The vineyard is trained to a single wire trellis ranging from 5 to 6 feet from the ground. Drip irrigation is provided through a system of lines and block mains. The grape varieties are predominately Merlot, but also include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Malbec, and two varieties of Muscat/Chenin (Blanc & Alexandria). Twenty-nine acres are under trellis with drip irrigation. Approximately twenty-five of those aces are planted and fifteen of those acres are currently producing. The vineyard has produced 78 tons of grapes in a year which equates to over 4,600 cases of wine.
The winery is in a 1,440 sq ft building that also includes the tasting room and small gift shop. The building is insulated and has central heat and air. The bar area has a dishwasher and sink with sanitary drain. The building also houses an insulated barrel room. The attached crush pad doubles as a patio. All of the equipment to bottle the wine is also in this building.
There are two other out buildings. One of the buildings is a 1,440 sq ft building that is used for an equipment barn and shop. This building has a bathroom with shower and a refrigerator. Also included are a welder, grinder, drill press, air compressor, storage cabinets, and tools. The other building is 1,800 sq ft and is used for implement and material storage.
The comfortable 1,600 sq ft residence is located within 100 yards of the winery. Huge beautiful oak trees surround the three bedroom and two bath brick home. The kitchen, living, and dining area are an open concept that has a beautiful brick wood burning fireplace in one corner. The bedrooms are spacious and have good size closets. Both bathrooms are full size. The home has central heat and air. Water for the home currently comes from a rural water system, but well water is also available. There is also a laundry room and additional storage. The roof and dishwasher have been replaced recently.
Since the property is just over 95 acres, there is plenty of room to expand the vineyard or have it for other uses. About half of the acreage is cross fenced. This part has great potential to be used for hay production or other crops. It could also be used to raise cattle or horses. The vineyard can also be used during the dormant months for grazing. The side that is fenced off from the vineyard has a huge surface water tank/pond that is about the size of a football field. While this tank/pond has never been dry, it is plumbed so that water can be added to it from a well, or water can be pumped from it to irrigate with. There are five water wells on the property and one additional surface water tank/pond. To add to the irrigation capacity, two 2500 gallon above ground water storage tanks with flow controls for wells and irrigation pump have been added.
For recreation, the property is just 45 minutes from Lake Brownwood, a 6,490 surface area lake. Lake Brownwood will accommodate all of your fishing and water sport activities. Also if you like to hunt or if you just like to watch, wildlife is plentiful in the area. Deer, turkey, and dove are all plentiful on or near the property.
The vineyard and winery is conveniently located just one hour from Abilene, two hours from Fort Worth, and three hours from Austin. The property has so much potential to make even more money from the property to go along with the grape and wine business. This beautiful property is priced to sell at $629,000.
