There's a big chocolate factory (and I mean a real chocolate factory) near where I work, and the entire area smells like melted chocolate. It's awesome and I would love to live right there so my apartment would smell like chocolate whenever I open the window.
I was wondering, would this feature in general be considered a selling point?
No, the smell of chocolate would not be a selling point. It might be an air pollution point and offend many people. If it were a nasty smell like a dump, it would definitely take value away, but smelling something like chocolate or flowers would not increase values.
What's the point in fretting about it, since there's nothing you can do about the location of the plant?

Agreed. I grew up downwind from a paper plant; that didn't affect property values one way or another. They certainly didn't go up when the paper plant closed. You want a nasty smell ...
Sounds like heaven! I have a friend who'd for sure buy!!
