Turnkey Nursery with Significant Land Value & Redevelopment Potential
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational nursery situated on approximately 10 acres in Lake County, offering immediate income alongside substantial underlying land value and long-term redevelopment potential. Whether continuing the existing business or repositioning the property, this asset presents multiple paths to value.
Currently operating as a successful nursery known for producing high-quality Spathiphyllum (Peace Lilies), the property supplies major retailers and wholesalers and is offered as a true turnkey operation. The sale includes all structures, equipment, inventory, supplies, and an established book of business—allowing for a seamless transition and continued revenue from day one.
The site improvements include approximately 2 acres of 10-foot, double-poly greenhouses equipped with misting systems and 250,000 BTU heating. All of the greenhouses are gutter-connected and also benched out for efficient production. Additionally, the property features nearly 1.25 acres of shade houses, supporting year-round growing capabilities.
With supporting infrastructure including two 4-inch wells, an office, a break room, a tool shed, and a chemical application area, providing everything needed for continued operations or future repositioning.
Beyond the existing operation, the property’s true upside lies in its 10-acre footprint and flexibility. With lakefront positioning along Apshawa Lake and a poured concrete pad already in place, the site is well-suited for an owner-operator residence, private estate, or future redevelopment (subject to zoning and approvals). A dock and small boathouse further enhance the setting, creating a rare blend of commercial use and lifestyle appeal. The additional acreage also provides ample room for expansion of the nursery or alternative uses over time.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a profitable business today while securing a valuable land asset for tomorrow.
