T
he Pines Estate, a 180-acre property in The Dalles, Oregon, is on the market for $2,850,000. This enchanting estate features a century-old farmhouse, rolling hills, high pastures, basalt cliffs, and breathtaking views of Mount Hood. A private wooden bridge over Mill Creek leads to the property's vineyard, outbuildings, and six acres of irrigated hay meadows.
Listing agents Philip Mascher, Tina Jacobsen, and Laura Piccard describe the estate as a "secluded sanctuary" where nature, history, and refined family living converge. The property includes a main house with 2,544 square feet of living space, built in 1926 and remodeled in 2008, as well as a separate guest house surrounded by ponderosa pines.
The estate's vineyard has a rich history, dating back to around 1900 when stonemason Luigi "Louis" Comini helped plant the original zinfandel vines. Viticulturist Lonnie Wright revived the neglected vines in 1982 and later planted new zinfandel blocks, adding merlot and syrah to the vineyard. The property's wine label, The Pines 1852, was launched in 2001.
The estate appeals to a variety of buyers, including boutique winemakers, entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, nature lovers, and equestrians. Whether it's a lifestyle estate, working farm, or rural retreat, the Pines Estate invites a new chapter for someone ready to live purposefully and in harmony with nature.
