This 1-acre property offers high visibility along a major travel corridor, making it ideal for mixed-use, commercial, or hospitality redevelopment. A scenic creek runs along the right side of the property, adding natural charm and a peaceful setting while maintaining excellent road exposure. The unique combination of highway frontage, water feature, and historic architecture creates strong potential for a boutique inn, short-term rental, restaurant, retail space, or live/work concept (subject to municipal approvals).

Electrical service has been updated, with newer roofs on both the home and barn and a newer hot water heater already installed. The home will require a new furnace and renovation, presenting a strong value-add opportunity for investors or developers. Historically, the property served as the residence of a local country doctor and later operated as a well-known inn and restaurant, highlighting its long-standing commercial and hospitality potential.
