Welcome to The Vineyard Court Loan/Note Opportunity

A Unique Vision: Where Hospitality Meets Wine Country

The Vineyard Court represents a rare convergence of vision, location, and opportunity in the growing short-term rental market. This isn't just another real estate investment—it's a carefully conceived extension of the established Cassell Vineyards ecosystem, positioned to capture an untapped market in Missouri's emerging wine country. Our approach is simple yet strategic: we target under-performing, multi-unit real estate assets in rural communities along critical highway arteries, like Interstate 60, and transform them through meticulous, high-end renovations into coveted short-term rentals.

The Cassell Connection: A Foundation of Success

Bill Cassell, the driving force behind Cassell Vineyards, has already proven his entrepreneurial vision by creating one of the region's most beloved destinations, just 8 minutes from the Vineyard Court. Inspired by a 25th anniversary trip to Italy's Tuscany and Chianti wine regions, Cassell returned with a dream to recreate that enchanting atmosphere in Mansfield, Missouri. As he shared in a recent Springfield Citizen interview: "We fell in love with the Italian countryside... We returned home with plans to create the same atmosphere with our vineyard.

What began as a passion project has blossomed into a thriving business, hosting weddings, wine tastings, and becoming a must-visit attraction in the Ozarks. Now, Cassell is expanding this vision by acquiring the Vineyard Court, a sixteen-unit complex in Mansfield that sat vacant for years. Renamed and reimagined, the property is being transformed to meet the growing demand for quality accommodations that complement the winery experience.

Why Mansfield, Missouri?

Mansfield, MO, a quiet town of 1,185 residents, sits along a vital stretch of Interstate 60, which sees an additional 100,000 travelers annually with further growth projected. The Vineyard Court enjoys an extraordinary competitive advantage:

• No competing lodging options for 20 miles to the east (Mountain Grove's Comfort Inn) and 35 miles to the west (Springfield).
• Host to four popular festivals, including the Wilder Days Festival, drawing over 60,000 visitors annually.
• Partnerships with local attractions like the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and the Mansfield Historical Society & Museum, showcasing pioneer life.
• Proximity to Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, a regional tourist draw.

This strategic location, combined with scarce lodging options, positions the Vineyard Court to meet a clear and growing demand in Missouri's wine country.
