Willie Nelson and Carl Cornelius are putting in Willies Place at the large truck stop on I-35 and 2959. This will be Willies museum, Willie Biodiesel, concert hall, truck stop, etc. I expect it to be a major travelers stop in the next year with excellent marketing possibilities. Willie Place is located where Cornelius Rd/2959 crosses I-35E. This is less than 1 mile away. http://www.biowillieusa.com/inner.php?editorpage=wpl I-35 is the route between Dallas/Ft Worth and Austin. This interstate gets 35,000 vehicles per day. One billboard sign should ensure a continual flow of customers.

Home is a 2 bedroom, one bath mobile home with 12 by 16 covered porch, gravel parking area, 2 car metal carport with 4 by 18 locking storage area, shed is 8 by 8, green house is 8 by 10, small dog pen, 500 gal propane. Home is in great shape, perfect for manager or while building out other lot/winery.

Barn is thick cement slab with 30 by 40 steel barn. Barn has roll up and standard door. See link. http://www.us-buildings.com/arch/a-model-metal-building.htm

Vineyard equipment includes 35 hp Yanmar tractor, 5 shredder, 5 finish mower, 200 gallon vineyard sprayer, 50 gallon ground/herbicide sprayer, trailer/tractor weed burner (great item), 20 half ton Macro bins, 2000 irrigation tubing, rake, 3 pt rock/dirt scoop, lots of small tools/items (clippers, tapener, bottles, $500 to 1000 of chemicals, etc.). Possibly 1 ton/hr crusher destemmer, 80L bladder press, 5 bottle filler, hand corker, 5 gal glass fermenters, 1 ton Ford 4 wheel drive pickup, Patriot skid steer loader with 4 attachments.

I have been part-time working the vineyard May thru August in the mornings; there is some work to do all year round. Sales are around 10k, expenses are about 4-5K. The vineyard is not really a living, but with an open winery, the venture would be a living. I just do not have the time to devote to the project. So, I am looking for a partner to take it to that level or to sell the place. This would be a great start for a winemaker or retiree or ?

Internet- I could not live somewhere high-speed internet access was not available. We have Internet America wireless service and love it. www.internetamerica.com

I think the mineral rights are included.  We are above the Barnett Shale natural gas deposit. You won't become the Clampetts, but it will help.
