The Robinson Corner Vineyard offers a very profitable business opportunity with an excellent trout fishery. The views are amazing and the privacy is second to none. This is a great opportunity to invest in one of the most premium vineyards around.
The Robinson Corner Vineyard lies in a secluded setting with 143.07 total acres (per county assessor). Of the 143 +- acres there are approximately 74.76 acres of established vineyard planted to Pinot Noir. The property offers phenomenal trout fishing with several fishing holes located on the property.
There are two homes located on the property currently housing vineyard employees. Three general purpose storage buildings and one barn are located on the property as well proving to be very useful for farming operations.
The vineyard consists of 74.76 +- acres of Pinot Noir planted in 2015. In 2023 the production was at 573.7 tons averaging an impressive 7.67 tons/acre! This can’t be done with a poorly developed vineyard. The irrigation water comes from two senior certificates sourced from Sucker Creek and allow for a full rate of delivery. The water rights allow for an ample 351 acre-feet of water to be diverted. Cool air drains into this Illinois Valley location at night cooling the area while hot days provide heat units for ripening fruit. The climate is similar to a Mediterranean climate with the exception of fog as it is very rare. This all comes together to make the subject property such an amazing site that gets such amazing results.
The business opportunity this vineyard offers is tremendous as the seller is offering three opportunities to the future owner. They are 1) the buyer to take over operations of the vineyard at close of escrow or 2) purchase of the property comes with contracts for the grapes and/or professional management from the seller or 3) seller to lease back the vineyard from the buyer with a cash lease. The leaseback option would be the lowest risk to you as the buyer and require far less capital and skillset needed for operations than directly operating yourself. You can enjoy your vineyard with as much headache as you want!
The beauty, privacy, and sporting opportunities that this property offers alone is hard to find. The business opportunity the vineyard offers makes it one of a kind. It would take a very significant amount of time and capital to establish a vineyard like this on any other property with no guarantee that it would even produce. Don’t let this opportunity pass by.
