Meert Tree Farm, a long-standing Christmas tree destination in Festus, is for sale, offering buyers the chance to own not just a seasonal business, but an entire working farm that has been part of local holiday rituals since the 1970s.
The nearly 150-acre estate is listed at $2.2 million for the property, while the business and inventory are separately priced at $750,000, according to Coldwell Banker Realty Gundaker.
That package includes decades of built-in goodwill, repeat customers and a property already set up to handle crowds, events and multiple revenue streams.
A working farm that keeps the Christmas tradition alive
For generations, Boomkwekerij Meert has been the place to go on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree.
Outside of the holidays, the land continues to work: there are pumpkin patches, sunflower fields and other seasonal attractions that draw visitors all year round.
The farm covers almost 150 hectares with room to grow
Set at 14560 Dry Fork RoadStretching across the rolling Missouri countryside, the grounds offer much more than rows of evergreens. The sheer scale opens the door to expansion, whether that means expanding the farm, developing parts of the country or moving more towards agritourism.
The natural layout of the farm also makes it very suitable for large gatherings.
With wide open fields, water features and existing structures, the property has the capabilities to support weddings, festivals and corporate events without starting from scratch.
A shed built for companies (and events)
One of the notable buildings on the property is a large barn currently used as a retail space, complete with a full kitchen and bathrooms.
During the holiday season it acts as a hub for customers. Beyond that, the setup makes sense for private events, pop-ups, or food and beverage outlets related to on-site programming.
The presence of water features throughout the property adds an extra layer of flexibility, enhancing the visual appeal of the property while providing opportunities for outdoor event layouts and expanded uses.
With retail space, plus kitchen
Currently converted for commercial purposes, the barn features a kitchen that could be used as a coffee bar or similar use, and a vibrant retail space that adds to the whimsical character of the property.
Multiple homes generate income
In addition to the farm itself, several homes on the property provide additional income, making this more than a one-note seasonal operation.
Add rental income to the flow
These rental units help diversify income and soften the seasonality of the Christmas tree industry – an attractive factor for investors looking for more stable cash flow.
An income-generating property with history – and options
“This property offers a rare opportunity to own a versatile estate with an established income and significant growth potential,” said listing agent Kris Barr of Coldwell Banker Realty Gundaker.
Whether it is positioned as a working tree farm, an event-driven destination or a long-term land play, the property already has infrastructure – and a reputation – working in its favor.
At a time of year when most people drag trees home by the trunk, Meert Tree Farm offers something bigger: the chance to own an entire holiday tradition, with 150 acres of possibilities.
