Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a celebrated piece of Maine's winemaking history on the picturesque Schoodic Peninsula. Established in 1982, Bartlett Maine Estate Winery & Distillery is Maine's oldest winery, earning numerous awards for its distinctive wines and spirits. Known for its blueberry wines, along with pear, apple and blended varieties, the business expanded into distilling approximately 15 years ago, producing handcrafted brandies and rum. This turnkey offering includes state-of-the art winemaking and distilling equipment and all remaining inventory. The seller is willing to provide consulting services to ensure a smooth transition. Set on 20 wooded acres and surrounded by 700 acres of preserved land, the property features a 4,400-square-foot main building with production facilities, a charming tasting room and bar, a small wine cellar and a light-filled 800-square-foot apartment. The apartment offers a wall of windows, well-appointed kitchen, spacious living area, full bath and loft bedroom. A welcoming patio off the tasting room invites guests to relax and sample locally crafted wines and spirits, with potential for a food service component. A separate 7,400-square-foot warehouse and garage houses the distillery and provides generous storage. Ideally located near Acadia National Park's spectacular Schoodic location and the restaurants, galleries and shops of Winter Harbor and Gouldsboro, this exceptional property combines an established business, rich history and a desirable coastal Maine setting. An outstanding opportunity for an entrepreneur or hospitality visionary to build upon more than four decades of tradition.
