Lucky Dog Vineyards: Award-Winning Production, Infrastructure, & Potential

Property Description

Midwest Land Group is proud to present an absolutely stunning 80 +/- acre working vineyard located just outside Mount Vernon, Missouri. Established in 2014, Lucky Dog Vineyards is a mature, healthy, and consistently productive vineyard with a proven history of quality fruit and award-winning wine production. The meticulously maintained property offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire an operating vineyard with established vines, extensive infrastructure, irrigation, and the specialized equipment needed to support ongoing vineyard operations.

Its diverse mix of red, white, and specialty grapes supports multiple wine styles and provides a strong foundation for continued production, estate wine development, or future agritourism opportunities. The established grape varieties include: 3 acres of Norton (received Best Norton recognition in 2026), 3 acres of Seyval (established white wine variety), 5 acres of Vignoles (back to back Governor’s Cup awards), 5 acres of Catawba (versatile American heritage grape), and 10 acres of Valvin Muscat (believed to be among the only privately owned Valvin Muscat vineyards in Missouri).

Five additional acres already have vineyard infrastructure in place and are ready for replanting. This substantially reduces the time, cost, and site-development work normally required to expand production. The property is served by a vineyard-wide drip irrigation system powered by two 5-horsepower pumps, providing dependable water distribution throughout the planted blocks and supporting future replanting plans.

Current vineyard development costs are estimated at approximately $19,000 to $26,000 per acre. Lucky Dog Vineyards offers the advantage of established, producing vines together with existing trellis and irrigation infrastructure, operational facilities, and vineyard equipment. A buyer can step into an established agricultural operation without facing the full cost and multi-year delay associated with developing a new vineyard from bare land. ** Listing note: Acreage, awards, development-cost estimates, and the rarity of the Valvin Muscat planting should be independently verified and supported with documentation before public marketing or closing.

In addition to the vineyard, the property offers open land for cattle, hay production, or other opportunities for crop production. There is plenty of space to add your own venue to complement the vineyard or remodel the older barn to allow guests to enjoy an evening of wine tasting! You will love the thoughtfully remodeled, 1,725 square foot farmhouse that is the centerpiece of the farm. Another major plus is the large shop area for equipment and tool storage. Enjoy the gorgeous sunrise and sunsets that this stunning property has to offer.

Such a rare opportunity to acquire a mature, award-winning vineyard with established production, specialty grape varieties, expansion-ready acreage, full drip irrigation, and the infrastructure required for continued operation. Call Land Agent Kellen Bounous today to schedule a showing!
