Commercial Greenhouse: Constructed within the past two years, the state-of-the-art commercial greenhouse is an Atlas Manufacturing Grand Peak Series structure. According to available documentation, the building was engineered by a licensed structural engineer (Naeem Akhter, PE) to IBC-2018 standards, with permits approved by Clarke County. The greenhouse is approximately 10,800 SF and was purpose-built for intensive microgreen and specialty crop production with automated grow lighting and shade canopy control. It includes the following installed systems: a 200,000 BTU propane heating system; a 6’ x 80’ and a 6’ x 25’ evaporative cooling system with wall vents; multiple 56” slant-wall exhaust fans; 18” horizontal airflow fans; and multiple swing doors. The greenhouse has a larger, well-lit side designed for high-quality microgreens and a smaller, darker side ideal for growing mushrooms. Both sides are equipped with Herdio sound systems, hose reels, and multiple large, easy-rolling tray tables for a turn-key operation. The structure sits on an engineered concrete slab.
Steel Warehouse and Office Building: Constructed within the past two years, the steel support building was designed to house seeding operations, cold storage, office space, and equipment storage and is approximately 4,800 SF. The building was constructed by Carolina Carports and designed to complement the greenhouse as a single integrated production facility. Both structures are single-story, approximately 12’ in height, and built to Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (2018) standards.
Commercial Walk-In Refrigerator: A custom-fabricated International Coolers walk-in refrigerator unit invoiced in April 2024 at $23,116.90. The unit measures 12’ x 20’ x 7’ (1,680 cubic feet), and features NSF/ANSI-approved 4” polyurethane R-28 insulated wall and ceiling panels, a 26-gauge white galvanized interior and exterior finish, a 36” x 74” insulated steel door with deadbolt and inside safety release, two 4’ LED vapor lights, an NSF/UL-approved R-448A refrigeration system, a mechanical room thermostat, thermostatic expansion valve, liquid line solenoid valve, and a 4-year extended compressor warranty.
Non-Fixture Personal Property: The personal property identified as a non-fixture will be offered at the auction separately and together with the real estate. Please refer to the non-fixture personal property list for details.
