Discover a truly unique 20-acre off-grid property that was once a working winery and is now ready for new owners to love and enjoy it as much as the current owners have. Property was vacant and mostly hay field in 2009. All structures were built or moved in after that. All grapes and apples were planted starting 2009. The property features a 20x40 barn with attached 20x60 winery area. Built and moved in 2010-11. It could easily be converted to a barndominium. Currently has bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and hot and cold running water. Kitchen area with large sinks. Propane hot water and small cook stove. These amenities currently all run off the grid.

It includes sap storage and 2-3 evaporator wood stoves. There are approximately 5300 sq ft total of buildings on the property. Currently water is from hand pumps and a windmill. These are shallow wells with excellent tested and tasting water. However deep water is close, between 80 and 100 feet deep. Windmill is currently connected to pump water to storage in barn. There is also infrastructure to fill three water storage tanks located throughout the gardening areas. One tank has a unique lookout tower on top that was once a milk cooling house using water from a windmill. The property's renewable-energy setup includes two solar panels with a 12-volt battery bank and controller, a wind generator and tower. A large pond dug in 2017 with a wind-powered aerator adds to the property's charm and functionality. It is up to 15 feet deep and has supported sunfish growth in the past. Pond is currently at an all-time low, but still has 10 feet of water at the end of dock. All of the surrounding area is currently at a low water table cycle. There is a concrete beach-boat launch beside the dock. The current owners have never used herbicides or pesticides in close to 20 years. The land currently offers 10 varieties of grapes, 20 plus apple trees, raspberries, rhubarb, horseradish, wild plumbs and a host of other wild berries and plants.
