Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Movin' on...The Crow and Bear is For Sale

Not likely but it would be fun.

Not looking to get more than a million out of this place. We are not selling to make money we are looking to save our lives.

Damn I wish we had retired ten years ago. We could give this place away and not be hurt.

No reason you shouldn't make some money on it. You took a significant risk, put a lot of work into it, and created something of value. I do understand your priorities. You got to get out of it alive first, and if it happens to fund a few extra higher quality hunts, well, you earned them.

Break even or lose a few, doesn't matter. We want out.

Our manager this morning should have been here at 0700. Finally after four emails and two phone calls (mail box full) he shows up at 1400. Then it's, "Too hot to work".

I have an fully enclosed airconditioned tractor for him to drive.

Yeah, I know some jerks here will say, "Drive it yourself".

Your manager has short-timers syndrome and knows you ain't getting rid of him while its being sold.

Glad you got a bid and can look forward to relaxing.

Regardless, he'd be the former manager after that.

No. He is trying to use a little sarcasm to cover his trail.

When I called him on his condescension, he resorts to name calling and calls me IGNORANT. I asked for him to show me where I earned that moniker. No response to that, just more bragging.

Guy comes on here posting that he has his place for sale and asks rhetorically, anyone here interested? I will give you a discount. He knows damn good and well that a property is not going to sell on the HC.

He asks for a real estate professional's input when he already has a realtor repping for him.

He comes on here to brag about how much his property is worth. And he can't help himself to attack others by intimating they aren't his equal because he has more money. Kind of like that a$$hole doctor from UT.

Like I said, seems the guy is not too bad in person as he has made a few friends. But I can't stomach a egomaniacal braggart like this.

A million bucks for the privilege of owning a FARM, with dealing with the general public and tight government regulation thrown in for enticements.....

Where do I sign up?

(Please engage sarcasm font).

Hope you get it sold Spanky. Farming is not a lot more than hard work.....

Now that it is established that Hunter Campfire is in the real estate business, here are some more vineyards for sale...
When it’s time to sell the dream
By Posted on Feb 03 2014 | By John Hagarty
Winery sales often lengthy and complex

There are 259 wineries in Virginia producing 511,000 cases of wine annually. The industry has achieved dramatic success in both growth and reputation since the first tasting room opened in 1975.

Today, the quality and repute of Old Dominion wine is recognized nationally and around the world. Last year, Steven Spurrier, a renowned international wine authority said, “Virginia is a solid competitor in the global wine industry.” Such high praise is a commonly heard refrain.

And yet, there is an anomaly to the sanguine picture of a robust and healthy wine culture: Few wineries are profitable and most are difficult to sell.

Indeed, notwithstanding advances in vineyard plantings and winemaking skills resulting in a commensurate increase in the production of fine wine, it still remains a challenge to actually make money in the business. If a winery isn’t turning a profit, potential buyers can be hard to conjure up.

With many of the state’s winery owners entering their retirement years, it is expected an increase in properties will go up for sale, especially if adult children do not share mom & dad’s dream. But selling even a marginally profitable business is a challenge. Typically, it takes three years or more to find a qualified buyer.

Rick Walden, owner of Virginia Estates, a Charlottesville real estate firm that specializes in selling farms, estates, vineyards and wineries says, “I’m just about the only guy in the state handling winery sales. How many are making money? I’m gonna go for zero.” He bluntly points up the narrow margins earned in a difficult business.

^ Lesson to those considerin a "dopery".

Probably couldn't even have an indoor "tasting room".

Everybody gotta stand outside.

"Dopery"

Hah! That's hilarious. I'm going to have a to use that.

Like I said, jackwagon is the word you're looking for.

So we have found out. We might make a small(very small)profit but even if we take a loss it's not a big deal. At this stage the money is not important.

Lotta people going into the dope business now that it is legal in Oregon.

Nice place! That would run $20 million in Colorado...

I know jacksquat about growing grapes but if you're hiring people to do the work on 8 acres you better have an amazing $$$ per acre profit to even break even.


I'm guessing the actual growing/winery business is brutal for a rookie.


You're getting a really nice house along a few acres in a nice location.

Fixt

Like I said, a nice location.....grin


But for that kind of money too many neighbors.

Not to mention a short view.

limes would be good. 8 acres of limes would be good.

Only been to one winery in my life. bigger than 8 acres for sure.

Help might be pretty cheap in parts of Oregon though.

Sycamore

Around here all the money makin' places come with an old house and a bunch of acres.




And a couple old pickups and tractors.

That's because we grow better wine, second only to California.
