A
rare opportunity has arisen for vintners and oenophiles to own their own winery in New Jersey. The 185-acre property at 27058 Mount Pleasant Road in Columbus, reminiscent of Napa Valley or Tuscany's picturesque vineyards, boasts a full operational winemaking facility in Burlington County. Listed for $6.5 million by Aryana Oveissi of Christie's International Real Estate Group, this estate offers an unparalleled chance to turn one's passion into reality.

    With a federal winery license and 165 tillable acres, the property features a thriving 10.5-acre vineyard producing 12 grape varieties, a 5,000-square-foot tasting room, and several functional outbuildings, including a butcher shop and office. The existing farm operations generate income through rentals of 150 tillable acres and three farm buildings for $42,175 annually.

    The property's history is as fascinating as its potential. Last purchased in 2015 for $1.35 million, the vineyard was created by a father-son duo who spent years transforming farmland into a working winery. They even hired a winemaker from Napa Valley to help develop their brand, 27 Winery and Vineyard.

    The next owner will inherit the existing wine inventory and can choose to launch this established brand or create their own. The winemaker is willing to stay on and assist with the vineyard's operations. Additionally, the property includes an 11,000-square-foot residential manor dating back to 1780, which can be used as a private residence, converted into a bed-and-breakfast, or repurposed as a venue for wedding parties.

    With its potential for subdivision and numerous possibilities for development, this estate offers an unparalleled opportunity for the next owner. As Oveissi notes, "You need a dollar and a dream, and then you can run with it."
