A 58-acre private spread just outside Gilroy that mashes up a working vineyard, full equestrian operation and an event-ready barn has hit the market for $10.5 million. Nicknamed Shangri-La-Dee-Da, the estate packs in two homes, multiple arenas, ponds and miles of wide trails that the current owners have used for weddings, Airbnb guests and private retreats. The pitch to buyers is basically "horses, grapes and venue income" in one turnkey package, with country seclusion still within striking distance of Silicon Valley.
As reported by The Sacramento Bee, the estate is being marketed by Christine and Steve Perry of Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno, and Christine Perry described the place as "so beautiful, just like a fairytale." The Bee also notes that owner Barbie Liebeck has run parts of the property as an events business while continuing other agricultural work and animal rescue efforts on the land.
What’s on the land
The MLS listing outlines roughly 58 fenced acres, including about 14 acres of organic grapes planted to Merlot, Syrah and Barbera, two year-round ponds, two wells and solar-powered irrigation serving the vineyard. The equestrian buildout is extensive: two engineered arenas (one covered), two working barns with 10 stalls between them, an 86-by-200-foot covered steel arena, a 70-foot round pen and an 85-foot euro-walker, along with roughly 30 acres of 20-foot-wide trails for riding and hiking. Those details track with the specifications in the property listing on Redfin and related MLS mirrors.
Homes, horses and events
The compound’s residential setup includes a roughly 4,222-square-foot main house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a finished basement, plus a separate 2,300-square-foot guest house that adds three more bedrooms and three bathrooms. A converted 1800s barn, branded as the "Winery" in marketing materials, now serves as an atmospheric event space, and the grounds have hosted weddings and retreats in recent years, according to reporting by SFGATE. The current owners have also kept a large collection of animals on the property as part of their long-running stewardship of the land.
Price and history
The $10.5 million asking price appears on the public MLS feed and major listing portals, with the property first showing up in mid-February. Public sale history indicates the Liebeck family purchased the estate in 2006 for about $3.3 million, and the parcel has popped up in luxury searches and prior listings several times since, according to historic price records on Zillow. That trajectory highlights just how dramatically pricing for large Bay Area parcels can swing over a couple of decades.
Why the listing matters
By Gilroy standards, this is a one-of-one kind of offering. Mainstream data services show median list prices in the city sitting in the low-to-mid seven figures, which makes a property at this price point a clear outlier. As The Sacramento Bee points out, the mix of agricultural production, turnkey equestrian facilities and an existing events footprint gives a future owner several ways to use or monetize the land. That combination of privacy, a working vineyard and established event infrastructure is likely to narrow the buyer pool to someone chasing a full-blown lifestyle compound rather than a conventional suburban home.
