A Paso Robles vineyard estate long owned by Terry and Jennifer Hoage has just popped up for sale. After a successful two-decade run, the couple have retired and closed the business; and now they’re offering the entire spread in the Willow Creek District for $7 million. The listing is held by Jenny Heinzen of Vineyard Professional Real Estate.
Resting amid California’s Central Coast, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the property housing the award-winning TH Estate Wines was previously known as Terry Hoage Wines. Records show the couple—he a former college and pro football player, and she an accomplished interior designer—paid $975,000 in summer 2002 for the 26-acre parcel, then subsequently began crafting Rhône varietals and Pinot Noir, having recently received their highest score of 98 points from Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
The gated property features a 1,000-square-foot multipurpose workshop and studio with a personal temperature-controlled wine store, a one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with its own living area and kitchenette, and a three-bedroom, three-bath main house that is licensed as a holiday rental. In addition, there is a 17.5-acre vineyard and 3,000 square feet of commercial space that includes areas for winemaking, a lab, an office, and main and private tasting rooms.
Regarding the main house, this 3,100-square-foot modern home with stacked stone and stucco exterior features lush Cumaru wood floors and Lutron lighting. Other notable features include a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, white Macaubas quartzite countertops, a large eat-in island, Wolf appliances of the highest caliber, a wine cooler, and a walk-in pantry connected to the dining area and family room on either side.
Elsewhere is a primary bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and luxe bath; and outdoors, the picturesque grounds are laced with fruit and olive trees, and host a covered al fresco patio for sipping your favorite vintage alongside a fire-pit and barbecue area, heated saltwater pool and spa, bocce court and another fire-pit right next to a sustainable pond.
The property also comes with the option for the new owners to lease out the winery, begin a legacy of their own by renaming the winery and carrying on with land cultivation, or use the building for another hobby or purpose. However, the original brand and business have been dissolved and are not included in the sale.
“Will have the great fortune that we experienced and be embraced by the community we have been deeply fortunate to be a part of the past 20 years,” the couple continued.
