Getaway In Oregon Wine Country

Newly built house is located on a 100 acre property of woods, vineyards and meadows. The property itself has been featured in many magazines and newspapers because the main home (our residence) is an award winning home built in 1948 and designed by Pietro Belluschi, who was a prominent Northwest architect and Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT. The 1/4 mile private road takes you over a stream, past a large pond (which the grey herons call home) and up the hill. At the vineyard, the road splits off, one part leading to the main house, and the other leading to the newly constructed Vineyard House. The 16 acres of vineyards are yours to roam about in, perhaps with a glass of pinot noir in hand. The Vineyard House itself is located beneath several magnificent ancient oaks, which add to the sense of stillness and complete privacy.
The large deck around the front of the house is a perfect setting for drinking your morning coffee, or sipping your evening glass of complimentary Menefee Vineyards designated wine. Once inside the house, you will enjoy a large living /dining room, with floor to ceiling windows that frame the valley views below. The vineyards surround this home.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities to cook gourmet meals, including a gas stove. The black granite countertops and eating island make it a delightful place to sit while some clever person whips up something delicious to eat.
There are two bedrooms - both have queen size beds. One of these beds is a Murphy bed. Should you need only one bedroom, this second room is perfect to use as a study/office for extended stays. Each bedroom has a bathroom. There is also a small laundry room - especially helpful if you have been hiking through the woods, or have offered your services to help with harvest in any of the vineyards in the area.
The surroundings are completely private. You may, however, have an occasional deer peering in through a window, but they generally prefer to eat the newly planted landscaping. A hammock under the big oak trees is a perfect way to relax after a day of wine tasting. There are many trails to hike on, and several guests have spent good parts of their days riding through the country side on bikes. If you like to fish, you can try your luck in the stream at the bottom of the property, or drive to nearby Haag Lake.
Should one choose to not cook, there are numerous restaurants in the area. A list of the local restaurants, as well as a list of the vineyards and their tasting rooms, will be available.
