an additional private land owner have developed
vineyards to the southwest corner of the parcel. There are an estimated
180± acres of fields that are fenced and 240± acres of potential plantable
vineyard land located primarily along the south- and east-facing slopes,
above the fields. An estimated 100 acres have been cleared for vineyard
development at a cost of over $350,000. Those 100 acres are located by the
main entry drive on the lower slopes, and in the southeast corner on the
southwest-facing aspect of the ridge top. The remaining property is well-
stocked with young to advanced reproduction, providing a new owner
long-term timberland investment opportunity. Additionally, the property
has oak savanna near the entry and in the southeast section. There are
several excellent locations along the ridge for a view homesite; the lower
fields are suitable for development of an equestrian facility.
