Got a spare £1 million?

The winery I set up for the owners of the property back in 2000-2005 is up for sale. It was built in 1917 as a hospital for soldiers returning from WW1 who had been gassed. Later it became a residential hospital for seriously injured patients who needed professional care for sometimes years. While I was there we set up vineyards, built a winery within the building, set up a restaurant and an indoor swimming pool and accommodation for up to 150 people for special events in addition to 5 separate houses. It's for sale for a bit over $NZ2million.

It's a damn good price for what it is! It's 86 acres with an astonishing view and separate houses as well as the accommodation. Every year the Hawkes Bay community holds an event called "The Exhibition" and people come from other provinces and there are so many things to see, eat and buy. To just sit in the restaurant looking out over the river valley is amazing.

Re: Got a spare £1 million?

Hmmmm it's like the Hawkes Bay wineries know something. There have been so many up for sale or sold.

Colefield at Mangatahi
Campbell Brook at Bridge Pa
Tantallon at Bridge Pa
Kinross at Crownthorpe
Marlborough
Auckland winery
Matheson Vineyard
Dartmoor Vineyard
Vidal Estate
Pasks

etc etc

What gives?

Is this "Ring Of Fire" territory and you're all expecting a tsunami?

Re: Got a spare £1 million?

When I was winemaker at Te Mata Estate, in 1980's ,there were 8 wineries in Hawkes Bay. Last I heard there were 65!
I can't see Pasks or Vidals going for sale. Vidals is owned by Villa Maria in Auckland and has been since I set them up in 1977.
If a tsunami wipes out Hawkes Bay it's the end of the world anyway!
