Adjacent vineyard — the big context
3545 Bloomfield Rd — 5 Wells Vineyard (Wells / Kwon family, immediate NE neighbor):
| Owners | Wells Crawford Maclain & Jane Selina Kwon |
| Operating entity | 5 Wells Family Vineyards LLC (formed 2015) |
| Acreage | 72 ac |
| Vineyard | 32 ac planted Pinot Noir / Chardonnay |
| Residence | 3,759 sf 2008-built modern estate home |
| Current listing | $6,500,000 — active, listed 2025-12-18, 143+ DOM as of May 2026 |
| Previously circulated | $10,500,000 (Crexi / Cru Land — likely earlier listing or off-market ask) |
| Price cut | ~38% reduction |
| MLS # | 325103677 |
| Listing agent | David Carciere, Cru Land Company / Engel & Völkers St. Helena |
| Website | https://www.5wellsvineyardestate.com/ |
Why this matters for 3845:
- The adjacency confirms the soils-and-microclimate of this stretch support premium Pinot Noir / Chardonnay (the Sebastopol Hills sub-AVA).
- The 38% price reduction signals softening high-end vineyard demand into 2026 — Sebastopol’s $200K+/ac premium is being tested.
- If 5 Wells trades closer to $5M than $6.5M, the implied per-ac comp drops to ~$70K/ac. That sets a ceiling on what a vineyard-development premium can layer onto raw land at 3845.
- Wells / Kwon listing implies the family is exiting — which could be tactically relevant for a buyer trying to assemble multiple Bloomfield Rd parcels.

Working valuation
| Track | Assumption | Math | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — Raw ag land | $35–50K/ac × 51.15 ac | — | $1.78M–$2.56M |
| B — Vineyard-development potential | $50–80K/ac × 51.15 ac | — | $2.56M–$4.09M |
Net adjustments:
- (−) LEA B6 160: no new primary dwelling permitted on sub-160-ac parcel; 1925 legal nonconforming dwelling may be maintained/replaced. Dominant value cap.
- (−) 5 Wells 38% list-price cut → softening high-end segment.
- (−) Engineered moto track is amenity for MX buyer, $150K–$400K remediation for non-MX.
- (+) Adjacent to a known vineyard (validates soils for Pinot).
- (+) Twin Hills/West Sonoma school district premium.
- (+) Scarcity of mid-size Bloomfield Rd parcels.
Off-market as-is range: $2.0M–$3.2M Most likely clearing price: ~$2.4M–$2.8M ($47K–$55K/ac)
