About this property
Wine tasting from this eco-friendly home with stunning views.
Beautiful solar powered home for couples who enjoy wine tasting and hosting friends. Yelp shows there are 40 wineries, tasting rooms or vinyard within a ten mile radius of this property. Enjoy a 360 degree stunning view which includes Rattlesnake Mountain, the orchards and vineyards of Benton City, WA, plus the orchards and vineyards of Red Mountain. Interesting wine note: Red Mountain has it's own AVA. Entertain friends on the patio while relaxing in comfortable outdoor chairs. Soak in the beautiful sunsets. Enjoy cooking in a well-stocked kitchen with large spice collection or outside on the BBQ. Kitchen has a conventional oven and stove top as well as a microwave and air-fryer.
Listen to the soothing sound from small pond near the window. Take a stroll and enjoy the desert style landscape viewing sage brush and native plants. Sip your favorite Washington wine on the patio with fantastic view or in front of the wood stove on a cold winter night. Hot tub near the patio is available for guests to relax and enjoy the view.
This is a beautiful home to visit any time of the year. Flat screen TV's in every bedroom and living room. The installed solar system will generate more power than you will consume during your stay.
Free electric vehicle charging in the garage and 50A, 30A x 240VAC RV box outside for your RV needs.

Why they chose this property
After 39 years of teaching, Jim discovered the new construction home on his way to a meeting in Prosser, WA. Jim fell in love with the property at the first viewing, and bought the house just before spring break in his final year of his award winning career. The summer of 2015 was spent landscaping and development of the house for hosting guests. Jim plans to travel when the house is booked.
