FARM WITH UN-REALIZED POTENTIAL

This 11-hectare (28 acre) farm with home
has nearly 15 acres in grapes and 5 acres
of plums under netting. Grape varieties
include bonarda, torontes riojano, malbec
and cabernet franc. Most are under netting.
The plums are DAgen plums for drying.

The 1720-square foot house also has a large
outdoor patio area under roof and three
bedrooms, one bath. There are two other
barn/utility buildings in very good shape.
One is 516 square feet and the other is
688 square feet.

WINE-MAKING

The farm has made wine as recently as 2019,
but ceased doing so during the pandemic.
the capacity is 5,000 liters, which is about
6,500 bottles. This can be increased with
additional tanks.

The winery has a full winery license -- not
a home-made licence -- which means the wine
can be labeled by variety (not just as red or
white, like with a homemade wine license) and
sold domestically or exported. Domestic sales
would likely be a better model in this case.

The sale includes the proprietary Rausch
registed wine labels, which eliminates a lot
of cost and paperwork and time. Additional
equipment may be necessary to lease or
to continue with the operation. The new owners
would need to contract a local enologist to
oversee the operation on a part-time or
as-needed basis.

IMPROVING VALUE

In the last photos below at the bottom you
can see that weeds need to be cut, some junk
removed, and a basic clean-up done. This
impacts the beauty of the property, and
therefore the value.

This can easily be corrected, and the property
turned into a lovely gem with about two weeks
of work.

Doing cleanup, painting, etc., would improve
the value conservatively by at least US$20
to $30K or more at very little cost.
