Hawk Watch Vineyard & Residence

Set amid the scenic San Diego backcountry, this distinctive vineyard estate offers the rare combination of an established winery, a private country residence, productive vineyard acreage, and the lifestyle that comes with owning a proven wine property. More than simply a commercial operation, the property presents an opportunity to step into a setting that has been thoughtfully developed around wine, agriculture, entertaining, and rural living.

The vineyard and winery have an established history of successful operation, providing a meaningful foundation for a new owner looking to continue the existing business, develop their own wine label, or shape the property around a broader vision. A substantial inventory of wine and related winery assets may be included with an acceptable offer, creating the potential for continuity of operations and added value for a buyer seeking a more turnkey opportunity.

At the heart of the property is the residence, offering the ability to live where you grow, create, and entertain. The surrounding vineyard landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for everyday life, with the appeal of country living combined with the character and authenticity of an operating winery. Whether envisioned as a private vineyard estate, owner-operated winery, second home, or an agricultural and hospitality-oriented retreat, the property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to replicate.

An additional and potentially significant component of the property is its existing County of San Diego Major Use Permit associated with the winery operation. Subject to independent investigation and County approval, there may be an opportunity to pursue modification of the existing permit to accommodate expanded or modified uses. Any potential expansion, including changes to tasting, hospitality, events, production, or other activities, would need to be evaluated directly with the County of San Diego Planning & Development Services and other applicable agencies. San Diego County currently permits certain winery operations through a Major Use Permit and is also actively evaluating amendments to its winery regulations, making the existing entitlement particularly worthy of further investigation by a prospective buyer.

This is a property with an established story, not a vineyard starting from scratch: an existing winery operation, residence, vineyard setting, inventory, infrastructure, and an entitlement framework already in place. For the right buyer, it offers the opportunity to preserve what has already been successfully created while exploring what the next chapter could become.
