Just in time for Christmas, a slice of Midwest holiday tradition is officially up for grabs.
Meert Tree Farm, a long-running Christmas tree destination in Festus, has been listed for sale, offering buyers the chance to own not just a seasonal business, but an entire working farm that’s been part of local holiday rituals since the 1970s.
The nearly 150-acre property is being offered at $2.2 million for the real estate, with the business and inventory priced separately 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’s been keeping the Christmas tradition alive
For generations of families, Meert Tree Farm has been the place to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree.
Outside the holidays, the land keeps working — hosting pumpkin patches, sunflower fields, and other seasonal attractions that draw visitors year-round.
The farm spans nearly 150 acres with room to grow
Set at 14560 Dry Fork Road, the property stretches across rolling Missouri countryside and offers far more than rows of evergreens. The scale alone opens the door to expansion, whether that means growing the nursery operation, developing parts of the land, or leaning harder into agritourism.
The farm’s natural layout also makes it well-suited for large gatherings.
With wide-open fields, water features, and existing structures already in place, the property has the bones to support weddings, festivals, and corporate events without starting from scratch.
A barn built for business (and events)
One of the standout structures 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 functions as a hub for customers. Outside of it, the setup makes sense for private events, pop-ups, or food-and-beverage operations tied to on-site programming.
The presence of water features throughout the land adds another layer of flexibility, boosting the property’s visual appeal while opening up possibilities for outdoor event layouts and expanded uses.
With retail space, plus kitchen
The barn is currently set up for commercial purposes, and features a kitchen that can be turned coffee shop or similar uses, and a vibrant retail space that adds to the whimsical nature of the property.
Multiple homes generating income
Beyond the farm itself, several residences on the property provide additional income, making this more than a one-note seasonal operation.
Adding rental income to the stream
Those rental units help diversify revenue and soften the seasonal nature of the Christmas tree business — an appealing factor for investors looking for steadier cash flow.
An income-generating property with history — and options
“This property presents a rare opportunity to own a multifaceted estate with established income and significant growth potential,” said listing agent Kris Barr of Coldwell Banker Realty Gundaker.
Whether 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 are hauling trees home by the trunk, Meert Tree Farm is offering something bigger: the chance to own an entire holiday tradition, with 150 acres of possibility attached.
