Late ‘Jeopardy!’ Host Alex Trebek’s Former California Property Is Selling for $7 Million: PHOTOS

A California property that used to be owned by the late “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek is selling for a little under $7 million. For that price, the potential new buyers will get to enjoy a working ranch, a vineyard, a winery and more.

First hitting the market last June for $8.88 million, that amount was later adjusted to $7.88 million before finding its current price.

The property includes more than 577 acres and boasts “archery and skeet shooting ranges, a historic barn converted into an event space, and open space for horseback riding, ATV riding and hiking,” according to Mansion Global.

Co-listing agent Mike Goldfarb of Coldwell Banker Realty, told Mansion Global, “It’s like adult summer camp.”

Sunset also notes that “the 11-bedroom, 13-bedroom sprawling ranch estate [was] built in 1900. The unique property boasts five houses and a private honeymoon suite, a working winery, barns, stables, and pastures and livestock pens for cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs. History buffs will also appreciate relics such as the original Highway 58 bridge and a blacksmith shop.”

“A truly unique legacy estate, 535 Calf Canyon Hwy blends family retreat with working ranch, vineyard, and winery,” listing agent Lindsey Harn, owner of Lindsey Harn group, told Sunset. “Surrounded by the mountains, lakes, wildlife, and open space, the property feels timeless, yet connected—offering room for 30-plus guests and generations to come.”

Trebek Helped Get the Winery Out of Bankruptcy

While the property’s Creston Manor was established in the early 1980s, the founding couple eventually divorced. However, to avoid having to sell it, they brought in investors, which included Trebek. This move helped the winery emerge from bankruptcy. Sunset notes that Trebek then went on to buy out other partners.

In 2001, the current owners — Barry and Donna Goldfarb, the parents of the co-listing agent — bought the property for $1.6 million, according to Wine Spectator.

Trebek’s former property can be found in Creston, which is around 30 minutes from San Luis Obispo in the Central Coast area. It’s also around three-and-a-half-hours from both Los Angeles and San Francisco, which makes it a desirable location.

“Over the last 10, 20 years, the Central Coast has really carved out its own niche as being a premier destination for wine enthusiasts,” Goldfarb told Mansion Global. “It used to be that you had to go up to Napa or Sonoma to drink fine wines, but there are so many great vineyards and wineries in the Central Coast area.”
