The gorgeous natural setting is both rare and one to treasure, whether taking in the gorgeous vineyard views or watching the sun set over West Grand Traverse Bay. The vineyard is planted with 9 acres (6 producing) of 5-6 high quality clones of Pinot Noir, including two Colmar clones from Switzerland. Currently, the grapes are sold to Black Star Farms with potential for a continued arrangement or sale on the open market at fair market value. Grapes from Old Mission are in heavy demand due to their high quality. The land, safeguarded through the Peninsula Township Purchase of Development Rights (PDR), is protected forever, the open space and agricultural contributions preserved in perpetuity. The property is zoned for one residential dwelling unit, a farm labor housing structure, or ag building, and there is a documented easement (see associated documents) for access via a private farm road off of Center Road. While completely private and serene, you are not far from Old Mission destinations, including the legendary Boathouse restaurant, Haserot Beach, Mission Point Lighthouse, and more. In the evening or on the weekends, visit and unwind at one of the many iconic nearby wineries, including Bonobo Winery, just steps away. There is no shortage of opportunities here, whether you envision a working farm, your own small winery, or simply a private residence surrounded by vines. ## Location - **Address:** Nelson Road, Traverse City, MI 49686 - **County:** Grand Traverse - **Coordinates:** 44.85923958, -85.52963513 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=44.85923958,-85.52963513 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://listings.mivirtualtours.com/videos/01a024b6-1f03-718a-9442-9c91ad930dd2?v=112 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Molly Buttleman - **Brokerage:** @properties Christie's Int'l - **Broker Phone:** 2316422363 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Nelson-Rd_Traverse-City_MI_49686_M93820-77273?f=listhub&s=TAAR&m=1949685&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![Nelson Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2085399151r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3394704556r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2334640961r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f1048719531r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2286952616r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2108757471r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2345696233r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3967486798r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2048011672r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f4222017685r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2376510611r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3165009495r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f970055007r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2546370510r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f1977837725r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2035795556r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3525286275r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f709494245r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f234672062r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f2152001292r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3560734531r.jpg) ![Nelson Road - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d4c74cd7f5dd6c07347f678ff6f05385l-f3388224162r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 1949685 | **Updated:** 2026-10-20 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Northern Great Lakes Realtors MLS.
