Description:
Lytton Manor Vineyard is a private 20.05-acre estate just 10 minutes from Healdsburg’s renowned plaza. Set across two parcels, it features a bespoke 2,637 sq. ft. ranch-style home perched on a hill, complete with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an attached garage, and a whimsical tower. The residence is embraced by 12.2 acres of premium Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in 2019. Panoramic vineyard views pour through sweeping bay windows in the living room, while the spacious dining room and large kitchen with generous storage invite effortless entertaining. The master suite flows into the tower, both overlooking the vines, and a cozy basement awaits conversion into a wine cellar. Beyond the home, two productive wells, an acre-foot irrigation pond, a free-standing barn, and a custom-built diesel generator ensure self-sufficiency. The all-electric house is approached by a charming driveway winding past apple, fig, and olive trees, with a separate drive for vineyard access.

Nestled in Sonoma County’s famous Dry Creek Valley—its oldest recognized wine-growing region—Lytton Manor is uniquely framed by the legendary vineyards of Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs. Lytton Manor Vineyard was founded in 1988 by Lee and Norma Chandler. Lee was a prominent figure in the wine industry, as general manager of Souvrain in the 1980s and as an entrepreneur establishing Lytton Manor Vineyard and the custom crush facility Vinwood Cellars. He helped found the Healdsburg chapter of Community Foundation, and he and Norma served the community as board members and members of local charities and institutions.

Since 2020, Jennifer and Paul Tincknell have been the owners of the small, commercial, Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard located in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Jennifer and Paul are the owners of Tincknell & Tincknell, Wine Sales and Marketing Consultants, established in 1997. Their firm provides strategies, consultation, and assistance in wine sales, wine marketing, branding, and technology to wineries and wine-related businesses. They have been active custodians of the estate, working in the vineyard alongside the vineyard management firm and maintaining the gardens and grounds surrounding the home.
