A winery for sale in Southern Oregon checks all the boxes: thriving vineyards, riverfront location, rolling meadows, mountain views and plenty of space to expand. It’s located in Applegate Valley, surrounded by the Siskiyou Mountains, which is picturesque without being too remote. The property is a half-hour south of the Rogue River and 15 minutes west of Medford.
Aside from the signature Spanish grape vines, the river and size of the spread at 11777 State Route 238 in Jacksonville make it a standout.

“The property with two-thirds of a mile of riverfront makes it very special,” says co-owner Les Martin. “There may be one or two wineries south of the Willamette River that have any frontage on a river. We have an actual river beach, as we call it.” Indeed, visitors kick off their shoes and dangle their feet in the water while sipping wine and dining al fresco.
Few wineries in Southern Oregon are set on the riverfront.
The vineyards take up a small portion—maybe 25 acres—of the much larger site. “This is a 260-acre piece of property that’s rare enough in itself, and it has this riverfront edge and all these great attributes,” Martin says. “There’s so much more you can do with that property.” The possibilities include adding horses or cattle to the mix or using it as a wedding venue or bed-and-breakfast destination.

Les and Rachael Martin opened Red Lily Vineyards in 2011, although they had planted grapes on the property five years earlier.

The operation can turn out a maximum capacity of 5,000 cases.
The property sits on 260 acres of park-like grounds.

The winery’s 1,885-square-foot tasting room opened in 2011. It’s made of tongue-and-groove cedar siding with a steep-pitched metal roof that fits in with the design of an 80-year-old barn connected by an enclosed breezeway.
A large pavilion and stone fireplace welcomes outdoor entertainment.
Log-beam ceilings, concrete floors and a river rock fireplace create a cozy area for visitors to linger while sampling wine. Wood that was reclaimed from the barn’s troughs was used to build the bar and sales counter. The tasting room also has an 800-square-foot covered patio that mirrors the indoor design.
