Within a gated setting in Manton, this former winery offers a rare chance to shape a home around authentic winemaking heritage. The existing structure provides a solid starting point for conversion, blending rustic character with old winery ambience and generous, open-span construction. Essential infrastructure is already in place, including a concrete foundation, electric, a swamp cooler, septic system, and a domestic well. A full bathroom is included, and the space is plumbed for a kitchen, making it easier to envision everyday living within the building’s expansive footprint. Outdoors, ditch system irrigation runs throughout the property, with additional building pads ready for future plans. Completely fenced, gated, and private, it reads as a quiet canvas for a one-of-a-kind lifestyle grounded in history and possibility.

From its mountain setting at Sun Meadows in Kirkwood, this village residence puts alpine life within easy reach. Step outside and you’re just moments from five ski lifts, making first tracks and mid-day returns feel effortless. Nearby, the scenic meadow extends the season in a different way—an inviting backdrop for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing when the snow falls, and a calm place for peaceful summer strolls once it melts. Here, the rhythm of the day follows the mountain: quick transitions from home to adventure, then unhurried walks through open meadow as the light changes. With Kirkwood’s outdoor energy and village charm close at hand, it’s a setting designed for simple, satisfying days in every season.
