It's time to escape the algorithm and indulge in your next entrepreneurial adventure! Whether you continue selling to award-winning winemakers, envision launching a flagship estate wine label, or creating an Winery & Event Destination, Hawks’ Nest provides the canvas, the water security, and the proven yields. Positioned in the breathtaking Montezuma Valley near Telluride and Mesa Verde, Hawks’ Nest Vineyard offers a rare, high-altitude viticultural asset designed for those searching for a turn-key operation. Who doesn't love a solid foundation with potential for future growth?! Spanning 44 acres with sweeping 360-degree views, this property was strategically chosen and meticulously designed to capitalize on the phenomenal air drainage, intense UV exposure and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, to produce fruit with rare acidity, structure, and market value.  We've got the Viticultural Edge and bragging rights being the HIGHEST altitude Pinot Noir & Chardonnay Vineyard (if you find a higher one, let us know!) 10 Planted Acres in Production: 8 acres of established Pinot Noir and 2 acres of Chardonnay entering their peak production years. Delivering approximately 3 tons/acre (Pinot Noir) and approximately 2 tons/acre (Chardonnay) of highly sought-after, high-altitude fruit. Currently the harvests are sold on the open market, generating immediate income—or you can retain 100% of the yield to craft your own boutique estate label from Day 1.  Curious about the weather history or want to know what's happening when you're away? Colorado State University has a weather station on the property for current & historical weather information (including Growing Degree Days). 20+ cleared, fenced, expandable acres are ready for immediate expansion, fully enclosed with an 8-foot perimeter fence.  The remaining acreage was perfectly reserved for a future winery, event facility, luxury residence, or vacation rental cabins. In the American West, we all know water is the ultimate luxury. Hawks’ Nest Vineyard delivers absolute peace of mind: 21 shares of premier Montezuma Valley Irrigation Co. shares, which easily supports the existing operation and remaining cleared acreage under drip irrigation. Housed in the metal build on the NW corner of the property is the irrigation infrastructure including pressurized, automated watering system for efficiency. Bonus Potable Water Tap Included! Dedicated 5/8” domestic tap with a frost-free hydrant, primed for a future tasting room, crush pad, or luxury estate home.  When we said "turn-key", we meant it! 24’x26’ metal outbuilding, 40’ weatherproof Connex shipping container, 200-Amp electrical service, multi-zone automated drip irrigation, and a complete equipment package (tractor with implements, sprayer, trailer, and mowers).  On top of all of that, the sale includes netting for 10+acres, high-quality plant shelter grow tubes to develop additional acreage (irrigation already stubbed to other potential planting zones), and large fans for air movement if needed for frost conditions (not to worry, they've not been needed yet!). Located just outside Dolores, CO, Hawks' Nest sits at the gateway to Southwest Colorado's outdoor playground - minutes from Mesa Verde National Park, Four Corners. National Monument, and a short, scenic drive to Telluride, Durango, or Moab. Build a minimalist glass-and-steel tasting room on the ridge to host private tastings for high end clients, or continue selling your harvest on the open market to command top dollar. Whatever your final business destination may be, make Hawks' Nest Vineyard part of your journey!
