LI vineyard on the block for $10.8 million
September 29, 2009 11:30AM
One of the oldest vineyards on Long Island is listing its two grape-growing properties for a combined $10.8 million. The Palmer Vineyards first opened in 1983, but when the founder passed away in January, his family felt that the vineyard needed a new person at the helm. The two properties on the block are the winery, which sits on 61 acres in Aquebogue, and the vineyard, which comprises 62 acres in Cutchogue. They're listed at $6.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Brokers told the Post that East End vineyards rarely go up for sale, although they said there is an active "whisper market" for the grape spots. [Post]

So depressing...this is how most of Long Island has turned into housing units...family does not carry on traditions of the parents and we loose all our vineyards and farms. Hopefully the greatest winery out on LI does not turn into the next location for $1M homes.

I know for a fact that the Palmer family would never let that happen.

The Land is zoned (protected) as farm only use... Developers and Realators have been very disappointed with trying to develope the North Fork and Thank God for that!!!
