An exceptional opportunity to acquire an established boutique winery and historic residence on 12.75 acres in Nanaimo. The fully fenced property borders the Millstone River and sits just 10 minutes from the Departure Bay ferry and minutes from all Nanaimo amenities. Six acres of mature, irrigated vines grow Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Ortega, and Gewurztraminer. The 5,400 sq ft post-and-beam building welcomes guests with a tasting bar, lounge and event space, plus a full production area. Outside, the patio and picnic area set among the vines create a natural gathering place for tastings, and events. A partially built wood-fired pizza kitchen offers the chance to finish it and add a food experience for guests. The 2,500 sq ft home, one of Nanaimo's early homes, was moved to the property and restored in 2004. It features 12-ft ceilings, a primary with ensuite, a wraparound veranda over the vines, and a walk-out 2-bed,1-bath suite below. The home needs some finishing work, offering a great opportunity to complete it to your own taste. You'll also find a large pond, greenhouse, cellar and a separate outdoor washroom facility near the home. A second civic address with right-of-way access from Holland Road adds flexibility, and the property offers several potential building sites, including room for a second home (buyer to verify). Continue the winery, launch your own wine or cider brand, or reimagine the land as an orchard, flower farm, hobby farm or event venue. Production equipment, inventory, business assets and license transfers are available through a separate agreement, apart from the property sale.
