MISSOULA, MONTANA, TEN SPOON VINEYARD AND WINERY

A working vineyard and winery, and a hospitality venue, this is a great opportunity for a vibrant business next to Montana’s most lively urban area. Ten Spoon is also surrounded by Missoula’s most popular recreation areas, The Rattlesnake Wilderness and Recreation Area and Mt. Jumbo. It’s in the best of both worlds.

Established in 1998, Ten Spoon Winery + Vineyard offers a one-of-a-kind 21.5-acre property nestled in Missoula’s coveted Rattlesnake Valley. A true testament to sustainability and quality, the property is protected by a conservation easement tailored to allow a commercial-use building, four residential dwellings, an agricultural building and a multitude of other flexible options not common in traditional conservation easements. The easement was established to preserve the vulnerable open space and natural wildlife corridor, keeping the essence of this tranquil and beautiful area of Missoula intact.

The eight-acre vineyard grows approximately 3,500 vines in two fenced areas with complete drip irrigation system and steel infrastructure. Robust in cold climates, French American hybrid grapes thrive in the cobble of Lake Missoula’s glacial outwash. Ten Spoon’s varieties include Frontenac, St. Croix, Marquette, Swenson Red, Maréchal Foch, Leon Millot, St. Pepin, Lacrosse, and several other experimental types. Ten Spoon also produces dry and sweet cherry wines from Flathead Lake cherries, and pear wine from Washington state fruit.

Two solar trackers provide partial electricity for drip irrigation for the 8.5 acre vineyard and for the house. A perfected water right and two wells supply ample water, 28-acre feet for irrigation, winemaking, and domestic use.

The winery has state of the art equipment that can produce 6,000 cases/year.
The 4,000 sq ft winery building is constructed with twelve-inch-thick insulated stress skin panels made in Belgrade, MT, radiant floor heat, and insulated R panel doors on east and west ends. There is a certified kitchen in the bottling room and a handicapped bathroom.

The winery indoor and outdoor tasting areas and vineyard have provided a popular community gathering place for wine tasting, music, community harvests and private and public events for many years.

Settled into the property is a stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bath, + office, Mediterranean style home exquisitely designed with attention to detail, offering ample light with skylights and a wall of windows facing south. Lovely landscaping gives it privacy. The 2,650 sq ft house is all on one level. The owners spared no expense in its construction with 9' ceilings, emtek hardware, stainless appliances, Italian-style kitchen, stucco exterior, high efficiency construction, and steel roof.

This property is unique in that it is located close to downtown Missoula, with urban amenities - museums, galleries, restaurants, theaters, University of Montana, farmers markets, and more. Yet the property is adjacent to unlimited recreation in the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area, as well as in the surrounding open space areas.

One could make this property home while preserving the wonderful legacy or consider a multitude of other possibilities utilizing the agricultural resources of the 16.5 acres outside the building envelope. The winery can be expanded and converted into other uses, like a farm-to-table restaurant. The 5-acre building envelope allows for 2 more buildings and expansion of existing structures. A wonderful opportunity awaits the next creative person who appreciates the natural world to enjoy all that this property has to offer.
