The Island Has A Long Historical Background
MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, Ohio, Posted 8:17 p.m. June 30, 1999 -- What would you buy if you won the lottery? How about a winery?NewsChannel5 reports the 121-acre historic Lonz Winery on Lake Erie's Middle Bass Island is up for sale.
It was once the country's largest winery, but wine hasn't been produced on Lonz for decades. The island also has a long history dating back to the early 1800s with connections to the war of 1812.
No word on an asking price, but it was sold for $400,000 back in 1980. The real estate firm handling the sale says everything is negotiable.
