Property Details

Description

One of a kind property with the most incredible views over West Grand Traverse Bay offers many possibilities. Currently the home to Willow Winery & Vineyard – the 5th oldest working vineyard & winery on the Leelanau Peninsula, named the #2 wine region by USA today (next to Napa). This well-established, turn-key property includes a French Provencal villa designed to capture the up close water and vineyard views. The 11.45 acre site makes it the most approachable & manageable for the novice wine maker, the experienced or for existing wineries to add this magnificent site to their assets with a tasting room and residence. The villa features classic board-and-batten siding, a cedar shake roof, fireplace and imported cathedral doors from France that open into the primary suite. The impressive stone landscaping has a timeless, century-old character that blends perfectly into the rolling vineyard backdrop. The lower level of the villa is fully outfitted for winery production. A separate winery tasting room, built in the same architectural style, includes a indoor and outdoor guest seating, a bar area, retail space, 1/2 bath and storage above. A two-level equipment barn offers ample space for storage. Currently, the villa operates as a successful Airbnb rental, providing an additional revenue stream. Options to use as a private residence, continued short-term rental or full-time winery operation, Willow offers flexibility, history and unmatched charm in the heart of Leelanau Wine Country.
