Billionaire superlawyer David Boies, who has represented Al Gore, Harvey Weinstein, and some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims, has listed his California ranch for $23 million.

Diamond B, as the property is known, contains five houses and extensive vineyards.

Located off the major wine corridor Highway 29 in the Lower Lake area, and two hours from San Francisco, the ranch spans about 1,183 acres and includes four lakes and a pool.

"It offers the ability to create an entirely off-the-grid, organic ecosystem employing the closed system biodynamic philosophy, and a rare opportunity to live safely and independently away from it all," estate agent Red Oak Realty said in the listing.

The owners can "easily" operate the ranch, vineyard, and equestrian facilities commercially, it added, and there are potential locations to add a helicopter landing pad.

Boies is one of this generation's best known lawyers. He represented Al Gore in the 2000 Bush v. Gore case, led the federal government's antitrust case against Microsoft, and has fought for same-sex marriage rights. But he's also represented some controversial clients, including Harvey Weinstein.

An investigation this year by Insider spoke to more than 50 people about a massive shakeup at his elite law firm Boies Schiller that saw more than 30 members of staff leave the company.

Their investigation uncovered pay rifts, a partner divide, and a threat at the Ritz Carlton.

As well as horses, there's plenty of space for cattle. The ranch currently has more than 30 Highland cattle.
