Set on 27.61 acres, Zingerman's Cornman Farms is an extraordinary historic estate that traces its roots to the 1830s. The 1834 farmhouse, completely renovated in 2014 with no expenses spared, pairs with a magnificent 1894 red barn event venue, blending timeless character with modern function. A true turn-key operation, the property transfers with a liquor license, special use permit, and many of the small details needed to run a premium event center. Seller will continue operations through Fall 2026 for a seamless transition. Exceptional infrastructure includes a commercial-grade kitchen, an 1888 stone smokehouse, addnl structures, rolling pastures, and a full farm generator - plus gas & electric hookups for tented events. Flat grounds accommodate tents up to 60x120. The 4-seasons barn ensures year-round venue capability. Ideal for agritourism, farm-to-table dining, weddings, private retreats, B&B, or beyond. Could also be converted back to a spectacular private residence.
