In the afternoon, when Chen Mo was about to go out to pay a visit to the mayor of San Beni, Bai Xiaoou made a video call...

In the video, blue sky, white clouds, sea, and white sand appeared, and then Bai Xiaoou's head appeared: "Hi~!"

"Is this Tahiti? It's so beautiful..."

"It's okay, it's on Barabara Island (Bora Bora Island). I've found a manor for you here, with an area of ​​390 acres. Are you interested in learning about it?" Bai Xiaoou smiled. On the phone, Jennifer in a bikini He popped his head out, waved his hand and said hello: "That's a super beautiful manor."

"390 acres is too big. I don't need such a large land..." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Listen to me first. The manor is on the east side of Hennessy Lake, 390 acres, with a small independent reservoir. The area of ​​the vineyard is less than 60 acres, and the rest is pasture. You can log on to the website to have a look. The owner of the winery is a Canadian architect. I have an ultra-modern geometric house, and the other party’s quotation is US$9500 million. The important thing is that the vineyards are all in the Atlas AVA production area, and most of the pasture land is within the scope of the production area. For the quotation of US$9500 million, you If you're interested, I'll find someone to get in touch with, and 9000 million yuan should be able to make a deal."

"It's too expensive." Chen Mo only had 800 million in cash.

"It's not expensive at all. The TBL Chef Academy will be built in Hennessy Lake in the north of Atlas." Bai Xiaoou continued: "The pasture land can be used to grow grapes. And it's 390 acres of land, the entire Napa, it's hard to buy now It’s such a large piece of land. I bought it and planted it with grapes. If you don’t want to run a large winery, you can sell it in pieces.”

"Send me the link to the website."

After hanging up the phone, I received a link to the website after a while, not a link to a land transaction website, but a twitter link called Coles.The above is the sale information of his manor, the name is Coles Manor, and there is a detailed introduction of the manor...

This is a manor that has been built for only two years.The design of the entire manor was designed by the designer. The modern style architecture, combined with the tropical landscape, is a super luxury house.

TBL Chef Academy is located in the northern part of Alaska, about 4 kilometers away from the manor, separated by a reservoir, and separated by a forest park by road, about 7 kilometers away.

9500 million US dollars, the price is still a bit high.

The 60 acres of vineyards are not in the legal area, but there are several worship wineries in this area, and there are also several well-known wineries.It is a 12-year-old vineyard. According to the market price, the value of a 60-acre vineyard is between 1000 million and 1500 million.The pasture land is actually not very valuable...but if all the grapes are planted, regardless of the future appreciation of the land, the starting price will be at least US$7 per acre after three years.

In Napa County, there is not much land that can be developed.In another 10 years at most, all agricultural land should be completely developed.

9500 million US dollars is not a small sum, so Chen Mo called and chatted with Bai Xiaoou, and then set off for Napa.

This business is profitable, and the risk is not big, but the backlog of capital is too large, and even if it makes profits in the future, it will not be too high.

The land that Coles acquired three years ago is worth 400 million.Construction of manor roads, greening, construction, and other expenses... The manor was valued at 5500 million US dollars by the tax bureau. In fact, the total cost of construction up to now should be more than 6000 million.Coles is no longer able to continue the construction of the manor...

It was sold for US$9500 million, and there are really not many people who have the conditions and are willing to take over.

If such an ultra-luxury building is in other places, it will often be sold for a few years after being listed, and the price will even be sold at a price that is reduced by about double.

But this is Napa, where every inch is precious.Unless it is a forest that is not allowed to be developed, as long as it is agricultural land, it is valuable, and it is not afraid that it will not be sold.

390 acres of land, at least 330 acres of land that can be planted with grapes.

Although the Hennessy Lake planting area is not in the AOC, the land here is good and suitable for planting Cabernet Sauvignon. The average transaction price of mature vineyards is around US$25.

Speaking of this place, Yao's Winery has a high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard here, but it is close to the Howell Mountain production area...

Chen Mo met the real estate agent in the past, and then went directly to Coles Manor.

Coles doesn't live in the manor. He lives in the Coles Winery in the Stag's Leap District. Knowing that a buyer is coming, he hurried back...

The manor house is built on a hill with a wide view of the mountains of Napa Valley and East Valley.Ultra-modern villa architecture, palm trees and other plants are planted in the villa yard.

The villa covers an area of ​​880 square meters, with a large living room, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, entertainment room, home theater, etc. The luxury house has everything you need.There is a circular infinity swimming pool of almost [-] square meters in the outdoor backyard. On the other side of the swimming pool is a steep mountain wall with a drop of four or five meters. From the swimming pool, you can see the bare rocky mountains in the distance...

It is indeed the handwriting of a top designer.

Although this villa is not as big as the one in the river valley ranch, both the scenery and the appearance of the villa are more beautiful.

The roads in the villa are also flat asphalt roads.

Followed to the worker's house, stables, cowsheds, warehouses and so on in the pastoral area.One should be fully equipped...

This estate also has a disadvantage, remoteness.

However, unlike the remoteness of the River Valley Ranch, the manor is only 7.5 kilometers away from St. Helena, and it is only a few minutes' drive away.It feels remote because it is close to the forest park of Lake Hennessy...

But the asking price of 9500 million US dollars is too high.

The price of 7000 million should be appropriate, but the owner of the manor refused to lower the price no matter what.

The matter of bargaining was handed over to the real estate agency, and Chen Mo only gave the agency a psychological price of 7500 million US dollars.If the transaction price is lower than this figure, the intermediary can get an extra commission... He didn't show much interest and left the manor directly.

The location of Coles Manor is not particularly good, nor is it particularly bad.

Chen Mo fell in love with this place, one is that the remote location will not attract much attention.Second, there is enough spare land...

It is remote, but not too remote. If you are willing to spend money to build another road, you will only have 5 roads to St. Helena. This road is not long, less than 1 kilometer, but you have to pass through the forest area.No matter how possible, Chen Mo can build this place into a fully enclosed manor, and he can do whatever he wants in the manor.

At night, in the winery in Napa Valley, Chen Mo entered the space.

In the space, there are dozens of super-large Gerbera fruit trees, and more than a hundred adult trees of 20 years old.A fig tree, the largest fig tree is three or four meters high.Cherry orchard, mysterious orchard, and a small peach orchard, the fruit trees in it are waiting to be transplanted.
