In addition to its primary entrance through the
Job’s Peak Ranch Development security gates and traveling west
on Five Creek Road, Buffalo Creek Ranch can be accessed through it
Jones Lane entrance, directly off Foothill Road, although these gates
are generally closed, except to construction workers and delivery
trucks. The Horse Pasture is to the left or south of this entrance
and the Vineyard, which is out of sight of this shot, is to the right
or at the north end of the property.

Lane, just off the shoulder of the road looking at the “The
Vineyards and Orchards of Buffalo Creek” sign, with the towering

view looking due west toward the Kingsbury Grade and Heavenly
Valley North Ski Resort. The Jones Lane gates are open and the
proposed Vineyard is to the right. The entrance is framed with
two 8 foot tall Sequoia Redwood trees. |
After passing through the Jones Lane entrance gates,
Buffalo Creek Road curves toward the south a follows the Horse Pasture,
which is bordered with a 3-rail horse fence and a 24” high dry
stacked rock wall. The Aristocratic Flowering Pear trees are just beginning
to turn into their fall colors.

The east entrance gates continue the wine barrel theme. If you look
closely you can see the water spraying from the Rainbird 65’s,
which are irrigating the horse pasture. A large grape crushing vat
is pictured in the center of the photo shortly after entering the gates. |

The east entrance gate sign and surrounding fence are both made from
2” x 8” T&G cedar planks, held together by 3” metal
straps and bolted to 6” x 6” redwood posts. In addition
to identifying the property name and address, the sign contains a 24” x
36” rendering of the completed Buffalo Creek Ranch. |
