PET TIP: I need to fi nd a home for a spayed female feral cat. She is a tortie and liv-
ing in a terrible location. She would have to be kept in somewhere for approximately
1 month to ensure she stays and must be fed and looked after. Please call if you have
a barn and a heart for a cat you can’t pat.
This remarkable 16.77 fenced acres offers the investor a wide range of possibilities from the Award winning wines to the gourmet restaurant. The commercial building for the restaurant and the winery was completed in 2006 so it is extremely well built and has all the permits and permissions in place. The existing home is a 2600 sq.ft. split level home with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, wine cellar and has a heat pump. There are 6 organically farmed acres of vineyard with up to 13 acres of plantable space for your expansion ideas and a fabulous well to meet your needs.
