Villa Nove is a rare turnkey wine country estate and agritourism opportunity spanning approximately 34 acres, anchored by a stunning 5,218-square-foot Italian Tuscan villa, an established vineyard, and a fully equipped event and wine production operation. Blending residential luxury with commercial capability, the property is ideally suited for a winery owner, hospitality entrepreneur, investor, or buyer seeking an extraordinary live-work destination.
At the heart of the estate, the elegant 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath Tuscan villa offers timeless character and spacious living, complete with a wine cellar and billiards room, a 357-square-foot outdoor terrazza, and an oversized 878-square-foot two-car garage. The estate also includes a renovated 1,388-square-foot original farmhouse with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, providing additional guest, staff, or rental accommodations.
Purpose-built for entertaining and business operations, the renovated 4,544-square-foot tasting room features two climate-controlled dining rooms, each with tasting bars, along with three bathrooms, wine refrigeration, wine storage, and a refinished outdoor patio outfitted with umbrellas, gas heaters, tables, and chairs. The venue is fully equipped to host weddings and events, with seating and furnishings for up to 90 guests. A newly outfitted tasting room kitchen includes ovens, prep stations, refrigeration, and additional equipment needed to support food and beverage service.
Wine production infrastructure is equally impressive, highlighted by a newly constructed 4,031-square-foot heated and cooled production and storage barn with laboratory and bathroom. A separate 1,760-square-foot office building includes three offices, a conference room, and retail space, while a 2,633-square-foot utility barn provides ample room for tools, equipment, and tractor storage.
The agricultural component is well established, with 8 acres of 14-year-old mature, healthy vineyards producing 10 grape varietals harvested annually. Two small ponds with fountains and an irrigation well support the grounds, while a newly installed perimeter fence with high-end materials secures both the farm perimeter and agritourism pasture. A new 16′ x 20′ pasture barn, scheduled for completion in March 2026, adds further utility. Also included is a 0.75-acre greenhouse lot on Dry Hill Road, located across from the utility barn and included within the 34+/- total acres.
This offering includes an extensive collection of machinery and operational assets essential to continued success, including a 60 HP Kubota tractor with sprayer, Kubota UTV with dump bed, Ford Ranger 4×4 pickup, forklift, and additional equipment. All winemaking and vineyard tools necessary for operation convey, along with intellectual property and business assets such as the website, social media accounts, licenses, and a substantial customer database. Also included are all wedding and event tables, chairs, linens, and arbor, making this an exceptional turnkey opportunity with multiple income streams already in place.
