Few agents know both vineyard and the Sutherlin market from lived experience. Kimmy does.

What does that mean on the ground in Sutherlin? Strong mix here: newer subdivisions in town, 5–20 acre homesteads in the Fair Oaks and Nonpareil areas, and serious ranch and timber ground toward Elkton. Cooper Creek area properties with water views move fast.
Kimmy pairs that community knowledge with deep vineyard expertise. The Umpqua Valley AVA is one of Oregon's oldest and most underrated wine regions — home to pioneering plantings, the Elkton AVA's cool-climate Pinot, and hillsides that grow everything from Tempranillo to Riesling. Kimmy helps buyers find plantable ground and established vineyard estates across the valley.
Sutherlin grew up on timber and has reinvented itself as one of the county's fastest-growing communities — anchored by Ford's Pond, Cooper Creek Reservoir, and easy I-5 access. The surrounding hills hide vineyards, oak-studded ranches, and big timbered parcels.

Yes — it's one of Oregon's oldest AVAs, with the state's first post-Prohibition vinifera plantings, and its warm valleys ripen varieties the Willamette can't. The Elkton sub-AVA produces standout cool-climate Pinot Noir and Riesling.
Plan on roughly $15,000–$30,000+ per acre to establish vines (site prep, plants, trellis, irrigation) before your first real crop in year three or four. Kimmy helps buyers find ground where the site quality justifies the investment.
Oregon land-use law gives wineries meaningful allowances on farm-zoned land, but specifics depend on production and county rules. Kimmy coordinates with Douglas County Planning to confirm what a given property can host.
Whether you're buying your first five acres or selling the ranch that raised you — call, text, or email. Kimmy answers.
