Ready for the next chapter… In 2006, the Current owner bought a 34-acre corner lot overlooking Lake Ontario that was the site of a commercial apple orchard but had no utilities, buildings, or infrastructure. With a smart, well-timed plan, and lots of hard work and significant investment, in addition to continuing to operate the commercial orchard business, he launched and grew a significant regional hard cider brand.  After years of success, in 2023 he sold the brand to a large craft beverage producer and re-focused his cider-making efforts on a higher-end artisanal cider model under the Donovan Orchards Estate Ciders brand.
Today, the owner is looking to retire from the business to pursue other interests.  “This is a special piece of land and I love spending time here. Besides all the hours I’ve spent developing the property and tending to the orchards, I always enjoy just walking along the field roads and listening to the vast multitude of different species of birds singing. But I am ready for the next chapter now. I’m also looking forward to what the next chapter brings here for the new owners.  In the early years, I had spent nights here when working and I always thought it is a great spot for a beautiful homestead, overlooking the lake and benefiting from the fertile land and natural beauty.”
“I’ve engaged Mike to match a buyer for the property to me, but if anyone is interested in the business or equipment, they can speak with me directly about that aspect. The property is set up to easily accommodate a wide range of value-added agribusinesses.  Someone could run a cidery or winery and/or orchard business here, or a multitude of other ag based businesses. It is well-suited to enhance the existing retail, social aspect of it and take even more advantage of people being able to relax near Lake Ontario. There are lots of great structures suitable for other commercial uses, and as I said, I really picture a nice home being built here."
"It is a dream property for someone with the vision to nurture and enjoy it.”
