This woman is rich enough to own a vineyard in California wine country. We are in deep, deep trouble.

Lisa Chu longed to live in an authentic, 18th-century New England house. But she didn't want to leave Northern California, where she grows Cabernet grapes for a living. The solution: Instead of moving to a New England house, Ms. Chu had a New England house moved to her.

The 1,064-square-foot, kitchen-less house, a wood-framed "saltbox" originally built in 1737 in Shrewsbury, Mass., was meticulously disassembled and shipped across the country on three trailers to her vineyard. There, it was reconstructed, restored and placed next to her main home. Still not completely finished, the project has taken 13 years and cost more than $1 million.

"It makes me feel like I'm back in New England," says Ms. Chu, who grew up in New Jersey. She filled the transplanted house with period furniture and surrounded it with a rose garden outside.
