Natural Bridge VA Homes for Sale

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Welcome to your slice of paradise in beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Halcyon Days Cider Co. & Labyrinth Orchard is a turnkey, boutique farm Cidery on 36.5 acres (4 parcels total). Established in 2018, Halcyon Days was the first Cidery to open in Rockbridge County. Surrounded by sweeping blue skies and stunning mountain vistas, the Cidery is ideally situated in Natural Bridge, VA and enjoys a steady stream of local and visitor traffic from the major Rt. 11 and I-81 corridors. Blending deep respect for traditional methods with newly refined techniques, Halcyon Days produces about 20 different delicious, quality dry and sweet hard ciders annually. By allowing the 100% Virginia-grown apples, including many heirloom varieties, to speak for themselves, Halcyon Daysâ ciders reflect true vibrancy and taste. The Cidery property contains multiple buildings and spaces, making for flexible, all-season uses. The owners painstakingly rescued an 1860s log cabin from nearby North Mountain and restored it to its former glory log by log to become the quaint-as-can-be Tasting Room. From the ample open and shaded outdoor seating to the adjacent game room and private event space to the Orchard Labyrinth and Event Pavilion, the Cidery is fully operational and optimally primed for the next owner to expand and grow the operations. You'll marvel at the large, almost-new Production Building built in 2022 and carefully designed by the owner with harvesting, processing, and bottling activities at the forefront. State-of-the-art equipmentâall of which conveys to the new ownerâincludes 18 unjacketed, stainless steel, 120-300 gallon tanks; hand-bottling machine, bladder press, small hydraulic press, work tables, pumps, filters, grinder, and carbonator. Production is even large enough to incorporate wine barrels, tanks, and some winemaking equipment, should the purchaser wish to explore winemaking activities onsite. The Cidery operates under a Virginia Farm Winery license. The one-of-a-kind Orchard Labyrinth located at the Cidery is a well-known attraction in Rockbridge County. An amazing feat, the design is modeled on the labyrinth of Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral in France. In this adaptation, the trees are pruned and trained along a trellis system to create the âwallsâ of the labyrinth. Planted in 2016, the Labyrinth is 4.45 acres and contains nearly 1,900 dwarf apple trees of 50 varieties. The orchards have an average annual production capacity of 800-850 bushels. The offer price includes four parcels. Two parcels make up the 11.08 Cidery property. Two off-site parcels total 25.46 acres and contain three separate orchard groves (5.52 acres). Adjacent to the off-site orchards, there are two additional parcels ( 10 acres total) available under separate purchase. ***Full marketing brochure available to qualified buyers.
