History
The story of the Monroe Ranch began in 1860, when James Monroe of Massachusetts settled in the Suisun Valley. Rich soil, dependable water supplies, and bright sunshine combined to create a superb location for farming. The great demand for labor resulted in up to 1,000 Chinese agricultural laborers living near the property towards the end of the 19th century. George Washington?s Mount Vernon estate was the inspiration for the construction of a eight-bedroom house in 2004. After Gary Bacon and Ying Ni purchased the property, they repurposed the home as an intimate gathering place for guests.
