Black Oak Ridge Ranch is 320 acres of wild woodlands and meadows nestled in the hills and Black Oaks above Boonville, California in the Anderson Valley.  Reaching 1800ft at its peak and falling off to 800ft where Indian Creek runs through the property year round, the ranch’s undulating hills, plentiful water, exceptional soils and spectacular views, make it a rich playground for a remote country retreat and winery.
