Description

Turnkey Virginia Winery & Vineyard Estate - ±45.18 Acres 495 Meadow Landing Lane · Caret, Essex County, VA 22436 Selling at Online and Onsite Auction - Opens at $500,000 Vineyards sell two ways: as a dream somebody still has to build, or as a business somebody already built. This is the second kind. Nearly two decades of work is already in the ground - the well, the septic, the vines, the trellis, the deer fence, the buildings, the crush pad, the equipment, the brand. Every slow, expensive, permit-dependent step has been taken and paid for by someone else. What's left is the part you actually want to do: make wine, pour it, and fill the room. HOW IT WAS BUILT 2007 - Well permitted · original vinifera blocks planted · 864 SF equipment building 2014 - On-site septic permitted for a 4-bedroom house 2015 - Winery production and tasting building constructed 2017 - 1-acre Chambourcin block planted 2019 - Tasting room addition completed THE LAND - ±45.18 ACRES Level, open, agriculturally zoned, and producing. Five vineyard blocks: the original 2007 vinifera planting (historic soil sampling references Sangiovese, Viognier, Merlot, and Chardonnay) plus a 1-acre Chambourcin block from 2017 in production. Trellis in good condition, ±2,500 LF of deer fencing, drip irrigation conveys. ±17 more plantable acres at the center of the property on comparable soils. Wooded rear section with timber.

Second level (1,008 SF) - finished event space with full bath, opening onto a deck over the vineyard. Weddings and public tastings can run at the same time on separate floors - two revenue streams, one building.
